Tickets & prices
No ticket, no trip! Buying a ticket is the first step before using any public transport in Copenhagen. If you don’t have a valid ticket to show a conductor, you will likely be fined. Here’s everything you need to know about tickets and prices.
What kind of ticket should I buy?
The type of ticket you should choose to buy and its price depends on several things. One thing you should consider is how much you will be using the public transport. For example, if you're only using the metro once, you can choose a single ticket, whereas you'll save money by choosing a multi-day ticket, such as a City Pass or even a Copenhagen Card, which gives you free access to all public transport and many more attractions. The price and validity of a ticket depends exclusively on the zones that the city is divided into. Read more about types of tickets and zones at the Official Public Transport website.
How and where can I buy a ticket?
Once you know which type of ticket to choose, the next step is to buy it. Here’s an overview of the easiest ways to buy a ticket. Remember that when you buy a metro ticket, it also serves as a bus or harbour bus ticket, and vice versa. This makes it easy to combine and switch between several modes of transport during your journey.
On your mobile
The easiest way to buy a ticket is on your phone. On both the Rejsekort app and DSB app for iPhone and Android, you can easily buy your ticket or use the check-in feature. In the Rejsebillet app, you can find pre-paid tickets, including City Pass.
Physical ticket
If you want to buy a physical ticket, you can purchase single tickets and city passes (Small and Large) at the ticket machines on the metro and train platforms or at the 7/11 kiosks near the stations.
