How To Travel Amsterdam to Copenhagen

Copenhagen in Denmark (Kopenhagen in Dutch, København in Danish) is a popular city destination for many travellers and lies some 630km north-east from Amsterdam.

Let’s look at the options for travel between Amsterdam and Copenhagen by train, air and bus.

1. Amsterdam-Copenhagen by Train

Travel by rail between Amsterdam and Copenhagen can be done during the daytime in 10-12 hours with changes of train at Osnabrück and Hamburg in Germany. It can be easily booked via the NS International site (euros) or the Trainline site here (multi-currencies) with prices starting from €57 one-way.

The Amsterdam-Copenhagen rail journey is made with the following 3 components:

1. Amsterdam-Osnabrück using the Intercity Berlin train which runs 6x daily between Amsterdam and Berlin. This takes around 3 hours.

2. Osnabrück-Hamburg by domestic German ICE train service running via Bremen which takes just under 2 hours.

For detailed info please refer to our Amsterdam-Hamburg travel page

3. Hamburg-Copenhagen using an Intercity service jointly run by DB German Railways and DSB (Danske Statsbaner) Danish Railways. This part of the trip takes about 4 hours 40 minutes.

The train runs a longer route via Padborg, Kolding, Odense and Ringsted. Previously it ran via the Rødby-Puttgarden ferry link which is being replaced by the under construction Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link tunnel – due for completion in 2029.

The Hamburg-Copenhagen train service uses older series DB Intercity train carriages similar to those in use on the Intercity Berlin. They are pulled by a Danish DSB electric locomotive. New trainsets are expected to be introduced on this route around 2024.

2nd class seats are mainly an open 2-2 configurations whilst 1st class are mostly 6 seat compartments.

The trains have free WiFi and power outlets available. There is no bistro carriage available – on the Danish side of the route an attendant walks through selling hot drinks and snacks.

Hamburg-Copenhagen journey highlights

The windows on this train are large and offer good views. The journey itself has some interesting sights along the way including:

• On the German side, the Rendsburg High Bridge and Loop offers some excellent elevated views over the Kiel canal and the surrounding countryside. You cross the bridge then loop around back to ground level passing under the bridge and then through Rendsburg station.
• In Denmark, just past Kolding station you briefly run alongside the Kolding Fjord (views on the right-hand side) and a bit further on cross The Little Belt bridge (Den Gamle Lillebæltsbro) which connects the Danish mainland (Jutland) with the island of Funen.
• Crossing the Great Belt which connects Funen and Zealand islands. The first part is a joint road and rail box-girder bridge; at the island of Sprogø it splits into a rail tunnel and a suspension bridge for road traffic.

Top 4 airlines serving from copenhagen to amsterdam.

Quick and efficient as always. Air France managed to loose and damage my luggage that never made it onto my KLM flight.

The food from Lagos to Amsterdam was was very poor compared to AMS-YYZ

The flight was again delayed for more then 2 hours with some lousy explanation regarding the reason of the delay. Although the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours, no refreshments were offered (according to EU regulations). Last 4 flights on KLM - always at least 2 hrs late. So be prepared that you cannot plan anything with KLM.

Booked connecting flights with KlM. My serving flight was the furthest part of the airport. On arrival in Zurich. My two cases arrived but only one carry on belong to my son. His three suitcase didn't arrive. After enquiring we discovered they were still in Amsterdam. We landed at 11.12. We eventually left the airport just after one.

Seats are fair enough for medium tall people. Good food all the trip. Fight attendances are warm

I thought KLM was the best airline but the Lima - Amsterdam was 1 hours late, the Brussels - Amsterdam was 2.30 hours late and the Amsterdam - Lima was 30 minutes late

no issues at all... Kudos to the food. This time was really really good

Overall a good experience. We were disappointed when we had to check our carry on due to the plane being full. KLM hadn’t notified us and we had valuable items in the carry on but they still made us check it. Some of the food was great and some was mediocre. Crew is really kind and funny.

