Nice and perfect central station since I'm taking train from Malmo to Copenhagen central. Old…read morebuilding but functional and small comparing to other stations, but 2nd busiest in Denmark. Easy to navigate with directions signs and shops in the main terminal.

The central train station in Copenhagen, it is marked as Kobenhavn H on most maps and is situated…read moreunderground with the newest M3 line platforms being 62 feet down. I intentionally planned my 2 days in Denmark around this area, with my hotel and the sites I wanted to visit within walking distance. The current station building opened in 1911, with a major overhaul in 1980 including elevators, escalators and a new station concourse. It has 7 platforms and 13 tracks, making it the largest train station in Denmark. With 100,000 travelers per day, it is the second busiest in the country. Getting to it from the airport required taking the M2 line, transferring at Kongens Nytorv to the either the M3 or M4 line to get here. The journey took a little over 30 minutes, and the trains were relatively crowded on both the inbound and outbound. The cost was (30,00 DKK - $4.69 USD converted) for the one way. There are no gates of any sort, and I didn't see any security doing ticket checks. Read on-line that fines could be substantial. Since the trains to the airport run so frequently, didn't have a chance to admire/partake of the station. On my next longer visit, will linger a bit more.

Bella Center Station was built in 2002 and is a rapid transit station on the Copenhagen Metro. The…read morestation as well as the Metro systems itself in Copenhagen are built on platforms. There are stairs and elevators too take you too the top. Tickets can be purchases via vending machines on the platform ubove. This particular location had no seating . Metro comes every 10 minutes so you won't have too wait very long. Bella Center Station is on Metro Line M1 and in zone 3 which runs from Vanlose to Vestamager. It's location is centrally located near Cowell Convention Center, AC Hotel Bella Sky, and minutes away (on metro) to the city center, & "Fields Shopping Center" which is Scandinavia largest shopping center.

You feel you have your own metro that takes you to your hotel and back out into the city. In the 6 days I was in Copenhagen, there were probably 1-3 people at the stop whenever I took it into downtown which is about 3 metro stops. Two metro stops past the AC Bella Hotel in the other direction is a huge shopping gallery where you can buy anything from is (Danish for ice cream or the pastry) to nuts. Visits: Many. Tip: You can buy, daily or weekly metro passes at CPH right after you pick up luggage on your right and before you get to the train stations into the city. Each station has automated ticketrons.

For some reason in Copenhagen, suspicious people like to hang out at this train station and I saw…read moreat least one pick pocket in action on the Metro platform. You can tell the suspicious people they are the ones that are just "hanging out" looking like they have no where to go, or just walking un circles looking at you and everyone else and are not self directed toward their transportation or just following other people until they are noticed and they break off. I had to use this confusing station to get back to my hotel a few times but until I was on the train my anxiety level was up. Once on the train there were numerous security agents. Wish they had a law in Copenhagen that you can not loiter at or near train stations, you must always be directing yourself toward your transportation would make it a safer place. What is it about train stations in Europe that attracts suspicious people? PS. If you are from the US with a US credit card the ticket machines only take debit and coins for tickets. US credit cards require a signature and ID check and machines reject them.

I love the metro in København and Nørreport is one reason why. The station is super easy to…read morenavigate. It is completely handicapped accessible. There is very good signage in both English and Danish. And because it's in "downtown" København, the trains run often. Nørreport is not just S-train, but also serves the metro and main lines. It is actually the busiest railway station in all of Denmark. Even more so than the Central station. From here, you can catch the M1 and M2 of the metro, most of the S trains and even regional trains to Zealand and Sweden. There is a ton of bicycle parking at street level and yes, bicycles are allowed on the trains here (just not during rush hours). Nørreport is between Vesterport and Østerport stations. It is in Fare zone 1. There are bus connections at street level, too.

