Nationwide journey planning, new ticket apps and honest taxi guidance
Denmark uses Danish kroner, not euros, and ordinary visitors do not need MobilePay.
Pay with an international Visa or Mastercard, carry a second physical card from another network and keep a little DKK cash for markets, small vendors or a payment outage. The physical Rejsekort stopped working after June 29, 2026, so older travel advice is obsolete. Rejseplanen is the nationwide journey planner. Buy fixed tickets and City Pass products in Rejsebillet, use DSB for intercity rail and discounted Orange tickets, or choose the Rejsekort or DSB check-in feature for pay-as-you-go travel.
Each check-in option needs a charged phone, location permissions and an active journey before boarding. Uber and Bolt dispatch regulated licensed taxis rather than private-driver rides. They are expensive compared with excellent public transport, and Bolt officially lists only Copenhagen and Aarhus. Wolt is the established food-delivery choice; Uber Eats launched in Denmark in April 2026 and is useful only where the entered address is served.
Copenhagen cycling is fast but its lanes are commuter infrastructure, so rent a bike only if you can signal, keep right and ride predictably. Call 112 for an emergency. Denmark's S!RENEN warnings arrive automatically on compatible phones without an app.
