Danish viking Posted June 20, 2012 #3926 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I did make a response in thread number 3901 but i can tell you the same again. :D Bus 26 towards Ålholm Plads will get you to Kongens Nytorv were Nyhavn and the canal tour is located. This map will show you how to get back to the ship from Nyhavn and take you to Amalienborg and The Little Mermaid on the way home. http://maps.google.dk/maps?saddr=Nyhavn,+K%C3%B8benhavn&daddr=Amalienborg+Slotsplads,+K%C3%B8benhavn+to:Den+lille+Havfrue+to:Langelinie,+K%C3%B8benhavn&hl=da&ie=UTF8&geocode=FemYUQMdvCLAACE4vU4Eke_lQg%3BFeasUQMdMSfAACmXtjw3IlNSRjHZ4cl7QUfVtA%3BFSzOUQMd2j_AACE8HjWiDJCo3w%3BFTXZUQMddkLAACHZey-4AUdZ9ikxdoMq3FJSRjEPysqOWp7a1Q&oq=langelinie&dirflg=w&doflg=ptk&mra=ls&t=m&z=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top of the world Posted June 20, 2012 #3927 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Danish Viking, Thank you so much for all your valuable information. I have read the last 50 pages of this thread and I don't remember seeing the answer to my question: We will be staying at the Best Western Hebron at Helgolandsgade 4. We would like to go to the Museum of Danish Resistance on a Sunday. (Not sure if the day makes a difference.) Which bus should we take from the hotel to the museum? Where is the closest bus stop from the hotel? Then we will walk to Nyhavn to take the canal tour. Which bus should we take from Nyhavn to go back to our hotel? Thanks again for all the help you give to all of us. It is really appreciated. Lise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted June 20, 2012 #3928 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I will get back to you tomorrow because looking up several pages is impossible on my phone :confused: Btw Lise sounds very danish or at least Scandinavian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rienchen Posted June 20, 2012 #3929 Share Posted June 20, 2012 From the Crowne Plaze its very easy to get to the pier, i assuming that your ship is docked at the freeport terminal. Then just take the train from Ørestad station towards Nivå or Helsingør and get off at Østerport station. Now you got up to 3 options depending on what day your ship is departing. 1) take a northbound S-train and get of at Nordhavn station where you can walk in 10 minutes time. 2) take a taxi because its way cheaper than taking all the way from the hotel. 3) If your ship is departing on a regular weekday (no weekends or public holidays) you can take bus 26 towards Færgehavn Nord at get of at the freeport terminal. If we wanted to leave the hotel on Saturday morning, with our luggage, and do some sightseeing before boarding the ship at freeport, what are our options? Do any of the stations(nordhavn?) offer luggage lockers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasybanks Posted June 21, 2012 #3930 Share Posted June 21, 2012 At the airport in CPH: are you able to buy duty free before exiting to CPH? At some airports you can buy before you leave the terminal and not have to carry from home. Please advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismo1 Posted June 21, 2012 #3931 Share Posted June 21, 2012 There is a tax free on arrival shop in the baggage claim hall. To shop there you have to show your boarding pass from your arriving flight. You can not purchase hard liquor or cigarettes in this shop, but perfumes, wine, beer chocolate etc. (but you will probable find things being cheaper in regular shops in Canada.)

Coolcruise02 Posted June 21, 2012 #3932 Share Posted June 21, 2012 http://wikitravel.org/en/File:CPH_stog_metro_districts.png On the above train map it shows a “grey” line from the pier to the airport (either Osterport or Nordhavn station,depending on where we dock) Is this an active route? I don’t see any numbers at either end of this route. After our Eurodam cruise ends on July 24th we plan on walking to either the Nordhavn or Osterport train station. I thought we would have to transfer at the main station but this grey line looks like it goes on to the airport. Is that correct? How many zones would that be? FYI-we are perfectly capable and willing to walk 20-30 min with our luggage and we have plenty of time as we don’t have to be to the airport until 13:00. Thanks!

