Copenhagen: metro or train from CPH

HopTrip · Reviewed

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) serves both city travel and further travel through the region. Before you go down to the platform, determine on which side of the strait is your accommodation. Metro and train are different variants, although both are available at Terminal 3.

Metro at Terminal 3

CPH indicates a metro station in a direct extension of Terminal 3. Check out the nearest station and the necessary transfers. After arrival, follow the metro marking; the public transport mark itself does not determine which platform leads to the selected destination.

Trains to Denmark and Sweden

The airport website describes the railway connections at Terminal 3, including the Copenhagen centre and to Sweden. Check the end direction name on the departure board instead of choosing the train only by hour. For the rest of the railway, select the appropriate transfer station and ticket for the entire section you need.

Urban transport and travel across borders

Ticket to Copenhagen hotel and ticket to a village in Sweden are not the same purchase. Check product scope, settlement currency and requirements for your documents in official travel sources. This guide does not set individual entry conditions.

Late landing and return

Before an evening arrival, check both transport from CPH and the final leg to your accommodation. For an early return, include the route from the station to check-in. An event or holiday can affect accommodation and timetables; compare the whole plan before judging the airfare.
