You can fly into Copenhagen on scheduled flights from points all over Europe and from the US, South America, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Copenhagen International Airport is conveniently located in Kastrup, 9km southeast of the city centre. Charter flights cover many sunnier destinations (such as the Canary Islands, where Danes flock to escape winter.)
There are daily ferries between Oslo and Copenhagen, and Bornholm and Copenhagen, which leave from Kvæsthusbroen, north of Nyhavn.
Buses and trains connect Copenhagen to the rest of Denmark and mainland Europe, while making your own way over the magnificent and relatively new bridge from Malmö, Sweden, will set you back a couple of hundred kroner.
Copenhagen doesn't have the traffic snarls of many European cities, and it's quite flat, so it's eminently suited to walking and biking.
The city's extensive public transport system comprises a rail network called S-train, with 10 lines passing through Central Station, and a bus system called HT (or Hovedstadsområdets Trafikselskab, for those who like tongue-twisters) that uses Rådhuspladsen as its main terminal. Fares for both are charged according to a zone system, with a variety of single, multiple-ride or daily tickets available.
There's also the one- to three-day Copenhagen Card, which entitles you to free and unlimited travel by bus and rail, discounts on crossings to and from Sweden, and free admission to sights around the city. Get one of these from most tourist offices and at the airport.
