What is the difference between City Pass Small and City Pass Large?

Two passes, two areas

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

City Pass Small covers zones 1–4, which include central Copenhagen and Copenhagen Airport. City Pass Large covers zones 1–99, the whole Capital Region, so it also takes you to Helsingør, Hillerød and Roskilde. Both give unlimited travel by bus, train, metro, harbour bus and light rail for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours. As of November 2026 Small costs from 100 kr. and Large from 200 kr. for 24 hours for an adult.

Why

  1. Small is enough for the city and the airport.
  2. Large is for day trips in the Capital Region.
  3. Both cover all local transport types.

Details

Neither pass includes admission to attractions; it is transport only.

Tip

Pick Large only on the days you go to Helsingør or Roskilde, and Small on the days you stay in the city.

What may differ

Prices can change, so check the current price before you buy.

Common misconception
