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.

Vesterport station is probably something what you call lacking the will to live, had it been a…read moreliving thing. Located not far from the Central station, this station seems redundant at first, but of course it caters mostly people who want to go to the cinema, perhaps - considering the candy-coloured Palads and the big Imperial are all within walking distance from this place. It's a simple two-track station that only serves (all) S-tog line. There's the obligatory 7-11 on the entrance level (upper level) for your basic needs, not that it's necessary to be there either since there are a lot of 7-11 nearby, one across the street as a matter of fact. Some people like Vesterport rather than change trains / connections at the station as central station as they don't have to navigate through the throng of people at the central.

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.

Took DFDS Seaways (I think they are called Go Nordic Cruise line, now) for our transit to Oslo, and…read moreit was a lot more fun than expected. The ferry felt more like a mini cruise, with bars, restaurants, a duty-free shop, and even live music onboard. We grabbed a drink and hung out on deck, and it made the trip feel like part of the vacation. Cabins are basic but clean. Don't expect luxury, but it's comfortable enough for a night's rest. The boarding and check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly throughout. If you're traveling between Norway and Denmark, this is a scenic, relaxed alternative to flying. Bonus points for the Fjord views and the relaxed onboard vibe.

Not a luxury service in any way, and the cabins could use some maintenance (even a staff member could barely open the door to ours and had to call for assistance), but it's a decent way to move from Copenhagen to Oslo.
