Data for Copenhagen, Aarhus and the rest of Denmark, installed before you fly. Denmark is on the Europe plan, so the same eSIM crosses the bridge to Malmö and the border into Germany. It will not make the Little Mermaid any bigger.
The Denmark plan covers Denmark only.
The same 10 GB in a package that keeps working past Denmark.
38 other countries share the package with Denmark. A few of them:
What's included, when it starts, and how to get connected.
Copenhagen Airport is 14 minutes from the city centre on a metro that runs around the clock. The one new thing is the ticket: the plastic Rejsekort was switched off in June 2026, so fares now live in apps — or come out of a machine.
Install your onesim eSIM over Wi-Fi and leave the line switched off until you land. If you are visiting from outside the EU, check whether you need a visa: the EU’s Entry/Exit System, fully in place since April 2026, takes fingerprints and a photo on your first entry to the Schengen area, so allow a few extra minutes at passport control. Install the Rejsebillet app at home too.
When the plane has parked, open Settings → Mobile Data, choose the onesim line for mobile data and switch data roaming on for that line only. That first connection starts the package. Your home SIM stays in the phone with its data roaming off, so calls and texts to your usual number still reach you.
Follow the signs up to the metro at Terminal 3: line M2 reaches the city centre in about 14 minutes, runs every few minutes by day and keeps going all night. Mainline trains below the arrivals hall run to Copenhagen Central every 10 minutes. Buy a three-zone ticket in the Rejsebillet app or at a machine before you board, and keep it on you — inspectors are common.
Copenhagen is built for bikes: the cycle tracks sit between the pavement and the road on their own kerb, and at rush hour they are as busy as a motorway elsewhere. Watch the traffic for a day before you rent one. Keep right, look behind before you overtake, and never stop in the track to check your phone — pull over first.
In 2016 Collins named hygge its runner-up word of the year, behind Brexit, and a shelf of books followed — ‘mostly read by foreigners’, as Denmark’s own official website puts it. The scented candles, blankets and soft jumpers are the export. The real thing costs nothing: people you like, a long dinner nobody wants to end, low light. It is not for sale on Strøget.
Edvard Eriksen’s bronze has sat on her rock at Langelinie since 1913, and she is smaller than every photo suggests. She has also lost her head twice, in 1964 and 1998, and got it back once. Make her the end of a harbour walk past the five-pointed ramparts of Kastellet rather than the point of the day, and she is lovely.
The first harbour bath opened at Islands Brygge in 2002, the reward for years of cleaning up the water, which is now about as clean as the open Øresund. From early June to late August the baths are packed on every sunny day. After heavy rain they can close for a couple of days while the tide flushes the harbour; the water quality is published online, so check before you jump.
Nine in ten Danes own a bike, and Copenhagen’s cycle tracks carry commuters in suits, parents with children in cargo boxes and very little patience. Stepping into one for a photo is the classic visitor mistake: the bell is the warning, and there is rarely a second. On some one-way streets bikes may ride both ways, so look both ways too.
The open sandwich on dark rye is eaten with a knife and fork, and a proper lunch runs in courses: herring first, then the other fish, then meat and salads, cheese last. Nobody will fine you for starting with the roast beef, but someone will notice. Order dyrlægens natmad — ‘the vet’s midnight snack’: liver pâté, salt beef, aspic — for the name alone.
Answers about data, coverage and setup for Denmark.
No. Both are part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but neither is on the Europe plan’s list, so the package will not work there — and because neither is in the EU, the EU’s roam-like-at-home rules do not cover them either. If Tórshavn or Nuuk is on the route, plan on Wi-Fi or a local option for that leg, and keep the package for the rest of Denmark.
Yes. Sweden is on the Europe plan with Denmark, so the package carries on across the Øresund Bridge: the train from Copenhagen Central to Malmö takes 35 to 40 minutes, and the phone switches to a Swedish partner network on the way. Germany, Norway and Finland are on the plan too. Take a passport or ID card — Swedish police check trains into Sweden, usually at Hyllie.
In Denmark itself, usually not: roam-like-at-home applies, within your plan’s fair-use allowance. The package is for visitors from outside the EU — the UK, Switzerland, the Balkans, Türkiye, the US — and for European SIMs whose allowance will not survive a week of maps, photos and a phone that is now also your metro ticket.