One of the vstewardeses wanted to bump me of the plane for absolutely nothing. There is CCTV in the plane ans everything can be verified. Very disappointing , you all will see, o other 5 years and the passangers who does not smile to flight attendent will be bumped off...

I travel frequently. The flight was late again... KLM should really try and be on time

flight attendant spilled juice on me entertainment was limited i wanted to upgrade but $$$ was exorbitant i purchased $69 seat, only to find out day of flight/purchase never went through & I was "assigned" a terrible seat! ( btw another passenger complained of the same thing happening to her)

Other than a delay that had nothing to do with the staff, it was a very pleasant experience.

Bathrooms weren’t too clean. Onboard entertainment was light. Other than that everything was great. Food, service, comfort and crew. Although it was hard to understand the crew announcements.

Much better, not their fault but my plane was so delayed causing me to have to take this airline rather than my earlier connecting flight

All was good. I think the back of the plane should be boarded first. It would be faster. Minimal waiting time behind passengers loading their carry on baggage.

This was my first time flying SAS and used them for 4 flights. The crews, flight and communication was outstanding. I flew premium economy and was extremely impressed by their SAS lounges. I will 100% ise SAS again. Everyone was so pleasant!

I upgraded to economy plus and it’s so worth the price. The crew is exceptional and the food is pretty decent. I would definitely fly with them again.

I paid for wifi and it worked about a total of 5 min. Feel ripped off

I couldn’t make it to the airport for my original flight due to bad weather; roads were shut down, buses and trains were closed. Since the plane wasn’t cancelled, I still had to pay $720 to change my ticket.

Overall, this flight team did a fantastic job. They came often with the water, coffee and tea. There was no meal choice in coach, but the lasagna lunch was decent. The sandwich snack just before landing was tasty. The baggage bins were large, so no trouble holding carry on luggage.

I was disappointed there was a 40 minute delay to flight

The trip itself was good. I have given only good as rating, because my first flight has been cancelled by a different airline and that caused disruption in my trip. I spent over ten hours in Luton airport and that caused me high tiredness, sickness, because of the very early initial trip. easyJet staff has been professional and friendly.

Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board

I am writing to share how your teams can better serve your youngest customers. On 9 January, 2024, I boarded and then de-boarded a flight with my 6 month old daughter. I have four children and travel extensively. Delays happen, but the stress my daughter had to ensure was avoidable with simple and straightforward actions. (1) communicate delays to customers -- Breastfeeding mothers are constantly timing feedings. If delays were communicated, I could have camly fed her instead of attentively waiting for priority boarding. There were no announcements and no updates to the monitor; (2) honor the priority boarding process -- While a staff member waved us in for priority boarding, half the plane boarded while the "priority check-in" representative was preoccupied; (3) anticipate challenges creating unnecessary stress to infants -- after completely ignoring the priority boarding procedure, and knowing that the plane had not even arrived, the team could have offered to board us last. My daughter could have been calm in the waiting area while breastfeeding. Instead my 6 month old was completely unnecessarily stressed in the middle of the jet bridge, packed in solid.

Not great! Rude staff in London and the worse baggage reclaim I’ve ever seen. Great staff in flight but doubt I’ll fly with them again

As you would expect from a budget airline Left and arrived on time, no frills, not even a glass of water offered But you get what you pay for

EverEverything was actually great. Except one of the male flight attendants had the worst BO and needed to shower and wear deodorant. It was horrible.

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

The seat leg room seemed much tighter on the way home My cheese toasty wasn’t that hot - didn’t realise till half eaten

Trip was completely cancelled with no other reasonable option for that day; no reason given. I will avoid booking anything with easy jet

Short flight, some waiting to board, but no issues and no frills.

No staff at the gate and the flights were not posted on the board so we missed our flight. Horrible experience. Be VERY careful flying Norwegian. Super limited ability to communicate with their slim staffing and restricted hours.

