Tip: Build museum-heavy days around low-rain forecasts to keep bus rides breezy.

Timing Tricks

  • Ride early/late for easy seats.
  • Eat near stops to cut taxi costs.
  • Do palace towers on clear afternoons.

Food & Transport Savings

  • Torvehallerne for variety without detours
  • Avoid long walks by chaining stops intelligently
  • Screenshot timetables to prevent idle wait time

When Not to Upgrade

  • If you only have ~4 hours, stick to Classic 24h
  • Skip canal cruise in high wind or heavy rain days

Bottom Line

Passes beat piecemeal purchases when you plan at least 6–8 hours of sightseeing across two days.
