Getting around by train Denmark

Every day, almost 100,000 passengers pass through the Central Station. It is the main hub of the national railway network. You will find many shops, a Tourist Information Point, open Monday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm, and a cash dispenser where you can buy Danish kroner. Three other stations, Østerport, Verterport and Nørreport, mark out the transit from the city to the suburbs with the S-Tog, the equivalent of the French RER.

Odense station is a city within a city, a huge centre where you can find the city's central library, a cinema and many shops. Practical: the automatic lockers where you can leave your luggage. Several trains connect Copenhagen and Odense (every hour), the journey takes 1h15 by fast train. There is also a direct train from the capital airport. Frequent regional trains to Svendborg, Kolding and Aarhus. All information on the DSB website.

DSB is the Danish railway company. It was created in 1885 with the merger of Zeeland Railways (a public company) and the Funen and Jutland company. It manages a very dense network in the whole country thanks to the bridges which connect Seeland to Fionie or Jutland. The line that connects Helsingør to Sweden serves the Danish Riviera. The train stops at all stations in Copenhagen and serves Kastrup airport, approximately every 10-15 minutes.

The impressive and monumental Aalborg railway station is part of the Danish national heritage. Dating from 1869 and enlarged in 1902, this station offers connections between Aalborg and the country's main cities: Intercity trains to Frederikshavn and Copenhagen, regional trains to Aarhus and local trains to Skørping and Skagen. Please remember to print out your ticket before boarding, as DSB staff do not accept e-tickets at present
