Ground transportation
The airport is served by metro, regional trains, buses, taxis and car rental services. Metro Line M2 provides access to central Copenhagen, while trains connect the airport with Copenhagen Central Station, other Danish cities and destinations in southern Sweden, including Malmö.
The airport also has a separate taxi rank for journeys to Sweden, which is useful for passengers traveling to Malmö and other destinations across the Øresund.
Taxis generally accept card payments, and some companies apply an airport pickup surcharge.
Metro M2: the station is located at the end of T3. The line connects the airport with central Copenhagen and stations such as Nørreport, with a journey time of approximately 15 minutes. The metro operates 24 hours a day, typically running every 4 to 6 minutes during the day and every 15 to 20 minutes at night.
Trains: the railway station is integrated into the T3 area and provides connections to Copenhagen Central Station (København H), other Danish cities and destinations in southern Sweden. Trains to Malmö cross the Øresund, allowing passengers to travel directly from the airport to Sweden.
Platforms 1 and 2 are located near T3, while Platforms 11 and 12 are on the opposite side of Ellehammersvej. Tickets must be purchased before boarding, using the available ticket machines, apps or sales points.
Buses: routes 5C, 35 and 36 stop outside T3 on Ellehammersvej. Route 5C connects the airport with central Copenhagen, while the other routes serve different parts of the metropolitan area.
For journeys to the city center, the metro is generally one of the fastest options. Trains are particularly useful for travel to København H, Malmö and other regional destinations.
The centre is reached by a free airport shuttle bus operating 24 hours a day. Stops are located at T2, opposite parking facility P4, and at T3, opposite P7 near the metro entrance. The bus also serves more distant parking areas.
A digital car rental option is also available at parking facility P7a, Level 1, Area E, within walking distance of T3. Vehicles can be collected using an app without visiting a conventional rental counter.

Terminals T2 and T3 are connected by indoor pedestrian walkways, so passengers do not need a vehicle to travel between their main areas.
The airport also operates a free shuttle bus connecting the terminals with the Car Rental Centre and parking facilities P15, P17 and P19. This service is primarily intended for travel to facilities located away from the main terminal complex.
