Pricing Analysis & Important Details
01. The Copenhagen Card is priced in EUR, but every individual attraction is priced in DKK
Confirmed directly on copenhagencard.com, which lists all card tiers in Euros — while Tivoli Gardens, Rosenborg Castle, and every other individual Copenhagen attraction in this comparison price their own tickets in Danish Kroner (DKK) on their own official sites. This mirrors the same deliberate mixed-currency pattern documented for the Budapest Card.
02. Go City does not currently sell a Copenhagen pass
Confirmed directly on gocity.com: Copenhagen is absent from Go City's European destination list (which includes Amsterdam, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and others).
03. Rundetaarn is confirmed absent from the Copenhagen Card entirely
Unlike most of this comparison's attractions, Rundetaarn does not appear on the Copenhagen Card's own official attractions list, and Rundetaarn's own visitor page makes no mention of the card — no discount of any kind was found, at either DISCOVER or HOP tier.
04. Tivoli Gardens uses genuinely date-dependent dynamic pricing
Tivoli's own ticket shop confirms entrance prices vary by calendar date and, on some dates, by arrival time — there is no single official adult price, only a range confirmed directly on shop.tivoli.dk.
