Copenhagen Central Station, Copenhagen

One of the busiest and largest stations in Denmark, Copenhagen Central Station can be accessed from Reventlowsgade, Banegardspladsen, Tietgensgade and Bernstorffsgade at Tivoli Gardens. People throng here to use the S-trains, regional trains and InterCity.

International trains plying from this station servicing passengers to and from Sweden include the frequent and regular Oresund services. There are a total of 13 platforms in this station and a lot of fast food outlets, cafeterias and small shops on the concourse.

The city’s first ever railway station came into existence in 1847. Made of wood, this station served Roskildebanen. Due to a strong need to extend the railway station, another station was designed and built by H.J. Herholdt in 1864.

Eventually, this station also proved to be small. Heinrich Wenck designed and built the present station connecting it to Osterport station with a tube and with tracks to the south of the city. Construction of the station was completed in 1911.

A complete overhaul in 1980 resulted in the addition of lifts and escalators. Another overhaul between 2004 and 2008 was done to replace the roof and to refurbish platforms 3 and 6 and raise them to international standards. This station is definitely worth visiting. In fact, do not miss the unique experience of traveling in the train.
