By train

There are direct rail connections to Denmark from Germany and Sweden.


By car

Denmark has only one “land connection” with another country – Germany. The main border crossings are Padborg and Harreslev. However, the Oresund Bridge (Øresundsbroen) also links Denmark with Sweden. Therefore, it is pretty easy to get to Denmark from Sweden and Western Europe.


GETTING AROUND

Copenhagen has a very efficient metro system but it is also possible to travel by bus or S-tog (the overland trains).


By taxi

Taxis can found at taxi stands, hailed in the street or ordered by phone. Vacant taxis have a green light on the roof. All vehicles are equipped with taximeters.
