Copenhagen, Denmark has a lot to offer so we decided to explore it in two days. Sights, attractions and museums all charge entrance fees which can add up quickly. There are student discount prices so with and ISIC or the youth card it will save you some money. Since we had a few days we decided to get the Copenhagen city card (http://www.copenhagencard.com).Many major cities offer these and they often include free transportation.
Here is how we took advantage of the card: The comparison site shows how quickly the card will save you moneyhttp://www.copenhagencard.com/#calculation-widget-form-container Card price: $100 x 2 for a 48 hour card this includes transportation by bus, metro and train for the greater Copenhagen area (so also outside the capital). If you buy a 24 hr transportation pass it will cost $25 so half the card is transportation costs. It paid off on the first day for us. With our list of attractions we only paid $50 a day each. Here is a comparison based on our usage: Card price for two: $200 Cost without card: $411 Savings: $211 (based on adult prices) If you plan on seeing sights and visiting places it's well worth it. Unfortunately the only train or bus that wasn't covered was the one to Malmo, Sweden. However the bus ride is only 45 mins one way and cost us a total of $33 for two people return trip from the airport. http://m.nettbuss.se/m/sok-resa. The bridge toll alone for a vehicle is like $60. The train was quite a bit more and you do not get the view. We did have a chance to go north by train for an hour to Helsingor which was included in the card as well. The card is a great way to see as much as possible and it allows one to take the train as many times as you want. Without the card we would not have gone to all these places. A great deal!
