Danish viking Posted November 23, 2014 Author #2176 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I would say that you have time to do it. Nyhavn is located on the way to the pier and there you can have a good lunch, both seafood but also a "normal" meal. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISLABONITA Posted November 23, 2014 #2177 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I just booked flights from CPH TO KEF when we arrive back from our cruise next June and the confirmation told me to be at the airport 3 hours early.. Is this the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sav'h Gal Posted November 24, 2014 #2178 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello Danish Viking, we will arrive in Copenhagen May 13 on the Regal Princess. Not sure where we will dock but can you tell us the best way to get to the train station? Thank you, Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellubob Posted November 24, 2014 #2179 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That is good news...we would rather have real food than ship food. What is the best way to get to Oceankaj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like alot of time. You both have pass the security and also pass control at the C gates but that shouldn´t take 3 hours. Check in and bag drop off can take some time if you have to wait in line for that. You can save some time by using the automatic check in kiosks and the self service bagage drop off. Both Icelandair and WOW Air has that possibility, Icelandair also allows you to check in on your computer. Security can take from 2-3 minutes and upwards to 20 minutes if you are unlucky. I have seen some long waiting lines at the pass control around 12 am when many of the intercontinental/non Schengen flights departs. (they all departs from the C gates) So allow for 20 minutes or so there aswell. So if you are very unlucky you can use maybe 1,5 hour to get to your gate from the airport trainstation but if you are lucky perhaps only 30-40 minutes. If you are very unlucky you will use around 20 minutes at the check in, bag drop off procedure, 20 minutes (but its very rare) at the security and 20 minutes at the pass control (also rare but more likely) plus walking time from terminal 2 or 3 to security and to the C gates.

Danish viking Posted November 24, 2014 Author #2181 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello Danish Viking' date=' we will arrive in Copenhagen May 13 on the Regal Princess. Not sure where we will dock but can you tell us the best way to get to the train station? Thank you, Susan[/quote'] Your ship will be at Oceankaj but I can´t see if its terminal 1, 2 or 3 yet. Its a normal weekday bus 26 goes that day, so take bus 26 (direction Ålholm Plads) and get off at Østerport station. The bus goes from UNICEF Færgehavn Nord at XX:14 and XX:54. https://www.google.dk/maps/place/Unicef+F%C3%A6rgehavn+Nord/@55.714428,12.617847,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x465252b9af094e71:0xe18e422bba7ed610 There will probably also be shuttle busses to Østerport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Nyhavn you can take bus 26 (direction UNICEF Færgehavn Nord) directly to Oceankaj (if that is your terminal?) But not on weekends/public holidays. But its probably easier with a taxi.

So that's 11:00 or so then another 1-1.5 to get to the gate , after baggage check, past security etc. Looking at noon to 12:30 and flight leaves at 2:30 that seems reasonable.

Danish viking Posted November 24, 2014 Author #2184 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Time is all you have. Luckily for you the restaurant offers at the airport has been awarded as the best airport food in the world so you have plenty to do. At CPH most restaurants and shops are located airside (but before passport control) so you can shop at the LEGO store or Victoria's Secret and the many other shops if you have the time. Inside the C pier there is only a 7-Eleven (as far as i remember) so don't rush through the Passport check immediately, but still check the lines to see how long it takes.

Danish viking Posted November 25, 2014 Author #2185 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I do remember wrong :rolleyes: There is also a coffee shop/bar called Segafredo or something like that and a tax free store inside the C pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briody Posted November 25, 2014 #2188 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hello Danish viking, I booked the Admiral Hotel and I am leaving on a Sunday to go to the airport. I can get a taxi from the hotel on this day - right? Looking for a good restaurant by the hotel for dinner - not too expensive - for my last night - any suggestions. Also any must haves on souvenirs? Thanks for your help Briody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted November 25, 2014 Author #2189 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Here are a few restaurants around your hotel Ofelia http://kglteater.dk/whats-on/restaurants/cafe-og-restaurant-ofelia Koefoed http://www.restaurant-koefoed.dk/frontpage.html Gorm´s http://www.gormspizza.dk/english/ Nyhavns Færgekro. http://www.nyhavnsfaergekro.dk/english Leonore Christine http://www.leonore-christine.dk/default_ENG.aspx The Standard http://en.thestandardcph.dk/ Souvenirs you say :D The easy answer is a T-shirt or a viking helmet but perhaps some amber or a book abour norse mythology if you can find that.

DonnasMom&Dad Posted November 29, 2014 #2193 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Out of curiosity, is there any good hotels near "Hilerødgade Skole" in Copenhagen, the reason for asking is, I went to school there in 1943-1944, and may like to stay in he area, on one of our trips to Copenhagen/Nørrebro. :confused: Cato :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted November 30, 2014 Author #2194 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm sorry to tell you that there is no hotels nearby. This area is called Nørrebronx by the locals and you can probably guess why :D But its easy to visit from central Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnasMom&Dad Posted November 30, 2014 #2195 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Thank you for your information, I guess I was just hoping against hope, for old memories. :rolleyes: "Igen tusinde tak" ;) Cato (Dansk afstamning) :) Edited November 30, 2014 by Donna’s Mom & Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted November 30, 2014 Author #2196 Share Posted November 30, 2014 But bus 250S from the central station towards Buddinge has a busstop at Hillerødgade. These busses runs very frequently, like every 20th minute on Sundays and way more on other weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted November 30, 2014 Author #2197 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Btw this is a very big coincidence, yesterday I was at a Julefrokost (Christmas lunch) with my friends and on the stereo a song by Anne Linnet Called Barndommens Gade (the street of my childhood or something like that). Maybe you can search it on YouTube, its and "old" song from the 80'ies but its actually very good if you can ignore the Danish lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fabnfortysomething Posted November 30, 2014 #2198 Share Posted November 30, 2014 do you think the Copenhagen card is worthwhile-we will be staying at a hotel near cruise terminal and will need to get there from the airport,travel into the main city and then hotel to cruise terminal. would the included public transportation be easy to use with luggage or best to use taxi it also includes admission to 72 museums but in 24 hours would never be able to visit them all so I guess I'm asking is it a good deal or better to just pay as you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that you can buy the Citypass ticket that costs around 70-80 DKK and covers transportation in 24 hours in Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
