The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at the Planetarium

Both cards cover admission and one film. The film is the point of the visit, so that inclusion matters more here than at most venues.

Copenhagen Card
What's included
Discover & Hop

✓ The astronomy exhibition and the space science displays
✓ Included on both cards — Discover and Hop alike
✓ Open every day of the week, Mondays included
At your own cost
Not included
Both cards
✗ Additional films beyond the one in the ticket
✗ The café and anything from the shop
✗ Evening events and ticketed talks outside the normal programme
Inside

What to see at the Planetarium

A cylindrical brick building on the lake at Gl. Kongevej, built around a dome cinema. Allow an hour and a half, most of it in the theatre.

Highlight 1
The dome film

The reason to come, and the reason the ticket price is what it is. One screening is included with the card rather than sold on top, so check the schedule and plan your arrival around a showing rather than the other way round.

Highlight 2
The astronomy exhibition

Space science and astronomy displays around the theatre, which is where you spend the time before and after your screening. Enough to fill the gap, not enough to be the whole visit.

Highlight 3
The building on the lake

Set on Sankt Jørgens Sø with the water on one side and Vesterbro behind it. Five minutes from Vesterport station and an easy walk from Tivoli, which is what makes it fit into a centre-of-town day.

Before you visit

Read before you go

Two things decide whether this visit works: which film is showing, and in what language. Confirmed against planetarium.dk.

Check the film is in English
  • Films are often shown in Danish. English screenings run, but not at every showing.
  • Check the schedule for an English screening before you set off, and plan your arrival around that time.
  • The film is the substance of the visit — arriving between screenings leaves you with the exhibition alone.
Open every day, but Mondays are short
  • Open every day of the week, Mondays included — one of only a handful of card venues that are.
  • Monday hours are short: 12pm–6pm. Friday runs late, to 9:30pm.
  • Closed on 24, 25 and 31 December, and opens at noon on 1 January.
Not for the youngest children
  • The Planetarium does not recommend the dome films for under-3s. The theatre is dark, loud and disorienting for very small children.
  • Entry including one film is €25 (185 DKK) for an adult and 115 DKK for a child, so two adults and two children come to 600 DKK, about €80 without cards.
  • For older children it is one of the stronger family stops in the centre — the rest of that arithmetic is in our guide to the card with children.
Getting there

How to get to the Planetarium

Gl. Kongevej 10, on the lake five minutes from Vesterport. Entry is on both cards; the journey is only on one.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Five minutes on foot from Vesterport station, along the lake.
✓ About ten minutes from Copenhagen Central, past Tivoli and around the corner.
✓ Buses along Gl. Kongevej stop close by and are covered.
✓ From the airport — the train to Copenhagen Central or Vesterport, covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✓ Entry is included on the Hop card — the Planetarium is covered by both.
✓ The hop-on hop-off bus runs through the Tivoli and town hall area, a short walk away.
✗ Trains, city buses and the metro are not covered on the Hop card.
The centre is ten minutes away
  • Tivoli Gardens is about ten minutes on foot, and the card covers garden entry — though the gardens close between seasons.
  • Glyptoteket is beside Tivoli, closed Mondays but open to 9pm on Thursdays.
  • The Museum of Copenhagen is a similar walk into Vesterbro, and much quieter than either.
Plan the rest of the day

Nearby attractions also on your card

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.

Gardens · 10 min walk · Allow 3+ hrs

Tivoli Gardens

The 1843 pleasure gardens beside the main station. The card covers garden entry; the rides are a separate Ride Pass at 309–349 DKK.

Seasonal — the gardens close between seasons, so check the dates.
Art Museum · 12 min walk · Allow 1.5 hrs

Glyptoteket

Antiquities and 19th-century French art around a glass-domed winter garden. Open until 9pm on Thursdays.

Closed Mondays, when the Planetarium is open — the two cover each other.
City Museum · 10 min walk · Allow 1.5 hrs

Museum of Copenhagen

The city's own story from the medieval settlement to now, in a rebuilt hall on Stormgade. Quieter than anything else in the area.

Good third stop on a centre-of-town card day.

Common questions

Planetarium — card FAQ

Is Planetarium included with the Copenhagen Card?

Admission plus one film is free on both the Discover and Hop cards. Without one, entry including a film is €25 (185 DKK) for an adult and 115 DKK for a child. Extra films beyond the one in the ticket are not included.

Is Planetarium open on Mondays?

The Planetarium opens every day of the week, Mondays included, which puts it in a small group with Copenhagen Zoo, Experimentarium and the Viking Ship Museum. Monday hours are short though — 12pm to 6pm. Friday runs late, to 9:30pm.

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

Admission needs no booking, but the film seat is worth securing, and English screenings do not run at every showing. Check the schedule at planetarium.dk and plan your arrival around a film in a language you understand.

Can I visit Planetarium twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, and the card covers one film with it. Seeing a second film means buying that screening separately. An hour and a half covers the exhibition and one showing comfortably.

How do I get into Planetarium 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.
