I was afraid it was a scam but the card is definitely worth it. We took 72 hours and had a wide choice, all the major museums are included, as well as the train, even outside of Copenhagen! It's really not expensive if you plan to make as many visits as possible compared to the unit price of the entries. We went there in low season and although the card does not skip the line, we did not wait anywhere. Please note that many museums open late and close early in winter (10 a.m. - 3 p.m. sometimes). It takes organization. The transfer is done only digitally via the application which works well and is rather practical

We took the pass for two days and were a little bit concerned that we wouldn’t have time to do a lot of activities but we sure did save a lot ! Since public transportation is included in the pass, it’s easy to go from a destination to another without worrying and you can change your plans on your way. The activities were great (you HAVE to do the Palm House !) and we enjoyed every second of it. We were a little bit disappointed by the planetarium but happy we had the pass and didn’t pay for that. Overall, I would totally recommend going for it !

A great museum, offers a great overview of Denmark's history from the Stone Age to today. Divided into several floors. Calculate enough time.

Great museum, lots to see and read about. You could easily spend a whole day here, so I’d bear that in mind when planning!

its amazing and huge! I would definitely recommend people to take a day or half a day, 5 hours as minimun!