Top 4 airlines serving from amsterdam to copenhagen.

The flight was delayed for 2 hrs. Because they didn’t have a crew to fly. And it is not a first time for klm to do that. Last time they cancelled my filght and rebooked me 3 days later. Not reliable airline

We left one hour late because of technical difficulties. The economy comfort seats are great for the price. The crew was mediocre, they do not provide a pleasant experience, they just deliver food and drinks and give orders, not very amicable, no service and hospitality focus.

I thought KLM was the best airline but the Lima - Amsterdam was 1 hours late, the Brussels - Amsterdam was 2.30 hours late and the Amsterdam - Lima was 30 minutes late

The food was ok. The crew seemed like they were cranky. I had one guy get mad at me for passing in between the storage area to get to the other toilet. I can understand if it's not allowed but reprimanding me like I'm a student saying "This is the last time!" was not appropriate. During my meal time, there was a French family around me. No problems there but when we usually have meals, they are supposed to put their chair in the upright position. These people did not do it and the steward did not tell them to raise their seat in the upright position. However, I was told to do so! So, me and another person next to me had to eat with the monitor almost touching our faces. Furthermore, a lady in front of me was putting her feet up and preventing another elder passenger from putting her seat back. To make it worse, she was continuously hitting her back into her seat, shaking my monitor while I was watching a movie. A crew member did speak to her about it but then she accused me of pushing her seat forward! The crew member gave me a death stare and told me to stop pushing the seat forward. I did not even touch her seat at all, if I did, she would know it. Her boyfriend also stood up and tried to push her seat even further past the maximum decline to no avail. None of these people were reprimanded but the steward, some bald guy, was extremely friendly with them and did not even try to instruct them to do anything until it was time to land. I resisted the urge to really argue with them because I would have obviously been seen as the aggressor (I have no idea why). I hardly said anything on this flight except "more wine please" and "sorry" if I bumped into someone accidentally. Overall, it was an annoying flight and I had to resist the urge to yell at the steward and the people he was overly friendly with. The happiest moment of this flight was leaving it.

One of the vstewardeses wanted to bump me of the plane for absolutely nothing. There is CCTV in the plane ans everything can be verified. Very disappointing , you all will see, o other 5 years and the passangers who does not smile to flight attendent will be bumped off...

The worst airline. Cancelled flight 30 min before boarding and rebooked on flight after 3 days.

It was nice to be on a legacy airline, people try at least.

Mostly fine. Minor delays departing and arriving. Quite a cramped plane, not so much as regards legroom but very narrow seats. Quiet nice food. Non-working USB charger. Flight attendants were helpful but not particularly proactive — one had to work to get their attention (but all was fine once they notice you), very Dutch style:)

The flight itself it was great nice food the crew were very nice and helpful, Checking in from Birmingham wasn't great long queues for bag dropped, And I had my hand luggage case taken away from me even though I requested to have it with me as I had breakables items. I was told I can not because of the length of the flight with no explanation at all no options was given for me to take my fragile items out of my case it was taken away with hold buggage I find the staff member who was checking me in very unpleasant !! Can we please be advise if the rules have changed about the the carry on hand luggage it will be easier to be advise on booking your tickect if we not allowed to take the hand luggage with me. Overall I had a good flight .

The plane was clean and the staff was friendly. Food and drinks as expected on international flights. The entertainment system was old style, with a pullout controller, and selections not as extensive as on other flights.

The whole flight was coughing and farting all the way. It was impossible to breathe. If people are traveling sick they should either not be allowed to fly or made wear masks

I will never fly vueling. 1h30 delayed, connexion missed with the crew closing the boarding in front of us. 40 people missed the Barcelona-Orly connexion. hours waiting for rebooking and hotel.. inadmissible

3 hr flight from Barcelona to Gran Canaria. Ŵent according to plan No issues with staff oŕ flight. Many people includiñg us could not get luggage self checķ in termìnals to work. Had to wait in check in line.

