Denmark

Bike lanes, smørrebrød, and seamless transit apps

12 apps7 essentialEuropeLast updated: July 2026

Denmark is nearly cashless. Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere. MobilePay is ubiquitous among locals but requires a Danish bank account, so travelers should rely on Apple Pay or Google Pay instead. Cycling is the most practical way to explore Copenhagen.

Ride Hailing6 apps · 3 essential

View Ride Hailing guide→
Bolt app icon

BoltEssential

Popular ride-hailing app in Copenhagen with competitive pricing compared to traditional taxis.

Pro tip: Often cheaper than Dantaxi for short city rides. Check the fare estimate first.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Dantaxi app icon

DantaxiEssential

Licensed-taxi network covering Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense and municipalities across most of Denmark.

Pro tip: Compare its fixed quote with Uber because both may dispatch from the same licensed network. Dantaxi is usually the more useful app outside Copenhagen.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Uber app icon

UberEssential

Dispatches licensed Dantaxi vehicles in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense and much of Denmark, not private-driver cars.

Pro tip: The app quote is for a regulated licensed taxi. Compare it with Dantaxi before booking because the underlying supply can overlap.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Viggo app icon

Viggo

Electric licensed-taxi app serving Copenhagen and Aarhus, with airport and prebooked rides.

Pro tip: Viggo can be cheaper when its fixed quote avoids traffic risk, but its fleet is smaller than Dantaxi's and waits can be longer.

App StoreWebsite↗
TAXA 4x35 app icon

TAXA 4x35

Licensed Copenhagen taxi app serving Copenhagen, Frederiksberg and the surrounding capital area.

Pro tip: Use it as a Copenhagen price check. It can be cheaper than Uber or Dantaxi for a fixed local quote, but it is not a national app.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
DRIVR app icon

DRIVR

Licensed taxi booking in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense, with electric and hydrogen vehicles.

Pro tip: Check the fixed price before confirming. It is a useful urban backup but has less nationwide reach than Dantaxi.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗

Food Delivery2 apps · 1 essential

View Food Delivery guide→
Wolt app icon

WoltEssential

Denmark's main delivery app in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Esbjerg, Randers, Roskilde and Kolding.

Pro tip: Wolt+ costs DKK 59 per month as of mid-2026. It can pay off after several eligible orders, but service and small-order charges may remain.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Uber Eats app icon

Uber Eats

New restaurant-delivery service launched in Copenhagen in April 2026, with a smaller Danish footprint than Wolt.

Pro tip: Use it for a launch discount or a restaurant missing from Wolt. Confirm your address first because the rollout remains limited beyond Copenhagen as of July 2026.

Payments1 app

MobilePay app icon

MobilePay

Denmark's dominant mobile payment app used by over 4.4 million Danes for splitting bills and paying merchants.

View Transit guide→
Rejseplanen app icon

RejseplanenEssential

The go-to journey planner for all Danish public transport. Trains, buses, metro, and light rail. With real-time departures.
