TRAIN INFO

Danish State Railways (DSB)
DSB and a small number of private railway companies cover Denmark with a dense network of train services supplemented by buses on quieter stretches.

Travelling by train in Denmark is an efficient and comfortable way to get from one part of the country to another. On most of the longer sections the train is faster than going by car or by plane. Hourly services of modern InterCity trains connect Copenhagen and Zealand with the main towns, and three times per hour a train leaves for Odense on Funen.

The InterCityLyn trains reach Aarhus from Copenhagen in less than 3 hours and Odense is only 1 ¼ hours train journey away from Copenhagen.

Regional trains link local and rural halts all over Denmark. In most Regional trains it is possible to bring bicycles.

S-tog (S-trains) is the rail service of Copenhagen. S-trains run every 5 to 10 minutes during the day and at longer intervals during the evenings.

InterCity (IC) trains
Inter City calls at most main city stations every hour. As a rule Inter City links Zealand, Funen and Jutland, starting and ending in Copenhagen. Inter City lets you choose between second class and first class. Second class includes only the trip and offers no additional service but on most trains trolley service of snacks, drinks and confectionery is available. First class offers a complementary buffet with coffee, tea and soft drinks at your disposal and you are also served a roll or cake.

InterCityLyn
InterCityLyn is a fast train with fewer stops. On InterCityLyn you can choose between second class and first class. As of January 1st, 2007, new high quality (IC4) trains will gradually run on the main sections.

No reservations are required for use of InterCity or InterCityLyn trains although they are recommended during peak hours.

Öresund Trains
Travelling time between Copenhagen and Malmö (Sweden) is about 35 minutes. The new specially designed Öresund Trains will cross the bridge every 20 minutes. The Öresund train runs the whole way round Öresund from Helsinger in Denmark via Copenhagen and Malmö to Helsingborg and other cities in Sweden.

 

AIRPORT CONNECTIONS
Most international flights to and from Denmark arrive and depart from Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup. Trains to Copenhagen Central run every 10 minutes with connections to the rest of Denmark. The journey only takes 12 minutes. From early morning to late evening passengers can get to and from Copenhagen Airport to and from the rest of Denmark.

 

VISIT WONDERFUL COPENHAGEN
Copenhagen is a vibrant modern city founded on rich history and culture. Go to Copenhagen to find contrast and surprise, from water sports in its sparkling clean beaches to 15th century paintings and sculptures at the National Gallery using one of the most beautiful cities in Europe as a backdrop.

The Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairy tale about her, Disney produced the movie, and Copenhagen maintains a statue in her honour. The Little Mermaid continues to be the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark and one of the most photographed statues in the world.

Strøget
Copenhagen's largest shopping area is centred on Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, and the streets that surround it. Find Louis Vuitton, Prada, Max Mara, Chanel, Hermès and many more designers all on the same street.

The National Museum and The Viking Ship Museum
For a trip back in time, a visit to Copenhagen is well worth it. The National Museum is Denmark's largest museum of cultural history. The museum's main domicile is a classical 18th century mansion just a stone's throw from 'Strøget' at the center of Copenhagen.

The Viking Ship Museum is located at the foot of Roskilde Fjord beside the Roskilde harbour, approximately 30 kilometres from Copenhagen. In 1962, five Viking ships were rescued and resurrected from the harbour.

Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens, the highly popular amusement park, is usually top of everyone's list of places to visit. Founded in 1843 it is a beautiful, romantic park with lanterns in the trees that create a unique atmosphere. It has a wealth of high-class restaurants and stages for music and theatre.

Few minutes walk from the City Hall Square in the centre of Copenhagen, you will find Tivoli, no doubt among the top ten attractions in Copenhagen. Traditions in the form of an original pantomime theatre dating back to 1874, and brand new thrilling rides such as The Deamon a three-loop roller coaster, The Golden Tower with a fabulous view and a very fast drop! The Monsoon - may the G-force be with you! and many more.

Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg Castle is not only a beautiful historic building, it is also a fascinating museum of cultural history which houses some of Denmark’s greatest cultural treasures, such as the Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia. The museum tells the history of the Danish kings through 300 years, from Frederik II in the late 16th century to Frederik VII in the 19th century; the history of the kings since then feature in the Amalienborg Museum.
