Rules in force · 10Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Cycle lanes are fast traffic
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
  • Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
  • Denmark ↗Denmark is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; Greenland and the Faroe Islands have separate entry arrangements.
  • Denmark ↗Bike lanes are busy fast lanes: do not walk or stand in them, and signal before you stop if you cycle.
  • Denmark ↗Denmark is close to cashless: cards and phone payments work almost everywhere, even for small amounts.
  • Copenhagen and Zealand ↗Buy train tickets in the DOT or DSB app before you board; check the last return before you leave.
  • Copenhagen ↗Cycle lanes are fast traffic: do not stand or walk in them, and wheel large suitcases on the pavement, not the lane.
  • Copenhagen ↗Cards and phone payments work almost everywhere; some cafés no longer take cash.

Questions and answers

answered by Voykit editors · dated
Do I need the ride pass?

Not unless you plan several rides. Entry alone covers the gardens, concerts and the evening lights; many visitors just walk and eat.

Checked 2026-09-29 · Voykit desk

Is it open in January?

Usually not. Tivoli runs set seasons, and a winter gap is normal; check the official calendar for your dates.
