Driving Tips for Copenhagen
These Denmark driving tips will help you get comfortable navigating your rental car in Copenhagen:
- A bike-friendly city: In your car rental in Copenhagen, you will find yourself sharing the road with cyclists. Always give cyclists the right of way.
- Headlights stay on: When you drive your car rental in Copenhagen, you must always have your headlights on, even during the day, when you should set them to low beam.
- Right of way: If you see a bold line on the road, a line of white shark-teeth-like triangles painted on the road, or a white triangle outlined in red, this means you have to stop and give right of way to the traffic on the road you are about to join.
- Speed limits: Within Copenhagen’s city center, the speed limit is 40 km/h (24 mph). Otherwise, inside city boundaries, the speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). Outside the city, the limit increases to 80–90 km/h (49–55 mph). Highways and freeways max out at 110–130 km/h (68–80 mph).
Best places to visit in and around Copenhagen
When you opt for a car rental in Copenhagen through SIXT, you can set your own agenda when it comes to seeing the sights:
- The Six Forgotten Giants: Artist Thomas Dambo crafted these oversized sculptures from scavenged wood and scattered them throughout the outlying suburbs. Finding them is the perfect activity when you have a car in Copenhagen.
- Nyhavn: Spend an afternoon visiting this colorful, iconic waterfront district that was once home to Hans Christian Andersen. Once you drive to this northeastern section of the city, park outside the district and explore the shops, restaurants, and more on foot.
- Rosenborg Castle: This 17th-century, well-preserved Renaissance palace in the center of the city offers spiral staircases, thrones, sculptures, paintings, and so much more. Park just a 10-minute walk away, at the three-level Q-Park Nørreport.
