Copenhagen Card 24 to 120 hours: what one day costs
The Copenhagen Card costs DKK 589 for 24 hours and DKK 1,419 for 120 hours. We break every option down to a daily price, deduct public transport and show why the fifth day costs more than the third and fourth.
Price per day for each option
| Option | Price | Per day | Per day in euros | Surcharge over the shorter option |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | DKK 589 | DKK 589 | €78.81 | n/a |
| 48 hours | DKK 859 | DKK 429.50 | €57.47 | DKK 270 |
| 72 hours | DKK 1,039 | DKK 346.33 | €46.34 | DKK 180 |
| 96 hours | DKK 1,219 | DKK 304.75 | €40.78 | DKK 180 |
| 120 hours | DKK 1,419 | DKK 283.80 | €37.97 | DKK 200 |
The validity counts in real hours from activation in the app, not in calendar days. We convert to euros with the reference rate of the European Central Bank of 30 Oct 2026: €1 equals DKK 7.4735. If Tiqets shows you a euro price, it can differ by a few cents.
What is left after deducting public transport
Bus, train and metro are included in the card. Without the card, the City Pass Small (zones 1 to 4) covers trips in the city including the airport. If you deduct its price, what remains is the amount your admissions have to bring in. For our 23 attractions the median admission price is DKK 140. This is how many admissions at that price you need:
| Option | City Pass Small | For admissions | Per day | Admissions at DKK 140 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | DKK 100 | DKK 489 | DKK 489 | 4 |
| 48 hours | DKK 160 | DKK 699 | DKK 349.50 | 5 |
| 72 hours | DKK 220 | DKK 819 | DKK 273 | 6 |
| 96 hours | DKK 280 | DKK 939 | DKK 234.75 | 7 |
| 120 hours | DKK 340 | DKK 1,079 | DKK 215.80 | 8 |
From 72 hours on, two admissions a day or fewer are enough on average. With 24 hours it takes four, which is a full programme. Our admission prices range from DKK 70 (tower of the Church of Our Saviour) to DKK 260 (Copenhagen Zoo). What each attraction costs is shown in the list of Copenhagen Card attractions.
What each extra day has to bring in
An extra day pays off if your admissions on that day cost more than the surcharge for the card. The public transport part has to be deducted, because the City Pass Small gets DKK 60 more expensive per day.
- Day 2: DKK 270 surcharge, so DKK 210 in admissions
- Day 3: DKK 180 surcharge, so DKK 120 in admissions
- Day 4: DKK 180 surcharge, so DKK 120 in admissions
- Day 5: DKK 200 surcharge, so DKK 140 in admissions
On days 3 and 4, a single admission at the median price is therefore enough. On day 5 it exactly covers the surcharge, for example Rosenborg Castle at DKK 140. On day 2 you usually need two admissions. On their own, only the Planetarium (DKK 210, exactly covered), Experimentarium, Home of Carlsberg or the zoo are enough.
When the shorter card is cheaper
If nothing is planned for one day, you pay the surcharge for nothing. If you stay four days and visit museums on only three of them, the 72-hour card and a City Pass Small for 24 hours together cost DKK 1,139. The 96-hour card costs DKK 1,219. The shorter combination is DKK 80 cheaper.
The Kids card per day
For children aged 3 to 11, the Kids card costs DKK 100, 140, 180, 220 and 260. After the first day, that is DKK 40 more per day. At 120 hours it comes to DKK 52 per day. On public transport, two children under 12 travel free with a paying adult anyway. In many places children pay nothing. When the Kids card pays off all the same is explained in Copenhagen with children.
