In-Depth Information
Taxi
Taxis are generally readily available for hire in city centres, near major shopping centres
and at train stations. If you see a taxi with a lit
fri
sign (or a green light), you can wave it
down, or you can phone for a taxi instead - hotels and tourist offices have numbers for
local companies.
Tipping is included in the fare.
You can pay by cash or credit card.
Train
Denmark has a very reliable train system with reasonable fares and frequent services.
The network extends to most corners of the country, with the exception of the southern
islands and a pocket of northwestern Jutland. In these areas, a good network of local
buses connects towns.
Most long-distance trains on major routes operate at least hourly throughout the day.
Types of DSB trains include the following:
InterCity
(IC) Modern comforts.
InterCityLyn
(ICL) On certain well-travelled routes. Same facilities as InterCity, but with
fewer stops.
Regionaltog
Regional trains; reservations generally not accepted.
S-tog
The combined urban and suburban rail network of Greater Copenhagen. For more

Fares & Discounts
Standard train fares work out to be a fraction over Dkr1 per kilometre, with the highest fare
possible between any two points in Denmark topping out at around Dkr500 (Copenhagen to
Skagen, a road distance of 525km).
The reservation fee for a seat
(pladsbillet)
is Dkr30.
Note that the 'Stillezone' on trains is a quiet zone.
Bikes can be taken on many trains, but you need to buy a ticket
(cykelbillet)
for them on
regional and intercity trains (price varies with distance travelled, but is generally quite
cheap). It's free to take a bike on the S-tog.
