Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans are the most frequent visitors to Denmark, but the country attracts tourists from all over the world. It’s the oldest kingdom in Europe and it’s often labelled as the “fairytale country”, as it’s the birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson, creator of The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, and The Ugly Duckling, to name just a few.

Main bus companies in Denmark

Intercity buses in Denmark are managed by companies based outside the country, including Vy Bus4You and FlixBus.

Vy Bus4You is based over the border in Sweden, but it services many routes inside Denmark and also connects to Sweden and Norway. It’s run by Vy Buss, which in turn is run by Vy, which used to go by the name NSB or Norwegian State Railways.

FlixBus is a German company that runs into and out of many countries, including Denmark. It has been steadily growing its presence in Scandinavia over the last few years and even acquired Swebus in 2018, before rebranding all of its buses, taking over its routes, and then shutting the company down.

You can book Danish bus tickets with these two companies and many others using Omio. Search for your preferred routes, see which bus ticket options appear, and then purchase your preferred route.

Domestic Bus Routes in Denmark

Public transportation in Denmark is very efficient and there are roads and rails crisscrossing the whole of the country. Buses provide travelers with a convenient, eco-friendly, and cheap way to get around, and as most routes take a few hours at the most, it’s also fairly quick.

Billund to Copenhagen is one of the most popular intercity Danish bus routes. It connects these two cities (both of which have airports) in about 3.5 hours. Billund is also where LEGO was invented and there is a LEGOLAND here, so if you’re a fan of these creative and colorful toys, you can fly into Billund, get your fill of LEGO, and then book a cheap bus ticket for the Danish capital.

The reverse is just as easy, and you can get from Copenhagen to Billund on a couple of different daily routes from FlixBus.

• Copenhagen to Odense
• Odense to Copenhagen
• Copenhagen to Aarhus
• Aarhus to Billund

International Bus Routes from Denmark to other countries

What’s the quickest way from Copenhagen to London? If you answered “plane”, you’re probably right, unless you have a rocketship handy. But what about the most interesting way? A flight is just a hop over the North Sea—not much to see there. A bus, on the other hand, will take you into Germany and France, giving you a chance to explore some beautiful scenery and potentially add another country to your travel journal.

It can also be a cheaper option. The price varies based on when you book, but for the dates that we checked, it was 50% cheaper than the flight.

The Copenhagen to London bus route is offered by FlixBus. It’s indirect, as it connects through Frankfurt, but the journey usually commences the following day, so you can spend a night in Frankfurt.

Admittedly, it’s not the most practical way to travel and once you consider the cost of accommodation in Frankfurt, it’ll probably cost you more than a flight in the long run. But it gives you an idea of just how far you can travel from Denmark by bus.

Copenhagen to Amsterdam is another long-distance route that crosses a couple of borders. This one is often available for even less than the London route and it’s also available from FlixBus, but it usually requires a transfer in Germany.

If you’d prefer something direct, FlixBus and Vy Bus4You can take you from Copenhagen to Oslo in around 8 hours. There are multiple buses departing for this route every day and it’s a super cheap way to travel between these two Nordic capitals.

Copenhagen to Paris is direct as well, but you’ll be on the bus for over 20 hours.

Other Danish bus connections that begin in Copenhagen and take you across international borders include Copenhagen to Stockholm and Copenhagen to Berlin. The former is a direct route that takes around 10 hours. It is a FlixBus route and you can book it in the morning so that you arrive in the evening or book a night-time route to awake just in time to watch the Swedish capital come to life.

Generally speaking, although Denmark seems to be a little awkwardly placed, it has a fantastic road network and some huge bridges, so it can connect to its Nordic neighbors or cut through Germany to access more of mainland Europe.

You can also find many cheap bus routes into Denmark, including:

• Kiel to Copenhagen
• Halmstad to Copenhagen
• Lille to Copenhagen
• Dortmund to Copenhagen
• Lund to Copenhagen
• Rotterdam to Copenhagen
• Rostock to Copenhagen
• Prague to Copenhagen
• Leipzig to Copenhagen
• Genarp to Copenhagen
• Grums to Copenhagen

Night Buses in Denmark

Night buses take over from daytime routes in major cities like Copenhagen. They run the same routes, but they are only available for several hours after midnight. In Copenhagen, the night buses begin at 1 am and run until 5 am.

If you’re taking a night bus from providers like FlixBus, it likely means that it will drive through the night on a long-distance journey. These buses make fewer stops during the night and the roads are not as busy, so they are usually quicker.

Bus travel tips for Denmark

When boarding a regional bus in Copenhagen, you enter the bus from the doors at the front. This isn’t true for all regions in the country though, as buses are boarded from the back in Aarhus.

You can wait for the bus and find schedule information at the country’s many bus stops, and this is also where you need to wait for the bus to collect you.

If you’re using an intercity bus, you will likely need to board from a bus station. These are dotted around the country. They’re usually centrally located and within close proximity to the city’s train station and major hotels.

Intercity route information will be shown on the booking screen when you buy your cheap bus ticket through Omio, and you’ll also find it on the bus ticket itself.

Intercity buses are available direct and with transfers. If you book the former, you can stay on the bus as it drives to your destination. It may stop for breaks and even to pick up passengers but you don’t need to worry about changing buses.

As for regional buses, many of them will only stop when you hit the button. So, check the timetable and if the bus passes somewhere you need to go, just push the “Stop” button before it gets to the bus stop.

Use Omio to compare and book cheap bus tickets in Denmark.
