Traffic Information

When you arrive via the airport, you can pick up your rental from our office then take the Amager Boulevard for 4.2 miles into the city. It should take around 14 minutes depending on traffic.

If you park in a free area, you'll need to display a parking disc. These will be supplied with all rental cars and are used like a clock, to show the time you arrived.

The motorways are toll-free in and around Copenhagen, and there are plenty of arterial routes which connect the city's various districts. Although the network is well laid out, traffic problems occur here during rush hour as they do elsewhere.

The 02 route is a main road which circles central Copenhagen, if you're leaving the city, it's best to join it quickly, then follow it up to the E47. From here, you can simply take the exit you need to get deeper into the country.

Take in the incredible architecture and pristine harbour area, or venture into the stylish Vesterbro district for a taste of vintage chic. For business travellers, Copenhagen is one of the world's cleantech epicentres and has had a clearly defined business centre at Ørestad, close to the airport, since the 1990s. Like many other commercial areas in this well-planned city, it's easy to reach and offers plenty of secure onsite parking.

Sixt Tip

Colourful and rich in culture, Copenhagen is packed with ancient treasures found on its own doorstep and far beyond. You can see some of the most stunning Viking hauls in the world here at the National Museum of Denmark, the largest museum in the country. There are also opulent regal homes like the Amalienborg Palace, dripping in fine art and packed with stunning jewels owned by the current Danish royal family. If you appreciate the Danish Golden Age of art, then the National Gallery of Denmark has plenty to share. However, it's on the seafront beside the Langelinie walkway that you'll find one of the best-loved features of Copenhagen, The Little Mermaid. She's just 1.25 metres tall, but the Hans Christian Anderson inspired sculpture remains hugely iconic.

You might not associate Copenhagen with culinary expertise, but the city is bursting with top chefs. When you hire a car, the choice of which to visit is yours, so get ready for unique dining Nordic style.

Try Den Røde Cottage for seasonal flavours spread over a number of courses, it's an easy 13 mile drive from the city centre, which should take 24 minutes. Closer to town is Geranium, a restaurant managed by star chef Rasmus Kofoed, which strives to heighten all your senses with each meal.
