Arriving by plane
If you arrive by plane, you arrive in Copenhagen International Airport Kastrup, which is located 8 kilometres south of the city centre on the island of Amager. You can get from the airport to the city by train, metro, bus or taxi. The train ride from the airport to the Copenhagen Cetral Stiatio (Hovedbanegården) takes about 15 minutes. Before getting on the train or metro, you need to purchase a ticket at the ticket stand (DSB) located in the airport terminal or from one of the ticket vending machines located at the metro station.
From the Central Station you may decide to continue on the train or get a bus or taxi depending on where you are going to stay. If you are going to live in the southern part of Copenhagen (area code 2300) it may be more convenient to get a bus from the airport or use the metro, as you do not need to get all the way to the city centre. Bus number 250S runs from the airport.
A taxi fare from the airport to the city centre costs around DKK 200. Note that in taxis in Denmark, the metre will start at a certain fixed rate and run as you drive. It is usually not possible to negotiate with the driver regarding the prize of the fare.
Arriving by train
Copenhagen has three large train stations and a number of smaller stations. Copenhagen Central Station (Hovedbanegården) is located in the western part of the city centre.

From either of the stations it is easy to get to your destination by public transport or taxi. Busses are available from all three stations and the metro is available from Nørreport. Tickets for the Metro and S-trains are purchased on the platform or in the train terminal, while bus tickets can be purchased on the bus. You use the same ticket for both busses, metro and trains.