Danish viking Posted June 21, 2012 #3933 Share Posted June 21, 2012 @ top of the world First you take bus 15 (towards Østerbro/Ryparken) or 1A (towards Hellerup) from the central station and get off at the bus stop at Esplanaden/Grønningen were the museum is located 200 meters from. The map of Hovedbanegården will show you all the bus stops at the central station. http://www.moviatrafik.dk/dinrejse/kort/terminalkort/pages/terminalkort.aspx On the way home you can use both busses again and also bus 26 that will get you closer to your hotel if you continue just one stop after the central station. @ Rienchen No only at the central station. @ Coolcruise02 You can only get to the port directly from Østerport station but if you are docked closer to Nordhavn you simply just take any southbound S-train from Nordhavn station and change at Østerport. If your ship is in port Monday to Friday you can also get bus 26 from the freeport terminal to Østerport station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rienchen Posted June 21, 2012 #3934 Share Posted June 21, 2012 @ Rienchen No only at the central station. Thank you, I guess if we really wanted to stay at the Crowne Plaza at the airport(it's quite a bit cheaper and we like the shopping center being across the road) we could do the following. (It will be a Saturday) take the train from Orestad to Central Station, leave our luggage here and do a couple of hours of sightseeing, then pick up luggage and make our way to the port via taxi(since the 26 doesn't run on Saturdays?) We still have to see and decide, the shopping center doesn't seem to have a supermarket and I really wanted to browse a little bit as this is my only chance at going to Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolcruise02 Posted June 22, 2012 #3935 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @ top of the world @ Coolcruise02 You can only get to the port directly from Østerport station but if you are docked closer to Nordhavn you simply just take any southbound S-train from Nordhavn station and change at Østerport. If your ship is in port Monday to Friday you can also get bus 26 from the freeport terminal to Østerport station. Ok, that makes sense. I see the black dot next to Osterport and none next to Nordhavn. Is this correct; if I get on at Osterport I do NOT have to change trains to get to the airport?How many zones should I get a ticket for, if I'm going to the airport? What is the cost per zone? Thanks again for ALL your help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted June 22, 2012 #3936 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @ Rienchen There is a Bilka in Fields that you can do your shopping in. And yes the bus does not go out to the Freeport in the weekend but Nordhavn station is only 10 minutes on foot from the Freeport terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted June 22, 2012 #3937 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @ Coolcruise02 Yes the train goes directly to the airport from Østerport with only 4 intermediate stops. There are 3 zones and a 3 zone single ticket costs 36 DKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted June 23, 2012 #3938 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Danish Viking, please remember that quite a few Cruise Critics will be in Copenhagen overnight on September 7 in between sailing on Vision and Brilliance. We would love to meet up with you and thank you in person for being such a great guide to your wonderful city. :):) Many of us are staying at the Scandic Palace, and many are staying at the Scandic Copenhagen. Can you think of a place to meet for a cocktail and/or dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish Viking, Thank you very much. I copied your information and will take it with me to Copenhagen. BTW I am not Danish or Scandinavian, but my name may be! I'm French Canadian originally from Montreal, now living in the US. The name Lise is the French equivalent for Lisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted June 23, 2012 #3941 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I would love a CC meet up in Copenhagen, perhaps Tivoli with its many restaurants will be a fitting place and I have a season card as well. :D I'm not a huuuge cocktail drinker but a weissbeer at the beer garden or a smørrebrød in the restaurant called Madklubben would be a nice introduction to the more simply but famous danish cuisine.

Danish viking Posted June 24, 2012 #3943 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Probably just wishful thinking :) But the central library, S-trains, some cafe's, some busses (if not all) does have free hotspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did I know??? I knew I had written it down in my notes regarding Copenhagen; most of those notes are from your thread. I was determined to find it, so I read (quickly) through most of my information and found it on page 25 of 47... lots of notes... A long time ago, when you replied to someone's questions, you wrote: (From Danish Viking:) BTW my real name is also Anders, it’s a small world. Thanks again, Anders, for the wonderful information you provide for us. Too bad we only have 3 days to do all the things I have been reading about! We are really looking forward to visit your beautiful city. Lise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bw333 Posted June 26, 2012 #3947 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Danish Viking-Your advise quote from a few threads back "Bus number 26 stops at the national museum and takes you back to Langelinie just in time The bus at 15:43 and 16:03 from Stormbroen, Nationalmuseet will get you to Langelinie in 22 minutes." My question is where to purchase bus tickets, and how much are bus tickets, and forms of payment accepted? Your advise is great! Thanks for your help, and look foward to visiting your city.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roothy123 Posted June 26, 2012 #3949 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wow, Danish Viking, you have a heart of gold and the patience of a saint answering all the same questions over and over again! If people just went on movia.dk, they'd find it's really not that hard to find your way, and then once you are in central CPH, a lot is truly walkable! Anyway, I have a question that I might be able to put in Google Translate and get answered, but if you have time, I thought I'd toss it out to you: We're going to Bornholm. There's a street called Langelinie in Roenne. Would you know what that translates to in English? It seems to be such a common street name, and now I'm curious! I thought perhaps it had to do with a harbor, but in Roenne, the street is really nowhere near the harbor, so I guess not! Also, the restaurant you mentioned above in Tivoli - would you say it's moderately priced (at least for Copenhagen, and at least for Tivoli - I know prices are high in general)? We will likely eat in Tivoli so I'm been looking around for a reasonable but pretty basic place - any cuisine, although I have to admit that herring is not on my list of things to try, even in Denmark! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
