Book flights from Male to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways

Regarded by the two million inhabitants and the millions of visitors who come to the Danish capital every year as a “Friendly old girl of a town”, Copenhagen is a city with plenty of character and a unique charm.

Big enough to offer visitors a truly memorable experience, but still small enough to feel intimate and charming, Copenhagen is one of Scandinavia’s jewels.

Book a flight to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways and you’ll land in a city that takes a decidedly laid-back approach to life, but with traditional values of courtesy and warmth towards strangers underpinning their culture. The result is a destination that will draw you back time and again.

Tourist attractions

Copenhagen’s iconic monument has to be the Little Mermaid, a sublimely beautiful bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen that celebrates the life of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.

But this culturally important city also has plenty of other attractions to offer, including a thriving arts scene that’s ably represented by a plethora of galleries and exhibitions. The Danish National Gallery is a great starting point, or visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek gallery for a selection of more classical paintings.

A great, hands-on science attraction is the Experimentarium, while the highly regarded Copenhagen Zoo focuses on conservation, and has an iconic tower that stands in the centre of the zoo.

One of Copenhagen’s most recognisable landmarks is Rundetårn (the Round tower). A climb to the top is well worth it for the spectacular views across the city. And to find out more about Denmark’s rich history visit the Nationalmuseet in Indre By to see an extensive collection of Viking artefacts and treasures.

Travel considerations

Flights to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways land at Kastrup Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Copenhagen please check the visa and passport requirements.

The islands of the Maldives are one of the world’s most popular luxury destinations. As befits such a reputation, the entry and exit point for the islands is just as luxurious as its resorts. Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (also known as Malé International Airport) puts the emphasis very much on the passenger experience from the moment you walk through the terminal doors. 

Surrounded by brilliant blue water and clear skies, this has to be one of the most beautiful settings for an airport, and passengers flying from the Maldives with Qatar Airways will have a lasting memory of this tropical paradise as they take off.

Parking and transportation

Unlike many other airports, the most common form of transport between the airport and the main city of Malé is by speedboat. Local water taxis (known as dhonis) also transport passengers. 

As the airport is located on its own island with no land-based connections to the capital, there are no car parking facilities. Seaplane connections transfer passengers from the outlying islands and resorts to the airport.

Arriving at Ibrahim Nasir International Airport

Passengers flying from the Maldives with Qatar Airways will depart from the International terminal. The airport is relatively small in comparison to many other international air travel hubs, so finding your way around should be quite easy. 

A lounge area is available for passengers to relax in while they wait for their flights.

Facilities and amenities

Ibrahim Nasir International Airport has good facilities for such a proportionally small location, including a range of retail outlets selling local goods (great for those last-minute souvenirs) as well as luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery. 

Free Internet kiosks are located at the Duty Free area and at Departure Gates 1,2 and 3, and a prayer room is also available. There are two mosques five minutes’ walk from the airport.
