  • Transportation

    Travelling by railroad and bus in Denmark is rather easy, affordable and convenient. The train leaving directly from the Copenhagen Airport (CPH = Kastrup Lufthavn) can take you to anywhere in Denmark. When you buy your ticket at the train station tell them your actual destination. In most cases you can buy a ticket that takes you all the way, with what-ever combo of trains/busses/ferries it takes - certainly inside the greater Copenhagen area.
