Denmark is a very green country, ecologically speaking, and this is reflected in the possibilities for transport. Cyclists are encouraged with purpose-built cycle tracks, separated from roads where possible.
Cars remain a popular solution. There is little in the way of road tolls to be paid, but the general increase in the cost of living compared to other countries means that petrol or diesel fuel will also cost up to 30% more. For the same reason, if you are hiring a car, you may find it advantageous to rent from nearby Germany or even Sweden, depending on how you plan to travel to Denmark.
With the different stretches of water separating the three main parts of Denmark, ferry services are well developed. Denmark has some of the fastest ferries in the world: for example, up to 100 km/h between Aarhus in Jutland and Sjaellands Odde in Zealand. Ferries remain a viable solution for getting from Zealand to neighboring countries such as Sweden and Germany, although developments such as the recent Øresund Bridge may change this.
Trains are modern, comfortable and fast, and they typically run on time. They also have facilities such as onboard wi-fi if you want to stay connected. Many of the places described here are easily accessible by train. Local buses then provide further transport from the railway station.
There are also flights available within Denmark, although with the different solutions mentioned above, these are more for hops such as the one between Copenhagen and Aarhus. Copenhagen airport is also an international hub for many flights to and from Scandinavia, facilitating travel from other countries if you decide to travel to Denmark by plane.
Finally, getting around on foot, at least within Danish towns and cities, is also encouraged in Denmark with pedestrian precincts, walkways and shopping streets in many places.
