DSB City Pass

Getting a DSB City Pass is the best option if you are likely to use public transport (bus and metro) more than three times a day – and if you’ve got a lot planned, you definitely will! The City Pass will save lots of money and hassle with ticket buying, which makes your trip much less stressful! It can be bought online in advance, on the app or at the airport’s train station. There are a few options to chose from when selecting the right pass for you. There are two options to begin with, ‘small pass’ OR ‘large pass’. The small pass covers pretty much all of Copenhagen and you are unlikely go need the large pass, but check that your hotel and destinations are within the small pass map before purchasing. Then, you must select the amount of hours you’d like the pass to last. You can choose from 24hrs, 48hrs, 72hrs 96hrs or 120hrs. Remember that the pass is activated as soon as you purchase, and that you need to carefully think about how much time you need it for, including your return to the airport. This ticket is not only valid in the city, but also to and from the airport! Head to their website to get more info or book your pass!
