There are several railway companies in Denmark. DSB is the biggest one and is owned by the Danish Ministry of Transport. DSB trains cover the whole country and DSB S-tog cover all suburban rail services in the greater Copenhagen area.

The welcome message is in English and the staff can speak English. Here you can book or buy tickets, get information about train services or other information about DSB.

In Copenhagen, you can also use the METRO. For further information, click here.

There are a lot of different bus companies operating all over Denmark. However, very few of them have an English website. In Frederiksberg, Roskilde and Copenhagen, the buses are run by a bus company called HUR.

A child under the age of 12 travelling alone must pay the child fare (until age 16), which is approximately half the price of an adult fare. Up to two children under 12 years old can travel free when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket or travel card. Up to four children under the age of 12 can travel together on one adult ticket.

You can see the timetables at the bus stops, at the S-stations and online:

Most Danes own a bicycle and Danish children learn to cycle at a young age. 36% of commuters go to work by bike in Copenhagen. Cycling is widely practiced across the country due to the many cycle lanes that provide a safe and secure environment for cyclists. You may notice that a large number of cyclists wear helmets. Doing so is not compulsory (yet) but it is strongly advised especially for children.

When driving a car or motorcycle in Denmark, you always need to carry with you a valid driver’s licence. Seatbelts are compulsory for all passengers including the driver and if you have young children in the car (under 135 cm), they must always use an approved child seat or booster seat which is appropriate to the child’s age, size and weight.

When you drive a car in Denmark, it may be necessary to have your foreign driver’s licence exchanged for a Danish one. Read about the rules here.

If you are bringing a vehicle to Denmark, you need to register it. Read about the rules here.
