Travelling by car
If you do not have your own wheels, you can search for all kinds of rental vehicles. A valid national driving licence (in Roman type) or an international driving license is accepted.
Drive on right, overtake on the left and give way to traffic from the right. Most traffic signs in Denmark are international.
When travelling in Denmark by car there are a number of laws and regulations that you should be aware of - like speed limits, seat belts, etc. The most important ones you will find here.
Parking
One has to pay for parking in Copenhagen city centre and in the districts "Indre Brokvarterer". Here is a brief summary of the rules and parking zone system.
Three different parking zones in Copenhagen
Copenhagen centre and the inner bridge areas "Indre Brokvarterer" which cover
Østerbro, Vesterbro, Nørrebro, Amagerbro and Islands Brygge are divided into a
red, a green and a blue parking pay zone. The closer you get to the city centre,
the more expensive it gets.
Parking prices
Each parking pay zone has its own tariff. Tickets are purchased from the
ticket dispensing machines placed around the parking areas (payable coins are 1
DKK, 2 DKK, 5 DKK, 10 DKK and 20 DKK) credit cards accepted as well. The bottom
part of the ticket contains information about where you have parked and the
validity of the ticket. You can tear it off and take it with you. The rest of
the ticket must be placed in the front window, preferably at the side nearest to
the sidewalk. Prices change occasionally, so please check this
website for updated prices.
Carparks in Copenhagen
Signs at the major roads leading into the city display the number of free parking spaces in the major multi-storey carparks.
