Copenhagen luggage storage compared

Which option is best depends on where your day starts and ends, how many bags you have and how long you need. This is how they compare.

Luggage storage at Copenhagen Central Station (DSB lockers)

Copenhagen Central Station, København H, is where trains from the airport, Malmö, Hamburg and the rest of Denmark arrive, and it is right next to Tivoli and City Hall Square. The station's luggage facility is the DSB Baggage Center, by the exit to Reventlowsgade on the Istedgade side of the building; follow the suitcase signs. It has two parts.

• Self-service lockers: a small locker (35 × 45 × 90 cm) costs from DKK 70 and a large one (35 × 60 × 90 cm) about DKK 90 to 95, per 24 hours of continuous use. You pay by card at the payment unit and get a receipt with a QR code; take a photo of it as a back-up, because there is a fee if you lose it. If you go over 24 hours, you pay the extra days when you collect. A locker can be used for up to seven days.
• Staffed left luggage: for bags that do not fit, prams and bikes. Small items from DKK 75 and large ones from DKK 95, per item per started 24 hours, for up to 10 days.
• Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 05:30 to 01:00, Sundays and public holidays 06:00 to 01:00. On 24 December it is open only from 08:00 to 16:00 and on 31 December from 08:00 to 17:00. You cannot collect your bags outside these hours, so check them against your train time before you go.

Because you pay per locker, not per bag, the DSB lockers are good value if you can fit two or three smaller bags into one. In summer and on busy weekends the lockers can all be in use, so have a back-up plan. With your bags stored, Tivoli is across the road: check Tivoli entry for your date (Tiqets), from DKK 200. Christmas in Tivoli runs from 13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.

Left luggage at Copenhagen Airport

The airport's own luggage storage at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is self-service lockers in two car parks, not a counter in the terminals:

• P4: on the ground floor, in the Kiss & Fly area directly across from the Terminal 2 entrance.
• P7A: the car park under the Clarion Hotel, right next to the metro station and Terminal 3.

Prices are by the hour, with a daily cap: a small locker (28 × 50.5 × 60.2 cm) from DKK 50 an hour, maximum DKK 100 a day; a large locker (43 × 50.5 × 60.2 cm) from DKK 80 an hour, maximum DKK 150; and a checked-bag locker (34 × 55 × 83.7 cm) from DKK 100 an hour, maximum DKK 200. P4 also has bigger lockers for very large cases and ski or golf bags. The lockers cannot be reserved, so on a busy day they can be full. All of this is outside security, so store your bags before you check in, and leave time to collect them.

For staffed storage, Copenhagen Luggage Service has an office in Terminal 3, open from 7:00 to 19:00. It stores bags of any size, from hours to weeks, with a minimum of about €30 for the first night, and it can also deliver bags to your hotel or cruise ship. It is a private company, not run by the airport.

On a long layover, a locker in P7A is the one to use: it is a minute from the metro, which reaches the city centre in about 15 minutes. Our Copenhagen layover guide works out how much time you really have, and the airport to city centre guide covers tickets. On a very early flight, it can be easier to sleep at the airport: Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport (Booking.com) is above the P7A lockers and next to Terminal 3.

Luggage storage for cruise passengers

Copenhagen has three cruise berths: Ocean Quay (Oceankaj) in Nordhavn, used by the largest ships, and Langelinie and Nordre Toldbod, close to the Little Mermaid. The terminals are for checking in and handling the ship's luggage, not for storing your bags for the day. Your cruise line will usually take your cases at check-in on embarkation day, often from late morning, but not hours earlier. That leaves three options:

• Store bags in the city. If you land in the morning and sail in the afternoon, ride the metro from the airport to Kongens Nytorv or Central Station, leave your bags in a locker or with an app booking near the station, see the old town and collect them on the way to the port. From Kongens Nytorv, the M4 metro goes to Orientkaj for the bus to Ocean Quay.
• Send them ahead. Copenhagen Luggage Service collects bags from the cruise terminal (before 9:00 on disembarkation day), from hotels or from private addresses, and takes them to the airport, a hotel or straight to your cabin on the ship, from €12.95 per bag with a minimum order of €38.
• Take a car. With two big suitcases each, a fixed-price car from the airport to the ship or hotel is often the least stressful way: pre-book a Copenhagen airport transfer (Welcome Pickups).

Our Copenhagen cruise port guide explains which terminal your ship uses and how to get there. Once the bags are gone, a shore excursion or short city tour (GetYourGuide) fits neatly into a few hours, as long as it ends well before all-aboard.

Luggage storage apps: Radical Storage, Bounce, Nannybag and LuggageHero

Several companies let you book storage online at partner shops, cafés and hotels, where staff keep your bags in a back room. You book on the website or app, show a QR code on arrival and pick up with the same code. On 29 October 2026, these were the main ones in Copenhagen:

• Radical Storage: about 70 locations, from €1.90 for the smallest items and about €3.90 per bag per day for most central spots.
• Bounce: about 55 locations, from €2.50 per day at some, and about €4.50 per bag per day at most central spots, including several near Central Station.
• Nannybag: about 58 locations, from €2.50 per day for a small bag and about €4.40 to €4.90 for a regular suitcase.
• LuggageHero: the one with hourly prices, from about DKK 10 to 15 an hour or DKK 45 to 55 a day, plus a one-time DKK 20 service fee per bag.

