Does the Copenhagen Card cover the train to Helsingør and Roskilde?
Day trips on the DISCOVER card
Short answer
Yes. The Copenhagen Card DISCOVER includes unlimited public transport in zones 1–99 of the Capital Region, so you can take the train to Helsingør, Roskilde and Hillerød. The card must be active for the whole trip, also on the way back. Malmö in Sweden is not included, because it lies outside the Capital Region. The Copenhagen Card HOP does not include public transport at all.
Why
- Zones 1–99 cover the whole Capital Region.
- Trains, metro, buses and harbour buses are included.
- Sweden is outside the card area.
Details
The DISCOVER card also covers public transport between Copenhagen and the airport while it is active.
Tip
Plan the return trip so you are back before the card runs out, or buy a ticket for the last part.
What may differ
Card rules can change, so check the conditions before you activate the card.
Common misconception
Many think the Copenhagen Card only works inside the city.
What actually happens
DISCOVER covers all of zones 1–99, so trains to Helsingør and Roskilde are included.
