Travel Tips
Choose Your Transport Wisely**:
Train**: Opt for the Deutsche Bahn or ΓresundstΓ₯g services for a scenic and comfortable ride. Booking in advance can save you money.
Bus**: Companies like FlixBus are budget-friendly, though the journey takes longer. Book your ticket online to secure the best rates.
Flight**: Flights are quick, taking about 1.5 hours, but factor in airport transfer times and possible delays. Use fare comparison sites to find the best deals.
Car**: If you choose to drive, remember to account for a ferry crossing from Puttgarden to RΓΈdby, which takes about 45 minutes. Book the ferry in advance during peak seasons.
Timing Your Journey**:
Trains and buses can take approximately 7-8 hours, while flights are quicker but require additional time for check-in and security. Start early in the day to maximize your time in Copenhagen.
Luggage Considerations**:
Most trains and buses have generous luggage allowances, but check their specific policies. For flights, adhere to the airline's baggage rules to avoid extra fees. If you're traveling by car, ensure your luggage is secured safely.
Border Crossings**:
While both Germany and Denmark are part of the Schengen Area, be prepared to show identification at the border. Ensure your passport or ID card is easily accessible, and keep an eye on any travel restrictions or requirements.
Stay Connected**:
Download essential travel apps for real-time updates on train/bus schedules or flight information. Consider getting a local SIM card in Denmark for easy navigation and communication upon arrival.
