Can you take a pram or stroller on the Copenhagen Metro?

Travelling with small children on the metro

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, you can bring a pram, a fold-up pram or a stroller on the Copenhagen Metro for free, as of November 2026. Park it in the flex areas, the parts of the train with fold-down seats. You share these areas with wheelchairs, bicycles, scooters and large luggage, so space can run out at busy times. Up to two children under 12 travel free with an adult who has a ticket, and they may sit in the pram or stroller if there is room.

Why

  1. Prams need no ticket on the metro.
  2. Flex areas are made for prams, wheelchairs and bikes.
  3. Small children ride free with an adult.

Details

Bicycles and large scooters are not allowed on the metro on weekdays 07:00–09:00 and 15:30–17:30, but prams are allowed all day.

Tip

If the flex area in one car is full, walk to another one or wait a few minutes for the next train.

What may differ

If a metro line is replaced by Metrobuses during works, space for prams is more limited.

Common misconception

Many parents think a pram needs its own ticket on the metro.

What actually happens

The pram rides free, and up to two children under 12 travel free with a paying adult.
