Getting Around in Copenhagen
The fastest and most flexible way to see Copenhagen is on a bike. Almost half of Copenhageners use their bike on a daily basis, and the city has been designed to accommodate cyclists. If biking isn’t much your speed, there is always the option of Public Transport. The Copenhagen Metro runs from Vanløse through the city centre, and branches to either the new-town of Ørestad, or to the airport. Copenhagen also has a very efficient bus network.
