Hotels and places to stay in Denmark

FaceTraveler lists 118 places to stay in Denmark, all in the Capital Region and most in Copenhagen. If you are visiting Denmark for the first time, sleeping in the capital is the most practical choice: the airport is 8 km away and public transport reaches every district.

Where to stay in Denmark

Copenhagen. This is where almost all our places are. If you want to see the sights on foot, look in the centre or near Central Station, the city’s main railway station. Vesterbro, Nørrebro and Østerbro are residential districts that grew between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They suit you if you prefer a less touristy area and do not mind taking the metro or a bicycle into the centre.

Capital Region. The rest of our places are in other municipalities of the region, close to Copenhagen. They suit you if you are travelling by car or want to stay on the outskirts.

Getting around

Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) is on the island of Amager, 8 km south of the centre. It has a metro station (Lufthavnen) and a railway station beneath Terminal 3, on the Øresund line.

That same line crosses the Øresund Bridge, opened in 2000, which links Denmark and Sweden by road and rail. If you want to combine Copenhagen with Malmö, accommodation near Central Station or the airport makes it easy.

Within the city, the metro, buses and suburban trains (S-tog) form an integrated system with a single ticket. The bicycle is one of the favourite ways to get about for locals, so many streets have cycle lanes.

When to go

Winters are cold and short on daylight, with a January average just under 1 °C. In July, the warmest month, the average high is around 21 °C. Summer is the most comfortable time to cycle and spend time outdoors.
