Find buses to Copenhagen

Copenhagen buses typically pick up passengers at bus stops on Ingerslevsgade Street, right outside the DGI Byen Hotel. These bus stops are located in the downtown area only a short walk from the Copenhagen Central Station, which provides service for local and long-distance trains. For those in downtown hotels, the bus stops should only be a few blocks away. If you’re a bit further out of the central district, then the S-trains and the Metro provide regular service to the nearby Central Station. For the S-trains, lines A and E go north to south, line B goes west to north, and line C goes west to northeast. If you’re staying in the eastern portions of Oslo, then Metro lines M1 and M2 can bring you to the central district. If you prefer private transport options, then ride-sharing services and taxi services are available as well.

The benefits of taking Copenhagen buses over planes, cars, and trains, are three-fold. The first benefit is affordability. Copenhagen bus prices tend to be cheaper than plane tickets, train tickets, and the costs associated with driving (tolls, parking, gas). The second benefit is location. Copenhagen Airport is a few miles outside of central Copenhagen, so it requires an extra trip that costs time and money. In contrast, the bus stops are conveniently located downtown right next to hotels, restaurants, museums, and more. The third benefit is ease of use. When compared with driving a car, bus travel provides a more relaxing experience. Instead of having to learn Copenhagen road rules, pay attention to traffic flows, and search out parking spaces, you can recline, look out the window, and take in all the new sights.

Before you board a Copenhagen bus, it’s important to make sure you have a government-issued photo ID and, if needed, a visa. For most foreign travelers, college IDs and other forms of alternative ID are not accepted. If the Copenhagen bus has an international route, then it’s the duty of the passenger to have any extra travel documents that may be required. A reduced rate is paid by children under the age of 13, but they must be traveling with a companion who is at least 17 years old. Since there are no station staff or ticket machines at the Copenhagen bus stops, it’s recommended that passengers purchase their Copenhagen cheap bus tickets online (through momondo, for example), via an app, or on the bus. Digital tickets should be downloaded and shown to the bus driver before boarding. Passengers should arrive at least 15 minutes before the bus’s scheduled departure to ensure prompt departure.

The ticket price can vary depending on general demand and more importantly where you’re coming from. If you’re leaving from a popular departure point like Aalborg for instance, prices usually start around $45. Gothenburg and Stockholm are other options, with prices usually starting from around $227 and $99 respectively.
