Green transportation

Copenhagen is easy to get around and is often seen best on foot. Should you however be in need of some means of transportation, here are a couple of climate-friendly suggestions.

Amager-Øbro Taxi

Driving by taxi increases CO2 consumption. That is why Amager-Øbro Taxi has chosen to neutralize all journeys in the company's taxis. This means that if you book a CO2 neutral taxi through Amager-Øbro Taxi, they neutralize the CO2 that your car causes.

Not only CO2 from your ride, but also the CO2 released when the car drives without passengers. The result is a 100 percent CO2 neutral taxi ride.

CityCirkel buses

In 2009 Copenhagen introduced a new climate-friendly bus route. The electric driven CityCirkel buses run every seven minutes and take you to some of Copenhagen's top attractions.

The buses run all day on electricity from batteries which are charged during night time. Thus the electric driven buses emit less CO2 than cars and ordinary buses. While there is no pollution from exhaust fumes and hazardous particles from the new buses.

DFDS Canal Tours   

Since 2009 you have been able to go on a climate-friendly canal tour onboard DFDS Canal Tours' boats. You can board the boats at Nyhavn and Gammel Strand in the heart of Copenhagen.

The company collaborates with the Port of Copenhagen to put special focus on the climate and environment by reducing the speed of the 16 tour boats on their daily journeys in Copenhagen's canals, thereby reducing their CO2 emissions.

Bike city

Do as the Copenhageners. Get around on a bike. 37 percent of the commuters going to work or school in Copenhagen take their bicycle. For Copenhageners the number is 55 percent. Choose between a bicycle taxi, a guided bike tour, rent your own bike or use one of the free city bikes.

Copenhagen was one of the first cities in the world to launch the city bikes. You will find it in one of the 110 bike racks around inner city.

Transport in Copenhagen

If you do not feel comfortable riding a bike, Copenhagen has a large transportation network of buses, trains and metro, which will take you anywhere in Copenhagen and the capital region in no time.

Although not CO2 neutral, they emit less CO2 per person riding them than cars and taxis.
