Transport in Copenhagen - Denmark World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Copenhagen - Denmark Travel guide http://bit.ly/1bsslBD Public transport: There is an integrated bus and urban train network in Copenhagen, known as S-tog. Buses and trains run daily 0500-0030 and there are additional night buses from City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) to the suburbs. There is a year-round, harbour bus service (buses 901 and 902) connecting the Royal Library on Christians Brygge with Nordre Toldbod, with stops along the waterfront, offering four departures per hour. Copenhagen's Metro runs from 0500-2400 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday and all night between Thursday and Saturday. The Metro connects 22 stations, and is still expanding. Fares for the Metro, buses and trains are calculated on a zone structure indicated on coloured maps at stations and bus stops. Ticket prices depend on the number of zones travelled and are available from the bus driver, at ticket offices or vending machines at stations and at the bus terminus at City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen). Ticket tariffs are doubled between 0100 and 0500. Discount cards (klippekort) are available for 10 journeys offering savings of 40%, and 24-hour tickets are available at stations, the bus terminus or tourist information office. The Copenhagen Card entitles the holder to free, unlimited travel on buses and trains in the metropolitan area, as well as discounts on car hire and selected tours. Taxis: Major taxi companies in the city include Taxa 4 x 35 (tel: 3535 3535 ), DanTaxi (tel: 7025 2525) and Hovedstadens Taxi (tel: 3877 7777). All taxis can be booked by telephone or hailed in the street. If you want to pay by credit card, inform the driver at the start of your journey. It is not customary to tip the driver (a service charge is included in the fare), but to round up the final amount instead. There are also cheaper cycle taxis, including rickshaws from Copenhagen Rickshaw (tel: 3543 0122). Cycle taxis can be ordered by telephone, hailed in the street or found at dedicated ranks in the centre, such as Tivoli and City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen). Driving: Copenhagen is refreshingly free of traffic; many residents prefer to cycle, walk or rollerblade. Parking meters are in operation in the Old City contained within parking zones: the Red Zone (the most expensive), the Green Zone and the Blue Zone (the cheapest). Tickets are available from coin-operated parking meters, which are colour coded to indicate the zone. Multi-storey car parks in the city are open 0600/0800-2000/0000. Some are closed Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Car hire: To hire a car in Copenhagen, drivers must be over 21, hold a valid driving licence and an international credit card. Individual car companies may impose their own age restrictions. Main operators in Copenhagen include Avis Hertz and Europcar . Copenhagen Limousine Service offers luxury car hire. Bicycle hire: There are cycle routes throughout Copenhagen. Between April and September, the city provides free bicycles to get around. There are 110 City Bike Parks , where deposits are paid for collection and refunded upon return. ==================================== Copenhagen Museums, Copenhagen Transport, Copenhagen Tours, Copenhagen Introduction, Copenhagen Attractions, Copenhagen Hotels, Copenhagen Restaurants, Copenhagen Shopping, Copenhagen Nightlife, world travel video, Copenhagen video, Copenhagen, Copenhagen Travel guide, Copenhagen Tourism, Copenhagen vacation, Europe, Denmark, Denmark Tourism, Denmark Travel guide , Denmark Vacation == Copenhagen - Denmark Travel guide, vacation, Tourism, Attractions
