Xiamen to Copenhagen (XMN–CPH) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Chinese passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Denmark. Apply at the Danish embassy or a VFS Global visa centre in China. The short-stay visa costs EUR 80 and covers stays up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Processing takes 10 to 15 calendar days.

You will need a completed application form, two passport photos, travel insurance with at least EUR 30,000 coverage, flight reservation, hotel bookings, and proof of financial means. Three months of bank statements are standard. Your passport must have at least 3 months validity beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area and 2 blank pages.

The Schengen visa for Denmark also covers Greenland and the Faroe Islands if specifically requested during the application. Otherwise, those territories require a separate visa notation.

Xiamen Metro Line 3 connects the airport to the city centre and Xiamen North Railway Station in 30–40 minutes for CNY 6–8. Airport shuttle buses also serve the ferry terminal and major hotels for CNY 20. The airport is on Xiamen Island, about 12 km from the city centre.DiDi and taxis from downtown cost CNY 40–70 depending on traffic and origin. Driving via Huli Avenue to the airport takes 20–35 minutes. Note that Xiamen Island has limited road capacity on key arteries; evening peak hours can add significant time.

The Metro M2 runs every 4–6 minutes from the airport station to central Copenhagen (15 min, DKK 36 on Rejsekort). DSB regional trains depart for Copenhagen Central Station (13 min) and continue to Malmö (Sweden) via the Øresund Bridge (35 min total from airport). Taxis from arrivals to the city centre cost DKK 250–350; Uber also operates.Terminal 3 (international) and Terminal 2 (domestic/Schengen) are connected by a covered walkway. Rental car desks are in Terminal 3 arrivals. CPH is also a ferry hub; routes to Oslo (DFDS) and Bornholm depart from Copenhagen's harbour, accessible via city transit.

Temperate maritime climate. Winters (November–February) are cold and frequently overcast at −2 to 5°C with rain, sleet, and occasional snow. Copenhagen is better prepared for winter operations than many European cities, but heavy snowfall still causes delays. Fog is a seasonal disruption risk, particularly October through January.

Summers (June–August) are mild and pleasant at 18–24°C with long daylight hours and generally good flying conditions. Wind from the southwest can be strong year-round. CPH has a crosswind reputation. Spring and autumn are transitional and variable.
