Getting from the Airport
Train
The train is only 3 stops away from Copenhagen Central Station
If you want to reach Copenhagen Central Station quickly from CPH Airport, then taking the train is by far your best option.
The entrance to the train station is located near the end of Terminal 3. From the arrivals exit of Terminal 3, walk straight across the terminal. At the end of the terminal, follow the signs towards Track 2 for Copenhagen Central Station, Nørreport, Østerport, Helsingør, Fyn and Jylland.
Take the moving walkway down towards the train tracks where you can board the next train. You do not need to validate your ticket or pass through any gate, just make sure you have your ticket in hand in case any employees or officers ask.
During the day the train runs every 10 minutes while at night it runs about 1 to 3 times per hour. It takes about 13 minutes to reach Copenhagen Central Station from CPH Airport.
Tickets for the train can be purchased at machines in the baggage claim area or machines near the DSB ticket sales counter inside Terminal 3. These machines only accept coins, some credit cards, and most debit cards with PIN. You may also purchase tickets at the DSB ticket sales counter inside Terminal 3.