The communication about the delay could have been better before and during the flight. Also, this online form could have less bugs. It is almost impossible to type in this window.

Boarding was very poor as the flight was initially delayed. We were told the flight would be at 21:40. We were with our 10 month baby who was sleeping. I received an email from Kayak which said the flight was now due to take off at 21:04. When we checked the screens at Gatwick we were told the gate was closed. The lack of communication was extremely poor and we had to run with our baby and there were many other passengers, including elderly people, also running to the gate. When we got to the gate, the staff had no reasons for the poor communication.

We got to the airport 2 hours before the flight. We waited in a line to check our bags onto the flight for an hour, even despite having checked in online, as there weren't enough self check terminals allocated to Vueling (yet loads of empty BA ones right next to them). There also weren't enough staff, making them stressed and rude. We had to try and rush through security to get to our gate, which they announced as gate 35 at first and then changed it after ten minutes with no announcement to anyone in the airport that it had changed. So we then had to rush to the correct gate to arrive just as boarding started. It was a thoroughly stressful process and one travelling couple almost missed boarding because of it. The flight boarding and the flight itself werre fine, the staff were polite, but I was dehydrated due to the airport and had to buy a bottle of water as they didn't offer free drinks.

Bought check in baggage but couldn’t do it at the kiosk, had to line up just to get baggage tag which was a very long queue with only 1 customer service agent handling all vueling flights. Had to wait about 45mins just to get a bag tag and drop baggage.

You have couple of KG's grace on checked luggage

Last time bucking this company if I would know I wouldn’t do it, they made me lose my flight

Le vol et l'embarquement se sont bien déroulé, mais une fois arrivé à destination nous n'avons pas trouvé notre valise. Nous avons été voir au guichet pour en savoir plus et c'est à ce moment qu'on nous dit que par manque de place dans la soute notre bagage est resté à Paris et sera enregistré sur le vol de demain et qu'il faudra revenir le chercher le lendemain à 16h. Le lendemain à 16h personne ne fût capable de nous renseigner et on nous à donné 3 versions différentes de la procédure à suivre. Finalement nous avons réussit à récupérer notre valise après 26h de retard. On nous à donné un numéro pour contacté la compagnie mais en appelant le numéro dédié à la France on tombe sur des personnes qui ne parlent qu'anglais ou espagnol ou bien on nous raccroche au nez.

Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off

The flight was delayed for over 1 hour. The boarding process is appalling making you wait for 30 minutes in the passage leading to the outside door without any seats.

Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board

Not great! Rude staff in London and the worse baggage reclaim I’ve ever seen. Great staff in flight but doubt I’ll fly with them again

You booked my 7 year old son to sit on his own without his mum and dad in s separate row between two unfriendly adult strangers. The plane was disgusting and dirty, aisles and everywhere sticky. The lounge waiting area was filthy carpet and had insufficient seats so we had to sit on it to wait for 35 minutes and my 7 year old sone played on this filthy lounge carpet. The outside of the plane appeared clean. The pilot was helpful with the route and what to expect weather etc.

Staff had been really impolite at the boarding area and for both ways charged high extra fees without a reason. For the check-in luggage which was measured 3.5 kg and was confirmed by the stuff to cost 40 € , 60 Euros had been purchased from our credit card. When confronted staff did call us both liars and claimed to never have announced anything. Flight back , when not wanting to press a backpack in a measuring metal instead of hand measuring , staff got angry that one did not follow her order, which was than escalated by the team. Although carrying a baby anyways staff did not offer any help in the unreasonable process and than charged again extra money. Cabine crew has been friendly but this experience LL lead to not booking easy jet at all in the future. Check in process in Edinburgh anyways chaotic,to the family check-in and disabled check-in everybody else was guided for check in process, so people just getting in between each other, not possible to monitor your own stuff.

