If you plan on visiting many museums, either in Copenhagen or in nearby towns like Helsinger, Roskilde and Kege, consider purchasing a Copenhagen Card valid for transport on the entire metropolitan system (which includes the towns mentioned above) and giving entry to virtually every museum in the area. Obviously its worth will depend on your itinerary, but the direeday card (215kr), can certainly save money if well used. It's available fiom the tourist office, travel agents, hotels and most train stations in the metropolitan region. City transport The best way to see most of Copenhagen is simply to walk: the central city is compact and much of the inner area pedestrianised. There is, however, an integrated zonal network of buses and electric Strains {Stog) covering Copenhagen and the surrounding areas, which run about every ten to fifteen minutes between Sam and 12.30am, after which a Night Bus (Natbusseme) system comes into operation less frequent but still running every thirty to sixty minutes. You can use InterRail or Eurail cards on the Strains, but otherwise the best option is a blue Rabatkort (70kr), a ticket wth ten stamps that you cancel individually according to the length of your journey: one stamp gives unlimited transfers within one hour in one zone (ie around the centre), two stamps are good for ninety minutes and three stamps give two hours two or more people can use a Rabatkort simultaneously For a short single journey of less than an hour, use a Grundbillet (9kr), whichis valid for unlimited transfers within two zones in that time. Tickets can be bougtt on board buses or at train stations and should be stamped when boarding the bus or in the machines on station platforms. Except on buses, it's rare to be asked 1» show your ticket, but if you don't have one you face an instant fine of 150кг. Rot maps cost 5kr fiom stations, but most free maps of the city include bus lines да' diagram of the Strain network.
