The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at Køge Museum

The Discover card covers the museum and the train down to Køge. Two things to settle before the rest: the museum does not publish an adult admission price, and the opening days run backwards.

Copenhagen Card
What's included
Discover only
✓ The museum, and the courtyard and Daldorph House on the same admission
✓ Under-18s free when they come with an adult
✓ The train to Køge, covered on Discover
At your own cost
Not included
Both cards
✗ The Hop card — Køge is a day trip, which that card excludes entirely
✗ Sundays, for most of the season — the museum closes on the day most venues open
✗ A second visit. One scan per attraction, so the card opens this door once
Inside

What to see at Køge Museum

The story of a medieval market town, told inside it, with a courtyard and a second historic house on the same ticket. Allow an hour.

Highlight 1
A town museum in a real town

Køge is a working market town rather than a preserved one, and the museum is about the place you walked through to reach it. That connection is the whole argument for a local museum, and it is stronger here than in a city.

Highlight 2
The courtyard and Daldorph House

Both keep the museum’s hours and are part of the same admission, so the visit is three buildings rather than one. It makes an hour go further than the floor plan suggests.

Highlight 3
It shares the building with the town archives

Køge City Historical Archives occupy the same premises and keep their own hours, which is worth knowing if you arrive to find one part open and another shut. The museum’s hours are the ones that matter for the card.

Before you visit

Read before you go

The opening pattern here is the reverse of almost every other card venue, and it is the thing to get right. Confirmed against museerne.dk.

Open Mondays, closed Sundays — the reverse of the usual
  • From 1 July to 31 October 2026 it opens Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, and closes on Sundays. Almost every other card venue does the opposite.
  • The season runs 17 January to 20 December 2026, so the museum is open well beyond that summer window — check the current hours before a winter visit.
  • It also opens daily, 10am to 4pm, on the four Advent Sundays. Those are the exception to the Sunday closure, not a change to it. Being open on a Monday puts it on our list of what is open on a Monday.
The museum does not publish an adult admission price
  • The museum does not publish an adult admission price. Its official page lists concession rates only — students, seniors and several membership schemes — and a concession is not an admission price, so this page states neither.
  • Køge Museum therefore counts nothing toward a break-even total and is left out of our calculator. A figure nobody can verify cannot be presented as a saving.
  • Coverage is settled. The Discover card includes entry, and the train to Køge with it. Under-18s are free with an adult.
Two more card venues on the same trip
  • MAPS is in the same town — the only museum in Denmark about art made for public space, and also on the card.
  • Mosede Fort is up the coast at Karlslunde, about halfway back to Copenhagen.
  • Køge is about 35 minutes by train, so the three together make a comfortable day on one fare — see what each card covers on public transport.
Getting there

How to get to Køge Museum

Køge is about 35 minutes south of Copenhagen by train, and the museum is in the old town. All of it is on the Discover card.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Train from Copenhagen Central to Køge — about 35 minutes, and the fare is covered.
✓ Then a short walk into the market town from Køge station.
✓ The Discover card covers the whole Capital Region, so Køge costs nothing beyond the card.
✓ From the airport — train to Copenhagen Central, then south. All covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✗ Køge Museum is not included on the Hop card — neither the entry nor the train.
✗ The hop-on hop-off routes stay inside Copenhagen and do not reach Køge.
✗ Discover is the card that covers Køge, and it covers both venues in the town.
The rest of a Køge day
  • MAPS is in the same town, holding the sketches and models behind art that stands in streets elsewhere.
  • Mosede Fort is at Karlslunde on the way back, with a free guided introduction at noon.
  • ARKEN is further north at Ishøj, with modern art and a sculpture park by the beach.

Common questions

Køge Museum — card FAQ

Is Køge Museum included with the Copenhagen Card?

The Copenhagen Card Discover covers entry, the courtyard and Daldorph House, and the train to Køge with it. Under-18s are free with an adult. The museum publishes concession rates only and no adult admission price, so this page states no figure. The Hop card excludes Køge.

Is Køge Museum open on Mondays?

It opens on Mondays and closes on Sundays instead, which is the reverse of almost every other card venue. From 1 July to 31 October 2026 the hours are Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. The four Advent Sundays are the exception, when it opens daily.

Do I need to book Køge Museum in advance with the Copenhagen Card?

Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in. The building is shared with Køge City Historical Archives, which keeps its own hours — the museum hours are the ones that matter here.

Can I visit Køge Museum twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. MAPS in the same town counts as its own attraction and its own scan, which is what makes Køge a half-day rather than one stop.

How do I get into Køge Museum with the Copenhagen Card?

Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
