Tickets & prices
No ticket, no trip! A valid ticket is the first thing you need before using Copenhagen's public transport. If don't have a valid ticket to show a conductor, it will likely result in a fine. 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.
