    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.

    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.

    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.

    I love metro, I do - but I try to avoid getting out of Christianshavn metro st if not necessary…read more It's rather stupid because it's located near to many interesting places when it comes to restaurants and cafes, and also the beautiful scenery of Christianshanvn canals. If you want to go to Papirøen / Copenhagen Street food, it's also the place to get off, not to mention Noma and other fancy restaurants that might be located nearby. It's also an important station for people who want to change metro line since this is where the line is split between the airport and the vestamager line. But the station is dirty and there are always weird people around. Sorry to be so judging, but I don't feel safe with bunch of alcoholics wasting their days away just few steps from the station entrance. I wouldn't mind if they just keep to their own, but sometimes they get inside the station and start to harass passengers or just make a scene out of stuff. There were couple of times where these people (with a smell that could put Carlsberg brewery to shame) came in the metro car and started blocking the doors and then they threw a fit when the metro wouldn't run (the cars are automatic, if you block the doors, they won't run) - or they started arguing loudly between themselves. Sorry, I just don't like being around drunk people when they're not my friends :/ and I don't feel safe. So if you feel the same like I do, avoid this station at any cost, change the line at other stations if you must, especially after dark.

    I think I am cursed to have my workplace located in Herlev…read more Don't get me wrong, the kommune / municipality / town seems pleasant enough. Cute little shops lining Herlev Torv, the mini Strøget with ok-sized "mall" (the quote marks are very important here) called Herlev Bymidte, but the station - oh my. The station is not located anywhere near the town center for one. It's located in an odd deserted place surrounded by glassy office buildings and a warehouse Lidl supermarket and it's very bare equipped. You have to walk down the steps to go down the station and get up again to go to the platform. It does not make any sense. You can't even take the elevator to the platform level - I feel sorry for all the moms with their prams and old folks with their rollators, and the cyclists on the S-tog. Man, you make people's lives miserable in Herlev, DSB. Fortunately, I am neither of those, so I could still dutifully walk down the station and resurface to the platform. No biggie, but think of those who can't. ...and there's that odd little shop on platform level. Why not have the obligatory 7-eleven there instead? That case, people can get snacks and drinks without having to worry that they will miss the train. ...and whoever it was planned the bus / train schedule? It's a total FAIL. The buses always align at the station when the train is there, hence we can't catch the train and have to wait for the next one (unless you can fly over to the platform like some superheroes). Meh.
