Connects Copenhagen with Aarhus, Aalborg and Billund.
Bicycle
Cyclists in Denmark are very well catered for, and there are excellent cycling routes
throughout the country.
It's easy to travel with a bike anywhere in Denmark, even when you're not riding it, as bi-
cycles can be taken on ferries and trains for a modest fee.
Be aware on intercity trains that reservations should be made at least three hours prior to
departure because bikes generally travel in a separate section of the train. For more in-

Hire
Rest assured, you'll be able to hire a bike in almost every Danish town and village. Some
tourist offices, hostels and camping grounds rent them out, and some bike shops provide
a hire service. A few upmarket hotels have free bikes for guest use, while the largest cit-
ies (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg) have a free
bycykler
(town bike) scheme.
Bike-rental prices average around Dkr100/400 per day/week for something basic. Note
that helmets are generally not included with hired bicycles (they are not compulsory in
Denmark).
Boat
Boats link virtually all of Denmark's populated islands; see listings for details. These range
from large high-speed car ferries sailing several times daily, year-round, between Aarhus
and Odden in north Zealand, to small summertime boats ferrying daytrippers to minor is-
lands in the South Funen Archipelago.
A number of islands can only be reached by ferry; expect there to be a year-round ser-
vice. Popular routes include Køge-Bornholm, Svendborg-Ærø, Frederikshavn-Læsø, and
Esbjerg-Fanø, but this list is far from exhaustive. It's a good idea to book car passage in ad-
vance, at any time of year (but especially summer).
