This page is under construction.

In the meantime, you can check the page dedicated to cycling as well as the cycling page for international trains on the Danish railways (DSB) website.

Until a more complete guide is written, you’ll find here a non-exhaustive glimpse of what some trains look like in Denmark. See also the VagonWEB photo gallery page for Denmark.

Intercity trains

Regional trains

I didn’t get the chance to explore regional trains in Denmark, but based on the outside they have bicycle spaces as well.

Replacement buses

In principle bicycles are not allowed on replacement buses. However, if you remove the wheels you may get a chance to put your bicycle in the storage space, so it may be worth trying.

Replacement buses were really well organized in case of planned works.

International trains

Czechia

Czech railways announced that they’ll offer a direct service Copenhagen-Hamburg-Berlin-Prague starting in May 2026. These will be operated by ComfortJet trains.

Germany

Direct trains between Copenhagen and Hamburg are currently operated by old intercity carriages from Deutsche Bahn, without dedicated bicycle spots and very limited luggage space. Therefore, to cross the border you should take a Danish intercity train to Flensburg and then a German regional train to Hamburg, adding a couple hours to the Copenhagen-Hamburg journey.

Fortunately, this situation will improve in the next years. Firstly, new trains with bicycle spaces will soon operate on the direct Copenhagen-Hamburg route (safety agencies have recently approved this new train model). Additionally, Czech railways will start a direct Copenhagen-Prague service via Germany in May 2026, see above.

Lastly, a more direct route is currently in construction, involving a tunnel under the Baltic sea set to open in 2029.

Sweden

Øresundståg offers international trains from Copenhagen to Sweden, reaching Gothenburg, Kalmar or Karlskrona, via Malmö and Lund. More on VagonWEB.
