How to get to Copenhagen.
- Copenhagen Airport → Copenhagen Central Station, 15 – 20 minutes.
- In the arrival hall you walk straight on. After 50 meters you have a train-office on the right side. You buy a ticket to Copenhagen (4 zones – value 1½ hour). ¹)
- You take the 2. escalator to the trains - down to platform 2. I suppose, the ticket is already stamped.
- Take the first train (most of the trains come from Malmö), they all go to Copenhagen. Only: some of them need place-tickets – take the next one – they are going each 20 minutes.
- At the platform in Copenhagen Central Station you walk straight forward to the escalator.
- If you want to have your suitcase guarded, you turn left and go to the end of the hall and down the stairs. At the left side there is an office for luggage.
- If you want to change money now, there is Forex in each end of the hall. There are also others. And you can also find cash-boxes.
