Spending the Night at the Airport

Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport (CPH) is known for being one of the most comfortable airports to spend the night in, especially for passengers in transit or with early flights. The terminals remain open 24 hours and offer several services, making it a convenient option to avoid additional expenses on transfers and hotels.

Where to Rest

The boarding areas are usually the most suitable for finding a quiet spot. Comfortable chairs can be found in various locations. Some of the areas recommended by travellers include:

• Near gates C70 and D1.
• The A and B concourses, which are usually quieter at night.
• Near gates C2 and C3, where sofas with dim lighting and power outlets for charging devices can be found.
• In Terminal 2, near the toilets and by gates A18-A34, seats without armrests can be found.
• Near gate C10 in Terminal 3, where there are comfortable armchairs.

To secure a good spot, it is recommended to arrive before midnight. Bringing a blanket and an eye mask is advisable, as the airport can get chilly at night and some areas may remain lit.

Nearby Accommodation Options

For a more comfortable rest, the Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport is directly connected to Terminal 3, offering a premium option without leaving the airport. Alternatively, you may consider accessing the VIP lounges (although most close between 20:00 and 21:00 and reopen from 5:00).

Food and Drink

Although most food outlets and shops operate during limited hours (generally between 6:00 and 22:00), there are 24-hour options such as Burger King, Copenhagen Coffee Lab, and SMAG for those spending the night.
