Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is one of the most efficient in the world and was voted Best Airport in the World in 2002. Security is good, but tends to be relatively hassle-free, and it is easily accessible by car and high-speed trains. There are many nice shops within the airport, as well as facilities such as a post office, children’s play areas, tourist information, and restaurants. Terminal 1 is for domestic flights, and Terminals 2 and 3 handle all international traffic. The airport is only 8 km (5 miles) from the city centre and is easy to reach with public transport. Trains leave three times an hour from the airport, stopping at all major Copenhagen train stations, and there are also buses that take you to the city centre until midnight. A taxi to the city costs about 200 kr and the travel time is around 20 minutes. The website of Copenhagen airport is www.cph.dk.

Motorways in Denmark are indicated by the letter ‘E,’ followed by a number. The speed limits are 110 kph on motorways, 80 kph on main roads, and 50 kph in urban areas. The law requires drivers to keep their headlights switched on at all times, and all passengers must wear seatbelts. If you wish to rent a car in Denmark, you do not need to have an international driving permit, but Green Card insurance is recommended. The legal driving age is 18 years. The city of Copenhagen is not very full of traffic, and since things are close together, many prefer to bike, rollerblade or walk. There are parking meters throughout the city, and parking is usually restricted to one hour at a time.
