Best Time to Book a Flight to Copenhagen

Copenhagen draws the biggest crowds in July and August. The weather is at its peak and the locals respond with festivals, concerts and other outdoor events. Hotels and airfares tend to be more expensive during this peak season. Visit in May, early June or September and you'll still find plenty of events and lovely weather, at a cheaper rate. In either case, flying mid-week is usually less expensive. No matter your travel date, let Skyscanner help you find the best deal.

Airlines That Fly from Calgary to Copenhagen

Air Canada, Lufthansa and KLM are just some of the airlines flying from Calgary International to Copenhagen Airport. All flights have at least one-stop. Some of the best routes are on Condor, which code shares with SAS and Lufthansa. A code share is when you buy a ticket on one airline but one or more of the segments is flown on a partner airline. Condor is non-stop to Frankfurt, Germany (FRA) and then you have a change of planes to Copenhagen. Air Canada flies a similar route with the same code share set up. International departures usually use the "D" gates at Calgary International Airport.

What to Expect When Arriving in Copenhagen

International flights into Copenhagen Airport arrive at Terminals 2 or 3, each with their respective customs and immigration checkpoints. Car rental service desks are available near baggage claim. Other transportation options include:

•
• Metro trains are located above Terminal 3 and lead from the airport to Norreport Station in Copenhagen's city centre. It's about a 13-minute ride on this service that runs 24/7. Tickets are sold at the DSB ticket counter in the terminal or through machines at the station. The latter accepts coins and credit cards but no paper money.
•
• Terminal 3 is also home to the train service that takes you to Copenhagen Central Station. Service doesn't run as frequently during the night hours as the metro but it still takes about 13 minutes to get to downtown. Ticket purchasing options are the same.
•
• Taxis have their own stands outside of each terminal and can get you to town in about 20 minutes, traffic permitting. The cost to downtown is roughly 250 to 300 DKK. The official currency is the Kroner (DKK) but some vendors will take Euros.

Airport Facilities

The terminals at Copenhagen Airport are smoke-free. Individual vendors, such as firms running on-site lounges, travel agencies and meeting areas may designate smoking areas but otherwise, don't light up until you get outside. Within each terminal, you'll find boutique shops (some of them well-known name brands), Duty-Free outlets, currency exchange counters and ATMs. When it's time to go back home, remember to stop at the VAT desk to get your Value Added Tax refund. Tourists and business travellers are exempt from paying this tax, which is charged on most things you buy in Copenhagen. Just keep your receipts to turn it. They really are worth money.

What to Do and See in Copenhagen

Want to experience Copenhagen the way the locals do? Rent a bicycle. This two-wheeled, environmentally friendly mode of transportation is king in this fair city. Many streets are bike or pedestrian only, making it easy to get some exercise while sightseeing. Peddle over to the Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park with rides and entertainment for young and old. Take a tour of Kronborg Castle, the real setting of Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Watch the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace, the official residence of Denmark's royal family, then head over to the Stroget for some serious shopping.. Visit Nyhavn, the old harbour area, filled with buildings dating back to the 17th century, and home to Hans Christian Andersen.
