Rare luvbigdogs Posted December 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We fly into Copenhagen at 7:30am and leave out on a cruise at 5:00pm. Does anyone know of a place to hold luggage for the day while we tour the city? I doubt the cruise line would take luggage before noon. Any help would be appreciated!

bxny Posted December 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Usually train stations in the center of town have lockers that you can store them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted December 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just use the luggage boxes at the central station (København H) located next to track 12. The airport/Öresund train will take you directly from the airport to København H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luvbigdogs Posted December 15, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks so much for the advice. So, once at the central station and my bags are stored, is there plenty to see and do within walking distance? Or I think I read on another thread to ride a bus around the city (the HOHO bus?). We have at least 3 hours before we would need to head to the cruise port. What is your recommendation on getting from that train station to the cruise port?

Danish viking Posted December 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Give me a date and the ships name or the ships docking location if you have it and i can help you. All the tourist sites are in walking location from København H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luvbigdogs Posted December 16, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The ship is Norwegian Sun, and the date we fly in to get onboard will be on July 1, 2011. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted December 17, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2010 You are in luck because its not a weekend so you can take bus number 26 from København H directly to the Freeport Terminal, the bus stop is called Kalkbrænderihavnsvej. But remember to use the bus with the destination Færgehavn Nord and not Langelinie (The cruise ships) because the route splits up after Østerport. The schedule from København H is on minute numbers 07-27-47 and not 17-37-57 and the bus dont departs from the regular busstops but from Vesterbrogade but its easy to find. http://www.moviatrafik.dk/Terminalkort/Hovedbanen.pdf This trip takes around 40 minutes but will show you central Copenhagen from the window. You can also take the S-train to Nordhavn and walk from there because it only takes 22 minutes. But you can also use a combination of the S-train to Østerport and bus number 26 to the Freeport Terminal. The S-train takes 6 minutes from København H to Østerport. The bus departs from Østerport/Folke Bernadottes Allé at the minute numbers 06-26-46 to Færgehavn Nord http://www.moviatrafik.dk/Terminalkort/Østerport.pdf You can also use the other bus stop (Østerport st., Sløjfen) seen in the lower right corner of the terminal map at minute numbers 08-28-48, its more convenient because this bus stop is not located next to the road so the bus is stopping for a longer time. http://map.krak.dk/m/IZur8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luvbigdogs Posted December 17, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wow!! I cannot thank you enough for all this information. I feel much better about getting around now. We look forward to our day in Copenhagnen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted December 17, 2010 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I forgot to ad that you can see the luggage storage at the terminal card for the central station. It is located at the same place as the CykelCenter and the airport train normally arrives at track 3 and 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giantfan13 Posted December 17, 2010 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2010 that's it, drop those bags off and start walking around this just magnificent city.;););););) Most of the 'sights' are within a mile or so radius, so it is not hard to walk around and see everything. If you like, you can write to the Copenhagen tourist bureau and ask them to send you a packet of info. We did this and we got a great map of the city with some terrific walking tours. http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/ Here are a few of my pixs of Copenhagen to help get you excited about this marvelous city Of course the 'MUST SEE' is the Little Mermaid, back on her rock in Copenhagen Harbor http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europe212.jpg Another 'Must See' is the Nyhavn section. here you should do the Canal boat ride and just wander around this truly amazing section http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europemaster248.jpg Everyday, at the Palace, they have a Changing of the Guard ceremony http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europe233.jpg Copenhagen is such a great city to walk around and just take in all the wonderful sights http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europemaster285.jpg In one of the main squares, you will view and can visit it's Town Hall http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europe326.jpg You also should make time to visit Rosenborg Castle, where you can view the Crown Jewels. Take time to wander around the beautiful rose gardens http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/baltics/europe332.jpg Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luvbigdogs Posted December 18, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted December 18, 2010 More great info!! Thanks, Len! The Copenhagen web-site is extremely helpful. I have read a lot of your postings on CC, and learned a lot. There is so much research to do covering 6 countries in 9 days on our upcoming cruise. Thank goodness for Cruise Critic!! Thanks again to Danish Viking and Giantfan13!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lton Posted January 3, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 3, 2011 We will be arriving on June 26, 2011 to cruise on MSC Poesia. We would love to hear from your expertise about how to get from the Airport /Central train station to the cruise port not using Taxi. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted January 3, 2011 #14 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Because you in Copenhagen on a sunday there will be no busses to the cruise pier but there are 2 options to get from the airport to the cruise terminal. 1) Metro to Nørreport st. and then change for the northbound S-trains and get off at Nordhavn st. From here you walk to the pier in 10 minutes time. 2) Öresund/airport train to either København H (Central Station), Nørreport or Østerport station. Here you will also get on the northbound S-train and get off at Nordhavn St. Northbound S-trains are heading for Klampenborg, Holte, Hillerød or Farum and departs every 20th minute on each line because its the sunday schedule.
