What are the current travel restrictions for Copenhagen?
Currently, Denmark travel restrictions include travel to Copenhagen. Denmark has updated its travel restrictions as of June 27. Danish nationals and residents may still return to Denmark from anywhere. For travelers who are not residents or nationals, entry regulations depend on whether they are arriving from an ‘open’ country or a ‘banned’ country. A country’s status can change dependent on its infection rate for COVID-19. The status is updated weekly on Thursdays and can be found here. As of August 19, all EEA countries and the UK are "open", with the exceptions of Spain, Belgium, Malta, Romania and Bulgaria. All countries outside the EU/Schengen area and the UK are currently 'restricted', except for Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uruguay. Travelers arriving from 'open' countries can enter Denmark without having to go into a quarantine. Travelers with a ‘worthy purpose’ may also travel to Denmark without having to go into a two-week quarantine. Proof will be required to demonstrate a ‘worthy purpose’ to enter. Examples of 'worthy purposes' include work or study in Denmark, transporting goods, and various family-related reasons, for example visiting a family member or partner who is a Danish resident. The full list of 'worthy purposes' is subject to change and can be found here. Travelers from a "banned" country are advised to check with the Danish authorities on their helpline (+45 7020 6044) to confirm whether they will be allowed entry into the country. The Danish government permits “sweethearts”, fiancees, and other close relations of Danish citizens or foreign nationals legally residing in Denmark to enter Denmark, so long as the individual can present proof of a negative COVID-19 test carried out no more than 72 hours before entry. This exception is Denmark-specific and does not apply to all countries within the Schengen zone or EU. Travelers going to Denmark under the “sweetheart declaration” from outside the EU are strongly encouraged to take a nonstop flight to Denmark to ensure smooth entry into the country. For more information on this regulation, see here. Travelers returning to their home country may transit through Denmark. All travelers transiting or traveling to/from Denmark must wear masks at all times on flights and inside the airport. If you are planning to travel to Copenhagen at this time, it is recommended that you stay up to date on current restrictions and follow proper safety measures while in public.

How to get around in Copenhagen?
Copenhagen is a small town with a big city vibe. The town is compact and most of the popular attractions are within walking or biking distance from each other. Many of the downtown streets are pedestrian-only zones.
Biking
Biking is a popular way to get around in Copenhagen. Bycyklen (The City Bike), the city’s official bike share program features over 2,000 intelligent electric bikes at over 100 Bycyklen stations. If you opt for a Pay as You Go plan, for 30 kr an hour you can enjoy unlimited usage of all Bycyklen stations in the city.
Public transportation
Copenhagen’s public transportation system includes buses, trains, the subway system (Metro), and a commuter light-rail system (S-Tog). Most buses leave from the Rådhuspladsen (City Hall square) in the middle of the city. The Metro lines run east-west and operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Trains arrive every 2 – 3 minutes during rush hour, and every 15 minutes at night. The S-Tog connects Central Station to the city suburbs. You can transfer from a bus or Metro line to an S-Tog line.
