Tips on traveling in
Denmark:
If you plan to drive in Denmark, read my articles on
driving in Europe and
car rentals: when to rent, when to lease. For
train travel, consider a rail pass from our
partner, Rail
Europe .
(You can even get passes that combine rail travel with a rental
car.)
Central Copenhagen is more compact than megacities like Paris,
London, or Rome. If you're healthy and don't mind walking, you won't need to
bother with buses or trains very often.
The bus and S-train system is most useful for visits to
attractions in the suburbs and outlying areas, such as Frederiksborg Castle in
Hillerød and the Open-Air Museum (Frilandsmuseet) in Lyngby.
Driving is easier in Copenhagen than in many European cities, at
least when you get away from the center of town. The motorways, especially, are
comparable to freeways in North America. U.S. suburbanites will feel at home as
they watch Volvo drivers change lanes without signaling or block traffic in the
far left lane.
