Roads
The Danish roads are among the best in the world. The towns in Denmark are often connected by roads going straight from one town to the other and by smaller roads, with less traffic, making them suitable for cycling. Motorways are found in most parts of the country free of charge. Only the motorways crossing the Great Belt Bridge and the Oresund connection require payment.
The E-numbers of the Danish motorways are adjusted to the European E-road number system, making the road numbers correspond across boarders.
The following E-numbers are found in Denmark:
E20 - Esbjerg - Copenhagen
E45 - Frederikshavn - Frøslev
E47 - Helsingør - Rødbyhavn
E55 - Helsingør - Gedser
E39 - Hirstshals - Aalborg (will be ready by October 2004)
The Great Belt Bridge
The Great Belt Bridge connects Sealand and Funen and is open 24 hours a day. Under extreme weather conditions caravan and trailers might have to wait on either side of the bridge.
Payment for crossing the bridge takes place in specific areas of payment, and it is possible to pay with both cash and credit cards. However, payment in cash must take place at a specific box of payment. The following credit cards are accepted: Visa Cards, Diners, American Express, JCB, and Masters.
The Oresund Connection
The Oresund Fixed Link between Denmark and Sweden is a 16-kilometre-long combined bridge and tunnel for cars and trains connecting Copenhagen with Malmö in Sweden. The area of payment for cars is situated on the Swedish side of the bridge.
With a so-called BroBizz, a discount is given to private cars and small trucks. It is possible to pay with both cash (personal assistance) and credit cards (automatic assistance).
Busses
With the Danish coaches and busses, you can get from one end of the country to the other. Often it is quicker to take a long-distance bus than taking the train, because the connection often has fewer stops and goes directly from one destination to the other.
Trains
Even the remotest parts of Denmark are linked by railways, and the train offers easy and comfortable transport between the regions. Combining the rail and bus services is also very simple, as your train ticket extends to your continued journey on a bus.
