swissmiss2010 Posted April 16, 2011 #2776 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello. I am hoping to visit the Carlsberg Brewery. Is it possible to get there from Langeline Pier without walking. If I remember correctly the number 26 bus leaves from the pier and takes us into Town. Is it possible to walk from there? Would be grateful for any hints/tips. many thanks.

Danish viking Posted April 16, 2011 #2777 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Bus number 26 (direction Ålholm Plads) will get you all the way to Carlsberg, use the bus stop at Kammasvej. http://www.visitcarlsberg.dk/Pages/front.aspx But remember that when you get back to Langelinie pier you should take the bus that are heading to Langelinie (the cruise ships) and not Færgehavn Nord.

cirman52 Posted April 17, 2011 #2778 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Danish Viking, I need your help again. We would like to see a circus on this trip, but there won't be any performances in St. Petersburg or Riga the days/ nites we visit. We will be in Copenhagen for 2 nights after our cruise, 17th & 18th of may 2011. Do you know of any circus in town at that time? Thanks, ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 17, 2011 #2779 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have checked all the websides for cirkus Baldoni, Arena and Benneweis and they all seems to be at the other end of the country at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the bus stop at Kammasvej have a sign so that we know we have arrived there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsy-girl Posted April 19, 2011 #2781 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I went back and read about 6 pages and didn't see anything about holiday schedules for Museums,.... so I'm sorry if this has all ready been covered. Is May 20th a Holiday in Denmark? And will this cause closures of Museums, attractions, shops and restaurants? Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 19, 2011 #2782 Share Posted April 19, 2011 @ swissmiss2010 ´ Some busses show the next stop but not on all lines but if its not the case just ask the driver to tell when its Kammasvej (Kammas road) or Carlsberg. @ artsy-girl Its Store Bededag thats translated literally as Great Prayer Day or more loosely as General Prayer Day, "All Prayers" Day, Great Day of Prayers or Common Prayer Day. I´m just overlooking various museum´s website and no one seems to be closed on that date. But tell me which museums you want to visit and i can look it up.

I checked a lot of websites also, and didn't see any places that advertised they were closed for Prayer Day. I was hoping it was like Presidents Day here, and only the school children get to benefit from a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth Cruiser Posted April 20, 2011 #2786 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm sorry if this has been covered before. We will be docking at Port Quay C190. Is there a place that is close by where we can purchase the Copenhagen Card or should I just pre order the card and have it sent to me. Many thanks for your help.

Danish viking Posted April 20, 2011 #2787 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The nearest place to buy the card is at Østerport station located 10 minutes away on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieInNewJersey Posted April 20, 2011 #2788 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Danish Viking, Can you recomend some private transportion companies to arrange a van from the ship to the airport. If I got 14-16 people will that be a lot less expensive than a cab ride to the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRam Posted April 21, 2011 #2789 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Danish Viking - We are a group of 10 (5 couples) arriving in Copenhagen on July 7th and getting on NCL's Sun for the Baltics Cruise on July 10th. This is first visit to Copenhagen for all members of the group. Can you give us some recommendations on medium priced places to stay, places to see in the 2 days we have before the cruise, and transportation in Copenhagen. Thank you in advance.

ConnieInNewJersey Posted April 21, 2011 #2792 Share Posted April 21, 2011 @ mrspaper All taxis take credit cards but show them to the driver before departure. The price from the freeport terminal to the airport is around 250-300 DKK. If you want to save some money you can purchase a 2 zone clipcard for 140 DKK for all 4 persons. Can I arrange for a taxi ahead of time to pick us up at the pier and take us to airport ? Is that more money? I am sure there are many taxis waiting at the port but with 3000 people debarking I am wondering if it will be a long wait to get the taxi.

Danish viking Posted April 21, 2011 #2793 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Normally there are aprox 50.000 passengers at the airport so a few more will not be a problem. But remember that the taxi driver will charge you more if you prebook the taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelrac Posted April 22, 2011 #2794 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just want to thank you for your information. I have read typical tourist books on the area and not one mentioned the "no American credit cards"! Very important to know! We used the site airbnb.com to book rooms in private homes. Much more affordable than hotels and we like to converse with locals. Do you know if the 10 clip cards, which I understand can be used between people, is for multi-days unlike the 24 hr cards? WE are taking day trips to Hillerod and Koge on separate days and would like to know the best way to handle the transit situation. Any help is appreciated!

Girl_from_Ipanema Posted April 22, 2011 #2795 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi! I'm a fellow American expat, but I live in Jutland. I'm taking a train from Vejle to Central Station, my ship leaves from Freeport. Is is a short walk from Central Station or am I better off taking a bus or a local train? If so, which one? Sorry if this has been answered. I tried doing a search and mostly found Central Station to airport discussions. Tak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 22, 2011 #2796 Share Posted April 22, 2011 @ kelrac You can purchase 10 clip card from 2 to a total of 9 (all) zones. The number of fare zones to both Hillerød and Køge is both 9 zones and one clip is valid for 2 hours. If you are 2 persons you can purchase a 6 zone clip card and stamp it 3 times on the way to Hillerød, 3 times back to Copenhagen. To Køge you stamp 3 times on the way to Køge. But now you only got 1 stamp/clip back and you will stamp that and purchase a 6 zone single ticket at the ticket machine or at the 7-Eleven at Køge station. A 6 zone clip/stamping card with 10 clips cost 335 DDK and a 6 zone single ticket cost 72 DDK. 4 24 hour tickets will cost 520 DKK. @ Girl_from_Ipanema Are you traveling on a weekend or from monday to friday. If its a weekend you can´t use bus number 26 but then you take a northbound S-train from track 9 and 10 and get of at Nordhavn Station. From here you can walk to the freeport terminal. If it is from monday to friday you can take Bus number 26 from the central station from the stop at Vesterbrogade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 22, 2011 #2797 Share Posted April 22, 2011 @ Kelrac I forgot to say that that i live in the northern parts of Køge so i am happy to see that you will take some time to visit my wonderful hometown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lton Posted April 23, 2011 #2798 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We're 2 adults with a 15 years old youth. What is the best train ticket combination that we need to buy from airport to central station? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 24, 2011 #2799 Share Posted April 24, 2011 If your not planning on using public transportation while you are in Copenhagen i would purchase two 3 zone single tickets and one 3 zone children single ticket. I cant remember the prices but i can look it up when i get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted April 24, 2011 #2800 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The prices are 36 dkk and 18 dkk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