As you would expect from a budget airline Left and arrived on time, no frills, not even a glass of water offered But you get what you pay for

Cancelled last minute, I had to travel 13 hours by train at night

The seat leg room seemed much tighter on the way home My cheese toasty wasn’t that hot - didn’t realise till half eaten

Short flight, some waiting to board, but no issues and no frills.

A Quick Overview: Copenhagen vs Amsterdam

Amsterdam: a quick overview.

Amsterdam is the largest city and capital of the Netherlands. More than 920,000 people live here, with over 2.4 million in the surrounding metropolitan area.

It’s located in the North Holland province in the western part of the country, and it’s known for its unique and intricate network of canals, earning it the nickname “Venice of the North”.

The Dutch capital has a long and fascinating history, having been founded hundreds of years ago, in the 12th century. It started off as a small, sleepy village, but enjoyed rapid development and expansion over the years, thanks to its great location and wide range of trade routes to various locations.

There was even a time when Amsterdam was one of the richest and most influential cities in Europe.

Those days have passed, but it’s still a thriving and successful city, well-known for its highly progressive politics, laid-back locals, and strong touristic appeal, drawing in millions of visitors from far and wide.

With its charming cobbled streets and fascinating museums, Amsterdam is, in many ways, a quintessential Western European city.

But it also has unique quirks that set it apart from the rest, like its canals, famous Red Light District, cannabis cafes, colorful houseboats, and unusual attractions, like the Fluorescent Art Museum and obscure antique emporiums.

Copenhagen: A Quick Overview

Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark, as well as being the largest of all Danish cities. It has a population of nearly 1.4 million people, with over 2.1 million in the entire metropolitan area, so it’s pretty similar to Amsterdam in terms of size and feel.

It’s built across two islands named Zealand and Amager in the eastern part of the country.

As with many Scandinavian cities, Copenhagen was founded by the Vikings, many centuries ago. Like Amsterdam, it started life as sleepy fishing village, but grew rapidly as the centuries went by, becoming the capital of Denmark and its primary economic and cultural hub as early as the 15th century.

Despite having a long and storied past, Copenhagen is now known as a very modern and forward-thinking city, with a strong financial sector, lots of innovative technology, and many sustainable initiatives.

It’s also well-known for being one of the world’s best places to live, as well as being quite an expensive, trendy city.

Funnily enough, Copenhagen is also sometimes nicknamed the “Venice of the North,” like Amsterdam, thanks to its canals and waterways.

And, like the Dutch capital, it’s a prominent touristic hotspot, with famed attractions, palaces, museums, and an exceptional culinary scene, with the most Michelin-starred restaurants of any Scandinavian city.

There are lots of things to do in both Copenhagen and Amsterdam, from roaming around the cities’ museums to shopping, dining, and more.

However, each city has its own unique landmarks and experiences to offer. Here are some of the best and most popular things to do in both of these European capitals.

Copenhagen: The Activities

Many visitors to Copenhagen will want to start off by exploring the city’s historic center, known as Indre By.

That’s where you’ll find many of the Danish capital’s oldest and prettiest buildings, like the stunning Rosenborg Castle, where the nation’s crown jewels are housed, or Christiansborg Palace, where Denmark’s parliament assembles.

Many visitors to this city also adore exploring the wonderful Nyhavn area, famed for its pastel-colored buildings and waterfront views.

It feels quite similar to Amsterdam in many ways, but has its own Scandi charm. The famed fairy tale writer, Hans Christian Andersen, once lived in this area, and visitors can snap a selfie in front of his former home.

Along with its historic zones, Copenhagen also has lots of hip, modern areas, such as Sydhavnen, where old harborside factories have gradually been converted into cultural and community spaces, along with Refshaleoen, with its craft beer bars and lively flea markets.

Exploring the city and discovering these trendy spots is part of the fun of visiting Copenhagen.

The Danish capital also has family attractions, like Tivoli Gardens, which is one of the oldest theme parks on Earth, as well as plenty of great museums and galleries, like the National Gallery and National Museum of Denmark.

