We loved the Copenhagen card because we really went a lot of places. - We really saved money with the Copenhagen card. What is so cool is that almost all the museums and public transit is free during the time period you buy. We bought the 96 hour card and boy did we use it. Highly recommend because there were at several places that we would have not gone in because it was so expensive. Since we had the Copenhagen card, we went in at no charge and had a great time.

Worth the money - Bought the 96 hour Copenhagen Discovery card. So glad we did. We definitely got our moneys worth. We used it for the train from the airport to our hotel and then the metro on the way back. Used it for all the places we visited and it was very easy to use.

Worth it!! - The Copenhagen Card really pays off! We visited many museums with the map and made a great puzzle round through the city and used the transport. The included HoponHopoff tour was not so ours.

Easy to use, public transport well arranged. - Very worthwhile when visiting Copenhagen. Public transport was very nice. Did more now than we would have done with single tickets. We used the card for 4 days and took it out well. Recommended especially Rosenborg Castle, the zoo, Carlsberg brewery, the canal cruise, Tivoli (no admission to attractions included), museum or illusions. Further done: Christiansborg, Glyptoteket, National Museum, Botanical Garden, Ripleys believe it or not and Hans Christian Anderson exhibition, Lejre Land of Legends (hours by train and bus). Disadvantage: could only pay by credit card or paypal.

Worth it - You have to download the app and enter your reference number. Activate the cards on the day you want to use them and both cards appeared on the same phone. Occasionally it lost signal and wouldn't open the cards, so worth taking a screen shot (they say you can't, but it looks exactly the same). We activated ours at 9am and so were able to use it for the early morning train to the airport the next day. Some places you have to go to the ticket office and get timed entry, but most you can go straight in.

Recommend the Copenhagen Card - Copenhagen Card was good. Unfortunately, the 24 hour clock on card expiration runs during night time (when your sleeping) and after many venues close. I know it's obvious, but you really don't have 24 waking hours to use it - which necessitates careful planning as some attractions close early (we arrived via airport @ 3PM, 30 min metro to our hotel, checked in & activated the card at 7PM upon entering Tivoli - this gave us some daylight and ability to enjoy seeing the beautiful Tivoli lights at night - the next day, we had to plan carefully as to get on the waiting list/times for certain attractions). Perhaps something like a 30 hour ticket option would be more useful for those arriving mid-day (as most planes do) & staying over another day. Or, even better, a price based upon the end-time of your choosing (let's say whenever you activate the card until 9PM the next day, or any end time of you choose?). I don't mind paying a bit more for the extra hours but don't want to pay for a 48 hour ticket when I might only need 30 hours - just an idea. It was nice to try any included venue and not worry about the cost. Note: The "Stromma Canal Tour" leaving from Nyhvan is NOT included in the card. The Stromma departure by Christianborg Slot IS included in the card. Also, read up on the open times of the venues you want to see as some require you to show up and reserve a time slot for a few hours later - i.e. palaces, etc.). Also, many palaces, etc. close at 6PM & some may be closed on Mondays so make up your plan accordingly (you can use Google Maps to check walking times between sites or hopping on the Metro is faster too). Highly recommend the Christ Our Savior Church Spire which also requires getting an advance timeslot. Final note: If your Copenhagen Card times expires before your reserved time slot for a venue (regardless of when you reserved it), you are out of luck - make sure to get you venue reserved times within the active time of your Copenhagen Card. The Copenhagen Card website has a nice feature to favorite attractions and it shows you the savings - makes it pretty easy to justify the cost.

Useful but not sure if worth it. - Getting this voucher activated could only be done at the City Information centre. So I lost a day and couldn’t use at airport for train into city. $77 for taxi. Also under attractions had to get ticket elsewhere as canal ride wouldn’t accept. Otherwise good. Bought a 72 hr Card but only used for 40 hrs.

Copenhagen: Little for much! - There's little for much in Copenhagen. So don't raise your expectations too high! We were in Copenhagen from Friday to Sunday and wanted to see a lot. Due to the incredible crowds of visitors, the city feels flooded with people, which the locals rarely tolerate. Mistakes in cycling are insulted or commented on with vigorous shaking of the head. Bicycle roads are holey and bad! Our hotel was aimed at youth, small rooms, mini bathroom and breakfast here too LITTLE FOR MUCH. The trip was worth learning that I will never travel to Copenhagen again;-)

Foul! - It was impossible to download the pass and then Viator locked me out of the system. So even though I paid for the ticket, I never got it and I will not use Viator again.
