I live in Copenhagen - can give advice

[Danish viking]

The central station and the airport has these lockers.

 

The ones at the central station cost 40 DKK.

We are taking a Baltic cruise on NCL leaving Copenhagen on Aug 24. We tried but were not able to get extended days on the trip, so are hoping to cram in some sights between either setting sail on the 24th or when we get back on Sept 2, before we depart back to the US.

 

On other forums I've seen threads about luggage lockers available for rent in Copenhagen. Understand they are available at the airport and at a couple of train stations -- City Center and Osterport? Any way to verify where to find them and how much they cost? How big they are? The plan is to stash our bags someplace and roam Copenhagen for at least a few hours.

 

Hope to get some helpful tips.

 

I am sure that someone asked this question earlier and can lead me to some answers. Will be be in the city for only one day on a cruise. We are 4 seniors but active. What is the best way to see the city in this time frame?

[Danish viking]

A few pages back i made a walking route that can be used if you like parks.

 

It will start out "green" but you will pass all the sights.

 

It is post 2956 on page 148.

We will be in Copenhagen in August leaving on the Emerald Princess on Aug 20th. I am a bit confused by some of the reading on here about the Canal Tours. there is one that is a part of the HoHO buses. and then I think I have read about ones that are DFDS Canal Tours and then Nette Baden Canal Tours. The last one seems to be cheaper. Is one better than the other and are they different from the HOHO canal tours Also can you buy tickets for them ahead of time. I have used Viator but am not sure what they offer is the same. Help??

 

Janteach we are planning on do the two day ticket DFDS canal boat and HOHO buses. That might interest you also?

Hi DK,

 

Do you know of the North Zealand Castle tour?

What website would you use to book it so I can compare prices.

 

Many thanks!

IS there any admission to just walk around the Gardens. We are not interested in any rides.

[Danish viking]

95 DKK in the high season but free if you have the Copenhagen Card.

I will be staying in Malmo and visiting Copenhagen a few days via round trip on the train. Does one go through Customs and Immigration on each train trip between the two cities?

 

Not a problem but just wondering.

 

Cheers

[Danish viking]

Not really but sometimes they go trough the train to do ramdom searches but they do not stop the train at the boarder if that is what you think.

True

This one is a photo stop only at Kronborg vs the other which goes into Kronborg and includes entrance fee.

Wondering what the cheapest way to book it is

[Danish viking]

Oh sorry, i missed that one, but it will always be cheaper to do it yourself but i can calculate a price when i get home on the computer.

[Danish viking]

24 hour train/bus ticket 130 DKK

 

Entrance at Frederiksborg Slot

 

60 DKK

50 DKK if you are 60+

 

Kronborg Castle

 

Ticket to cover it all = 95 DKK

The Royal appartments, Ballroom, casemates, Castle Chapel = 70 DKK

Casemates, Castle Chapel = 20 DKK

Danish Maritime Museum, The Telegraph Tower = 50 DKK

 

 

You take the S-train from Copenhagen Cntral station (København H) with line B this summer because of track repairs (not on this route), normally line E would be used.

This trip should take no more than 35-40 minutes.

 

Busses from Hillerød Station to the castle and back

301, 302 og 324 in almost 10 minutes time.

 

You can also walk from the train station in around 20 minutes.

BTW don´t miss out on the beautiful barock Garden behind the castle lake, its free.

 

A small local train will get you from Hillerød to Helsingør where Kronborg can be seen from the train station, this trip takes around 25 minutes.

 

The Øresund train will get you back to Copenhagen in around 45 minutes.

Danish Viking that is a great site. I have been able to find a number of reasonably priced restaurants thanks to the info there (and Google Translate :-)). Looking forward to my 3 days in CPH next month!

Hi Danish Viking,

My wife and I will arrive in Copenhagen on June 29 for a Baltic Cruise, and then on July 11, we will return to Copenhagen and have that day to explore the city before boarding the overnight ferry to Oslo, which leaves from DFDS at 1700 that evening. We will, of course have our luggage, which we would like to stow somewhere for that day before we board the ferry.

I understand that there are luggage lockers at the Central Station, but we would like to find someplace closer to the dock if possible. We have heard mixed messages about whether or not the luggage can be stowed at DFDS, which, I understand, is the debarkation point for the Oslo ferry. Can you confirm whether or not our luggage can be stowed there?

Thank you for the help.

I can´t remember seeing anyone at the ferry terminal but if you email them maybe they will store it or can tell if there are any luggage boxes.

And when you get the answer you are welcome to post it in this thread.

 

Remember that 20E is a free shuttle bus that will get you back to the terminal before departure, the bus departs from Kongens Nytorv.

Hopefully someone can help me.

My husband and I are considering a cruise in late September from Copenhagen. Could someone tell me what travel arrangements are available from Gothenburg to Copenhagen train. I've found prices for air travel but I'm having a problem with what train to take and the cost in American dollars.

Thank you for any information.

Thank you Andersj and Danish Viking for your quick responses.

There may be follow up questions :D.

[Danish viking]

Just bring them on :)

 

 

BTW my real name is also Anders, its a small world.

[andersj]

Godt navn he he :P

 

You have to buy the tickets at http://www.raileurope.com because SJ.se only post tickets to Denmark, Sweden and Norway, or maby you can buy them at your local train station that sells international tickets.

From the airport to the Clarion Hotel Mayfair, is it easier to take the M2, a train or a taxi on a Thursday morning?

Thanks for your help.