It also has a few quirky spots to check out, like the Christiania hippie commune or the inner-city Copenhill ski-slope.

Amsterdam: The Activities

Over in Amsterdam, much of the city’s charm can be found in its historic center, with its winding canals and pretty old buildings.

The Nine Streets area is a good place to get started, showcasing all of the flower-lined bridges, winding canals, and cute houseboats that the city is best known for.

Amsterdam also has several museums and galleries to check out. Most visitors will want to spend at least a little time in the Van Gogh Museum, for example, admiring the work of the Netherlands’ greatest artist, while the Rijksmuseum is also a super spot to explore for a few hours, with many iconic artworks from other Dutch masters.

History lovers will also like to check out the Anne Frank Museum, where the famous young diarist hid and lived during the Second World War.

Or, for something with a very different vibe, take a trip to the NEMO Science Museum, with its array of awesome interactive exhibits, perfect for teaching kids about the wonders of the world.

The Dutch capital also has huge green spaces, like Vondelpark, and plenty of quirky spots, similar to Copenhagen. There’s a museum all about cats, for example, or another museum focused on microbes.

Plus, Amsterdam has its iconic Red Light District, which visitors might like to walk around – it’s quite a cozy and laid-back spot during the daytime, but has a very different vibe after dark.

Overall, both cities are pretty and pleasant to walk around, but a lot of the fun of Amsterdam is exclusively located in the center.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen has more to discover in its various districts, encouraging visitors to explore and leave the beaten path behind. It also has a slightly wider range of activities than Amsterdam.

You can easily spend a full week in either Amsterdam or Copenhagen without getting bored or running out of things to do.

However, you might prefer to take one or two days out of your travel itinerary to leave these cities behind and see somewhere different. So, which one is better-suited for day trips?

Well, thanks to Amsterdam’s convenient location and good train links, it’s well-connected to other big Dutch cities like Rotterdam and Utrecht, which provide deeper looks into the country’s culture.

It’s also nicely-placed for trips over the border into Belgium, with Antwerp, Bruges, and Brussels all reachable within a few hours, giving you lots of options to choose from.

Copenhagen also has a fantastic location, right by the border between Sweden and Denmark. Thanks to that, it’s quite easy to hop over into Sweden to a lovely city like Malmo, famed for its centuries-old castle.

Or, you could simply stay in Denmark and see the likes of Roskilde, with its Viking Ship Museum, or Hillerod, which also has a super castle and brilliant Museum of National History.

Overall, both cities work very well for day trips, and there’s no obvious winner in this category, as you can find some terrific experiences from either location.

Both Amsterdam and Copenhagen are famed for their lively and wild nightlife scenes. So, if you prefer staying out late and hitting up the clubs and pubs instead of heading back to your hotel for an early night, you’ll find a lot to love about both of these cities.

In Amsterdam, for example, there’s the famous Red Light District. Despite having some seedy connotations, this area is also home to the city’s craziest clubs and some super drinking holes, too.

Places like Rembrandtplein also have many more bars and pubs to check out, along with dance clubs playing electronic music or boasting live DJ sets until the early hours.

Not to be outdone, Copenhagen also has impressive nightlife. It’s known as one of the top party spots in all of Scandinavia, with a long list of pubs and clubs bunched up around the center of the city.

Areas like Vesterbro and Norrebro have everything you could hope to find, from rowdy clubs to chilled-out taverns with top quality beer on tap.

Overall, it’s tough to call a winner here, as both cities have excellent nightlife. So, if you like parties, dancing, music, and drinking, you’re guaranteed a good time, no matter which one you visit. Though, Amsterdam probably has the more unique nighltife scene.

While in Copenhagen or Amsterdam, you might also like to grab some souvenirs to take back home, traditional gifts to give to family and friends, or some luxurious European clothing and jewelry for your collection. No matter what you’re looking for, both of these cities are super shopping spots.

Copenhagen is often cited as the best shopping city in Scandinavia. The almost mile-long Stroget street is a great place to start, with countless stores and all the big brands represented.

