What is included in the Copenhagen Card?
DISCOVER or HOP: what you get
Short answer
The Copenhagen Card DISCOVER gives entry to more than 80 attractions in the whole Capital Region and unlimited public transport in zones 1–99, including trips to and from the airport while the card is active. Tivoli Gardens, the National Museum, Rosenborg Castle, the Amalienborg Museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and Canal Tours Copenhagen are among the included attractions in November 2026. The HOP card covers more than 40 attractions in central Copenhagen and the Stromma hop-on hop-off buses, but no public transport.
Why
- One card replaces many single tickets.
- DISCOVER includes public transport in zones 1–99.
- Big sights like Tivoli and Rosenborg are included.
Details
Unused cards can be fully refunded within six months of purchase, and a card expires two years after it is bought.
Tip
Pick DISCOVER if you need the metro and trains, and HOP only if you plan to get around by sightseeing bus.
What may differ
The list of attractions can change during the year, so check it before you buy.
Common misconception
Some visitors think every Copenhagen Card includes public transport.
What actually happens
Only DISCOVER includes public transport: the HOP card cannot be used on buses, metro or trains.
