Private car transfer from Stockholm to Copenhagen

With a private car service like Daytrip, getting from Stockholm to Copenhagen will feel like a breeze. Before you dive into the surprises Copenhagen has prepared for you, make sure you add sightseeing stops to your trip. If you are eager to learn something new and have kids along with you, visit the Tom Tits Experiment science center in Sweden. If you are drawn to nature, take a moment to breathe in the calming waterfall scene at the village of Rottle.

Speaking of Andersen, one of his characters has been immortalized as a statue: the Little Mermaid, perhaps familiar to you through Disney's animated film adaptation. Although visitors often are not as impressed upon seeing the statue in real life, over the years, it has become a symbol of Copenhagen and deserves to be appreciated for its cultural significance.

Denmark is known as one of the happiest countries in the world, closely followed by Finland. This is not surprising, considering that Tivoli Gardens inspired Disney, and LEGO was invented in Denmark! On a more serious note, the ranking of the happiest country takes into account factors such as education, healthcare, low crime rate, and freedom.

Being one of the happiest countries in the world may also be connected to the Danish lifestyle which is known as hygge. This concept encompasses a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, enjoying the little things and sharing moments with your loved ones.

Candles play a significant role in the *hygge *lifestyle. It is estimated that, on average, every Dane burns around 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) of candles per year, so expect Copenhagen's restaurants and cafes to be adorned with glowing candles and fairy lights, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you are longing for a slowed-down pace, Copenhagen is the ideal destination for your Scandinavian trip.

Consider purchasing the Copenhagen Card

If you are planning to give public transport a good use and visit the main attractions, consider getting the Copenhagen Card, which includes unlimited rides and even free entrance to the top attractions. You can choose either the Discover or Hop card, which differ in price and the amount of access they provide to attractions and transportation options throughout the city.

From Stockholm to Copenhagen by train

A quicker way to get from Stockholm to Copenhagen is by high-speed train. One of the main service providers is SJ, with the cheapest tickets starting at around $45 (€41.50). Keep in mind that these affordable fares are for 2nd class trains departing early in the morning (5:20 AM) or late at night (11:10 PM). These trains travel at a speed of up to 124 mi/h (200 km/h), so you will reach Stockholm in about 5 hours.

From Stockholm to Copenhagen by plane

If you are planning to fly from Stockholm to Copenhagen, you can get some quite cheap flight deals on the Norwegian Airlines website. The cheapest tickets during sales start from $50 (€47), but it’s worth noting that these tickets don’t include a carry-on bag.

While the flight takes just 1 hour and 10 minutes, you also have to factor in the wait time at the airport (2 hours) and commuting to and from the airport. As flights often have delays, you might have to spend more time at the airport than expected. So, in total, it can take you around 4 hours to reach your destination.

From Stockholm to Copenhagen by cruise

For a more luxurious experience, you can opt for a cruise to travel from Stockholm to Copenhagen. The cruises between these cities navigate through the Baltic Sea, making stops at several ports on the way. The length and prices of these cruises vary, so make sure you do some research to find what best suits your preferences.

Your driver will not only make stops at your chosen sights but also share some of the best tips only locals know. Without adding any stops, the drive takes around 7 hours.

As you are booking your trip with Daytrip, you can add any sightseeing stops to your journey from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Would you like to explore Sweden’s best-preserved Renaissance castle?

If you want to soak in some medieval charm before reaching modern Copenhagen, make sure you have Karnan Tower or Lund, one of Sweden’s oldest cities, on your list.

It is one of the main attractions in Copenhagen, but if you get the Copenhagen Card, you won’t have to pay any additional fees to enter the Tivoli Gardens. We assure you that you won’t be disappointed!

Explore the Freetown Christiania

Christiania is probably one of the most unique places you will ever visit. It is a self-governing town within Copenhagen created in 1971 by activists to form a free community in an abandoned military base. The locals of Christiania are known for their openness towards drugs and liberal philosophy emphasizing artistic expression and alternative lifestyles. They even have their own laws, flag, and currency (Løn).

The area of Christiania is also unique for its street art, but be careful when taking photos, as some parts of it are prohibited. Pusher Street is one of the most famous ones in Christiania since, until recently, it was the main place for selling cannabis. There were also special rules on this street: you could not run and take photos.

Admire the Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace is a must when visiting Copenhagen. It's steeped in centuries-long history, as it was the residence of the Danish monarchy until 1794. Nowadays, it is one of the most visited sites in the capital of Denmark. The palace also has the tallest tower in Copenhagen, which you can access for free. You can admire the artwork, stroll through the royal reception rooms and kitchen, and explore the ruins of the previous castles.

Get a taste of the Danish cuisine

Copenhagen is home to the restaurant Noma, which was considered the best in the world for many years. Denmark takes gastronomy seriously. While Copenhagen is far from being cheap, you should definitely try some of its typical dishes (no need to visit Michelin-star restaurants). Here are three of our favorite ones:

• Smørrebrød: you have not been to Copenhagen if you have not tried these open-faced sandwiches. They are made of rye bread with different kinds of toppings, such as beef, smoked salmon, eggs, herring, and shrimp.
• Frikadeller: one of the most famous Danish dishes. It consists of minced pork meatballs, eggs, onion, and flour. *Frikadeller *is usually accompanied by sauce, boiled potatoes, and red cabbage.
• Gravad laks: salmon is an important part of Danish gastronomy. This dish is made of marinated salmon, seasoned with dills and sweet mustard.
