7.5hr layover in CPH, non-EU passports, 2 big bags. Worth leaving the airport?
Landing in Copenhagen 07:10, connecting flight isn’t until 16:25, so we’ve got about 7.5 hours to kill. Trying to figure out if it’s worth heading into the city or just staying put.
Couple things I’m trying to figure out:
We’re both non-EU passport holders. How long does immigration usually take at CPH around 7am? Just want a realistic sense of how much of the 7.5 hours actually disappears at the border.
On the way back, how much buffer should we leave to clear security and get to the gate before a 16:25 departure?
We’ll have 2 large check-in bags with us since they’re not through-checked. Is there luggage storage or lockers landside big enough for full size suitcases? Trying to figure out if dragging them into the city is even realistic or if we should just park them somewhere.
If it’s doable, what’s actually worth seeing in that kind of window? Thinking maybe Nyhavn or just a walk around the harbour, but open to other ideas if something’s closer or less of a rush.
Anyone done a layover like this before, would love to hear how it played out time-wise. Thanks in advance for any tips, really appreciate it!