I am always impressed with the Metro in Europe. In fact, I believe when I visited Amsterdam many…read moreyears ago, they had plasma screens announcing track and time info. The Metros run smarter, efficient and the subways are spotless! The majority of stations I visited all had elevator access and escalators. ( New York, are you there?) Here are some highlights: 1. Easy to use, 4 lines M1.M2.M3.M4 2. Inspectors/DSB on train asking you for your ticket to prevent fare invasion 3. Public restrooms clean and maintained. Some are free, some you pay which makes sense. Citizens who want a restroom, imo, contribute to keep it sparkling 4. Rules: Copenhagen is a bike city, thus, there are train rules; no bikes on train between 7am-9am. If you ride with bike there are bike cars and you buy a bike metro ticket ( New York, still there) 5. Ticket machines where you can buy different fare options and kiosks to check in 6. Korbenhaven H or aka Central station; so commuter friendly! All I can say is tak ( thank you) to Copenhagen for making my trip so easy to get around!

Very impressed with this Metro system and daresay it might be one of the best in the world. I've…read morealso used public transit in Tokyo, Taipei, Berlin & Brussels and those were great too. The British Tube, NYC subways and BART/MUNI have a lot to aspire to when it comes to Metro systems. The Danes know how to get it done right. The Metro here runs on time, and no drivers for the trains, which is pretty neat. Every station has digitized schedules so you know when the trains are running. And they are on time. You can either buy one trip tickets or look at options for 12 hours or longer. And you can also get a City Pass which gives you access to the metro and buses up to 120 hours. Just check on the DSB website for your needs and the system is self explanatory. What I love about Denmark is that while everyone usually speaks Danish, there is always an English option. Every single website I went to related to my Denmark travels had an English option. That's pretty amazing. The one important thing to note is that while you can't really scan your passes to get into the metro, don't be fooled to think that DSB authorities are not checking fares. I traveled to the airport a few times and a few times, attendants were strictly checking fare. In fact, my train ride for the last time to CPH airport, my fare was checked twice. I read some other reviews written here and if you don't have proper fare, you will get a fine for hundreds in DKKs, so totally not worth taking a risk at all. The trains are very clean, well run, stations also clean and signage/schedule are all easily understandable. This is the gold standard when it comes to Metro systems.

Beautiful museum and it's free too. The collection and exhibits are quite amazingly mesmerizing…read moreand it taken from varies period in time. There is a beautiful garden in the middle of the beautiful, heavily peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of exhibits to see and leans and it's not a small museum either, it big inside so a lot of walking for sure so wear comfortable shoe when visit. Staff are everywhere and they are friendly and helpful when needed. There is a locker room on the lower level and quite big too. Just try to go light or empty handed to avoid checkin and time.

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

This mainline and S-train station is located north of the main København city core. I was here…read morebecause it was the closest station to the famed Mermaid statue though I still ended up walking a good bit. I really should have just rented one of those dockless bikes, but that's neither here nor there. The station has decent signage and with the Google Maps app, I was able to work out how to get to where I needed to go. The return back to downtown and the Central station was easy enough, though this is a decently large station with 5 separate platforms and 8 tracks. It is handicapped accessible. There are ticketing kiosks and plenty of places to wave your contactless card in order to check-in and check-out. On the S-train lines, this station is between Nørreport and Nordhavn.

I'm going to post this review under Østerport Station because it exemplifies the problems we had…read morewith DOT -- the Danish Public Transport System. First let me say that between trains, commuter trains (S-tog), Metro and buses, Copenhagen has a system that would be the envy of any city in the US. My complaint is the lack of information about which train to take from which track. We -- and a bunch of other tourists trying to get Humlebæk to visit the Louisiana Museum of Art -- must have spent 30 minutes at Østerport trying to figure out which s-tog to take to Hellerup to get the "train-bus" to Humlebæk. Real people with real information were few and far between. We had the DOT app, but as for which train on which track, forget it. We looked for someone at Østerport Station who might be an employee of DOT, but to no avail. I finally called the help number, went through the option tree and got a real person who told me which train to catch. Now I contrast this with Stockholm where the train stations had young people wearing yellow vests directing people from train to subway to the correct transport on the correct track. Dear DOT, I'm sure that people who use the system daily know how to get around the system. But visitors like me were simply confounded.