All four include some cover for loss or damage, but the amount differs, so read the terms if you are storing something valuable. The main things to check are the opening hours (many shops open at 9:00 or 10:00 and close by 18:00 to 21:00, which is no use for a late train), the walk from the location to your station, and the price per bag, because two suitcases cost twice as much. We do not have a favourite: pick the location that suits your route.

Tips for layover, cruise and check-out days

• Check-out day: ask your hotel first. Most Copenhagen hotels store bags for free on the day you leave, which beats paying for a locker. Apartments are the exception.
• Store bags where your day ends, not where it starts. If your train leaves from Central Station, store near Central Station. If you fly out, the airport lockers save a trip back into town.
• Watch closing times. The DSB Baggage Center closes at 01:00 and app locations often by 18:00 to 21:00. Your bags are locked in until they reopen.
• Keep valuables with you. Passports, medicine, laptops and anything you need for the flight stay in your day bag. Lockers and apps are not for valuables.
• Layover maths: collecting a bag from P4 or P7A takes 10 to 15 minutes, and Copenhagen Airport advises being back 2 hours before a Schengen flight and 3 hours before others.
• Cruise mornings are busy. Lockers and app spots near Central Station can fill up on summer days when several ships are in, so book an app slot ahead or arrive early.

What to do once your bags are stored

With a few hours free, a canal tour shows you the most of the city in the least time: book the Stromma Classic Canal Tour (Tiqets), from DKK 157 online. If you are doing several paid sights in a day, the 24-hour Copenhagen Card DISCOVER (Tiqets) from DKK 589 also covers the metro to the airport. For a timed walk through the old town, see our one day in Copenhagen itinerary, or compare guided walking tours (GetYourGuide).

Staying an extra night instead? A hotel near the station means you can drop your bags at reception and walk to the train: hotels in Vesterbro by Central Station (Booking.com). Our where to stay in Copenhagen guide compares the areas.

Copenhagen luggage storage: FAQ

Where can I store luggage at Copenhagen Central Station?

DSB, the Danish rail operator, runs self-service lockers and a staffed left-luggage counter at the Baggage Center by the Reventlowsgade exit of Copenhagen Central Station (København H), on the Istedgade side. Lockers cost from DKK 70 for 24 hours (about US$10.50), and the staffed counter takes bikes, prams and bags that do not fit a locker, from DKK 75 per item per 24 hours. It is open from 05:30 to 01:00 Monday to Saturday and from 06:00 to 01:00 on Sundays and public holidays, with shorter hours on 24 and 31 December.

Is there left luggage at Copenhagen Airport?

Yes. Copenhagen Airport has self-service luggage lockers on the ground floor of car park P4, in the Kiss & Fly area opposite the Terminal 2 entrance, and in P7A, under the Clarion Hotel next to the metro and Terminal 3. A small locker costs from DKK 50 an hour up to a maximum of DKK 100 a day, and larger sizes cost more. The lockers cannot be reserved. For staffed storage, Copenhagen Luggage Service has an office in Terminal 3, open from 7:00 to 19:00, with a minimum charge of about €30 for the first night.

How much does luggage storage cost in Copenhagen?

The cheapest options for a full day are the luggage apps, from about €2.50 to €4.50 per bag per day at shops and hotels in the centre, and the DSB lockers at Central Station, from DKK 70 for 24 hours for a whole locker. Airport lockers cost from DKK 50 an hour and from DKK 100 a day for a small locker. Prices change, so check the current rate before you go.

Can I leave luggage at the Copenhagen cruise terminals?

Do not count on it. The cruise terminals at Ocean Quay (Oceankaj), Langelinie and Nordre Toldbod are not luggage stores, and your ship normally takes bags only at check-in on embarkation day. If you have hours to fill before boarding or after leaving the ship, store your bags in the city near Central Station or Kongens Nytorv, or use a forwarding service such as Copenhagen Luggage Service, which moves bags between the port, hotels and the airport from €12.95 per bag (minimum order €38).

Can I store luggage in Copenhagen for just a few hours?

Yes. The airport lockers charge by the hour, from DKK 50, and LuggageHero lists Copenhagen shops from about DKK 10 to 15 an hour plus a one-time DKK 20 service fee per bag. The DSB lockers at Central Station and most app-based storage charge by the day, so for anything over three or four hours a daily price is usually cheaper.

Will my hotel store luggage before check-in or after check-out?

Almost always, and it is usually free. Most Copenhagen hotels keep bags at reception for guests on the day of arrival and departure. Apartments and short-term rentals often cannot, which is when a locker or an app booking is worth it. Ask when you book, not on the day.
