Bicycles
If you like to ride a bike, we recommend that you buy a bicycle and take advantage of the many bicycle paths and do as many of the Danes do: ride a bike.
You can buy a new bike at stores like Bilka, Kvickly from about €200. If you are looking for a good bike, go to a bike shop. You can also buy a second-hand bike. Look in the local paper or “Gul og Gratis”. Ask a Danish student to help you read the ads.
Buses
You can take city buses around town. You can buy single tickets and a monthly card that gives you free access to all the city buses. There are also buses between cities. Generally buses make stops by the train station
Trains
You can take the train to most major cities in Denmark and of course travel to all over Europe. You can book tickets through the travel planner for Danish trains. You can book a seat for an additional DKK 20 (€2.7).
If you travel with a city bus to the train station in connection with your train ride, you can use your train ticket for the bus as well. The exception is if you booked your ticket and printed it out from the internet.
Reductions
You can travel at a considerably reduced rate if you purchase the so-called “orange tickets”. For more information contact DSB.
If you are between 16-25 years old, you also have the possibility of purchasing a DSB WildCard. With this card you can get reductions on train tickets bought for DSB trains. The reduction is 50% if you travel Mondays – Thursdays and/or Saturdays and 25% if you travel Fridays and/or Sundays. The card costs about DKK 200 a year.
