Louisiana is included on the Discover card, not Hop. Adult entry is €19 (145 DKK) without one. It is closed on Mondays and opens until 10pm Tuesday to Friday.
The Discover card covers the museum and the journey. The Hop card covers neither.
The building is a chain of low pavilions threaded through woodland down to the water, so the route is as much walk as gallery. Allow three hours; most people wish they had left four.
Lawns dropping to the Øresund, with Calder mobiles, a Henry Moore and Miró's figures set among the trees — and Sweden visible across the water on a clear day. The ticket covers it, and it cannot be visited without one.
A long room of Giacometti bronzes standing against a glass wall onto the lake — the thin, elongated figures set in daylight rather than under spotlights. The most photographed room in the museum, and deservedly.
Yayoi Kusama's mirrored room, entered a few people at a time for a strictly limited spell inside. It is a permanent work, but the queue is real — go early in the visit rather than saving it for last.
The Monday closure and the late opening are the two facts that decide when to go. Both confirmed against louisiana.dk.
Humlebæk is on the same coastal line as Kronborg, six minutes short of it — which is what makes the two a natural single day. For the full picture, see what the card covers on public transport.
All three are included on the same card, so the only cost of adding them is the time. For the full list, see every attraction the Copenhagen Card covers.
The house at Rungsted where Karen Blixen grew up, returned to and wrote, kept as she left it, with a bird sanctuary in the grounds and her grave under a beech tree.
A private Old Master collection in a purpose-built gallery at Nivå — Italian Renaissance, Dutch Golden Age and Danish work, in a domed room built for it.
Hamlet's Elsinore, guarding the narrowest point of the Øresund, with casemates below and the ballroom above. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Entry is €19 per adult and the return train is about €20 — €39 for the day, before anything else. The Discover card covers both, along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport.
Entry is free on the Copenhagen Card Discover, covering the permanent collection, whatever temporary exhibition is running, and the sculpture park. The Hop card does not include Louisiana — it leaves out day trips beyond Copenhagen. Adult entry is €19.
Louisiana closes every Monday, all year — there is no summer exception. It also shuts on 23, 24, 25 and 31 December and on 1 January. Tuesday to Friday it stays open until 10pm, which makes a late weekday arrival the better plan anyway.
Nothing needs booking — Louisiana runs no timed entry at all. Walk up, show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and go in. The same ticket covers the café, the shop and the sculpture park, none of which can be visited without one.
One scan per attraction applies, so Louisiana is a single visit per card. Worth knowing if you pictured the park in the afternoon and the galleries after dark — do it as one long visit instead, which the 10pm closing Tuesday to Friday makes easy.
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.