The Latin Quarter is also a wonderful place to find indie and vintage stores, along with second-hand shops for budget buys, while the Fisketorvet mall has 100 more stores to see.

In Amsterdam, there are some charming antique stores, great markets, and all the usual European fashion houses and boutique brands to check out.

The Nine Streets area has some charming vintage shops to browse, while the Magna Plaza mall is ideal on rainy days and the floating flower market of Bloemenmarkt is simply beautiful.

Overall, if you love to shop, you’ll find a wider range of options in Copenhagen, with stores of all kinds.

Amsterdam is a little better for markets, but Copenhagen is king for general shopping ad luxury boutiques.

Another wonderful part of visiting European capital cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen is the food. These kinds of cities tend to have the very best of their national cuisine, along with lots of diverse options from elsewhere around the world.

Amsterdam, for example, is a fine place to sample some of the best Dutch dishes, like tasty stews and unique pastries and cakes.

Dutch cuisine isn’t as renowned or widely-loved as other European flavors, but it’s still got some tasty treats. There are also lots of good fast food joints, bakeries, family restaurants, and pizzerias around Amsterdam.

Copenhagen, meanwhile, has a high-end culinary scene to rival some of the best in the world. This city has a whole host of Michelin-starred restaurants, with certain menus ranked among the most delicious on the planet.

For gourmet-grade dining, few cities can compete with the Danish capital. It also has lots of other fabulous eateries for smaller budgets, with stunning seafood and lots of diverse dishes to try.

The prices may be higher in Copenhagen, but it definitely has the better culinary scene of these two cities.

If you love fancy dining or just want to sample a wider range of high quality food, the Danish capital is most certainly the perfect place to go.

Which Is Better For A Family Trip? 

If you’re taking the family on vacation to either Copenhagen or Amsterdam, you’ll surely have a magical experience in either city.

Both of them have kid-friendly vibes and attractions, although one might be a little better than the other for the average family.

Copenhagen has the benefit of feeling more family-friendly all-around than Amsterdam. It also has some thrilling attractions, like the famed Tivoli Gardens, with its rides and amusements.

Little ones can also enjoy spotting the various fairy tale statues and sculptures around the city, like the Little Mermaid statue and various trolls. Play areas are also plentiful in Copenhagen, and the city has its own zoo and aquarium, too.

In Amsterdam, there are also some fun family spots, like the Royal Zoo, where a myriad of exotic animals are waiting to greet you, or the NEMO Science Museum, which has lots of interactive exhibits to keep kids entertained.

Older children may also appreciate some of the more mature attractions, like the Anne Frank Museum and Van Gogh Museum.

Overall, families can have happy times in either city, but will probably have a better experience in Copenhagen.

Some parents may be put off by Amsterdam’s Red Light area and cannabis cafes, which Copenhagen doesn’t have, and the Danish capital definitely has more to amuse little ones than its Dutch counterpart.

Which Is Better For Couples? 

For couples, the choice between Copenhagen and Amsterdam can be a little trickier. Both of these cities are beautiful to look at, with soothing waterways, cute winding streets, and wide green spaces.

Copenhagen has the benefit of having better restaurants, perfect for those late-night romantic meals with your partner.

There are also lots of lovely gardens to stroll around, hand-in-hand, along with vibrant and diverse districts and neighborhoods to discover and explore together with your partner.

In Amsterdam, couples can enjoy the inimitable beauty of the city’s canals and quaint little bridges.

You and your partner might like to hire some bikes and cycle across the city, stop off at the various hip cafes, or walk the cobbled streets in search of one-of-a-kind treasures in the city’s stores and boutiques.

In short, both cities are romantic and charming for couples. However, Copenhagen might just have the edge, due to its culinary scene.

Backpackers can also be drawn to both Copenhagen and Amsterdam, and both cities have their benefits for backpacking adventurers.

