Visitors usually arrive in Copenhagen, either flying in to gleaming Kastrup Airport or pulling in to the city’s Central Station, connected with the European rail network via Germany and, across the spectacular Øresund bridge, to Sweden. Most international buses also arrive at Central Station. In addition, the regional airports at Aalborg, Århus and Billund handle a growing number of budget flights, mostly operated by Ryanair. There are regular ferry services to Sweden/Norway (via Frederikshavn or Hirtshals) and a rather lengthier connection to the Faroe Islands/Iceland (via Hirtshals).

Transport planning is often the foundation of a realistic itinerary. Rough Guides works with vetted Denmark local experts who create personalized trip plans from scratch around arrival points, travel times, regional connections, and the way you prefer to travel. You can compare up to 3 different itineraries and refine the preferred route together with the local travel agent before the trip is finalized.