Amsterdam has the big advantage of being much cheaper than Copenhagen. And, given the fact that budget is usually a big concern for backpackers, you’ll definitely have an easier time finding cheap food and accommodation in the Dutch capital.

Backpackers will also appreciate the laid-back, liberal locals and friendly, chilled-out vibes of the city.

Copenhagen has similarly friendly people and vibes, but undoubtedly comes with higher price tags, which might make it difficult for backpackers to have a truly fulfilling trip.

Still, the city has plenty of free things to do, like touring the hippie community of Christiania or roaming along the waterfront at Nyhavn.

Overall, Amsterdam is slightly better for backpackers, thanks to its lower prices, but you shouldn’t rule-out Copenhagen, as it can still be a great spot for a budget-friendly adventure, if you plan your itinerary with care.

When it comes to cost, as you may have guessed one city is certainly cheaper than the other.

Of the two cities, it’s Amsterdam which emerges as the cheapest. It’s not massively cheaper, but there’s still a clear difference in terms of typical food, transport, and activity costs.

So, if you’re on a strict budget, you might find that Amsterdam works a little better for you than Copenhagen.

With that said, Amsterdam still has pretty pricey accommodation, especially around the center, so you still have to be careful and book ahead of time to get the best rates.

Budget: The 3-star Top Of The City  bed & breakfast is set in the heart of the city within walking distance of many of the main attractions. The hotel is clean, modern and set right beside a canal so you’ll be staying in a fantastic setting too. See photos and rates!

Luxury: There’s many reasons for Hotel TwentySeven being one of the best rated 5-star hotels in Europe. For one, with just 16 suites the service is extremely personal, the decor is gorgeous, and the on-site restaurant even has a Michelin star. On top of that, the location is unbeatable. See photos and rates!

Budget: Copenhagen and budget aren’t too words that go together that often, but we know a four-star hotel with apartments that will fit most budgets. That’s the four-star Zoku Copenhagen , where you’ll be staying in a typically classy Scandi-style apartment. See photos and rates!

Luxury: The five-star Nimb Hotel is situated within the city’s famous Tivoli Garden and is arguably the most striking building in Copenhagen. Expect world-class service, exceptional decor and the stay of a lifetime. See photos and rates!

Which Has The Best Weather?

Measured in a straight line, there are just under 400 miles separating Copenhagen and Amsterdam, with the former being much further north than the latter.

Thanks to this, the two cities have different weather conditions, especially during the colder periods of the year, but the difference isn’t as big as one might expect.

In terms of rainfall and cloud cover, Amsterdam and Copenhagen are pretty similar. Even in terms of average temperatures, they’re almost identical for large parts of the year, with comfortable summers and mild shoulder seasons.

However, as winter draws nearer, the temperature definitely drops much lower in Copenhagen than it does in Amsterdam.

So, if you’re planning a visit in the summer, you won’t notice too much difference between the two cities. But, for winter trips, along with visits in early spring or late fall, Copenhagen will certainly feel colder, with a higher chance of frost and snow.

Copenhagen vs Amsterdam: Which Is The Better Choice?

Overall, there’s clearly lots to love about both Copenhagen and Amsterdam, and it’s no surprise to see so many people heading to these cities each and every year.

Both are truly beautiful, with lots of charm and an array of unique, intriguing attractions and activities, appealing to folks of all ages and from all walks of life.

However, the aim of this guide is to see which city is best, and if we look back over the various categories, it’s Copenhagen that takes the win in the end.

It’s got the better culinary scene, more things for families and couples to do, great shopping, and a really wide range of attractions, from historic buildings and museums to trendy cultural centers and more.

At the same time, Amsterdam is still a very close contender and has lots to offer. Its nightlife scene is just as good as Copenhagen’s if not better, and it also has some must-visit museums and landmarks, along with a truly one-of-a-kind vibe that you really won’t find anywhere else in Europe.

So, even though Copenhagen is probably the No. 1 option, Amsterdam is still absolutely worth visiting.
