Denmark is fantastic. A beautiful country with lovely hilly landscapes, brightly colored villages, and cozy cities. Perfect for a train trip.

In this article, you’ll find my Denmark itinerary, sights to see, all the tips for traveling by Danish train and bus, how to enjoy a cozy Christmas atmosphere, and much more.<\/strong> Join me!<\/p>\n

Why travel solo to Denmark?<\/h2>\n
\n

For some reason, I’d wanted to get to know Denmark better for a while. I’d been to Copenhagen before, but now I wanted to head inland. I travel solo regularly, and I just love traveling alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I don’t get that cozy, chilly Christmas vibe in Colombia, Denmark seemed like the perfect place to experience it. Besides, I was looking for peace, coziness, a Christmas atmosphere, solitude, and safety.<\/strong> And Denmark is the perfect place for that. <\/p>\n

If there’s one place that’s quiet, it’s Denmark. The perfect country for hiking alone in nature, discovering cities and villages, and experiencing peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least, those were my expectations. But I can now say they were more than met. I haven’t been this relaxed in ages as I was in Denmark. I loved it\u2014the peace, the safety, being alone, and that cozy Christmas atmosphere. The charming cafes, the interesting museums, the beautiful nature, the many hiking trails… <\/strong> I couldn’t get enough of it.<\/p>\n

Yes, I’ve fallen a little bit in love with Denmark.<\/strong> I’ll definitely be back!<\/p>\n

Denmark in a nutshell<\/h2>\n
\n

Denmark is located in Northern Europe and is the southernmost country in Scandinavia.<\/strong> The country consists of the Jutland peninsula and hundreds of islands<\/strong>, of which Zealand<\/strong>, Funen<\/strong>, and Bornholm<\/strong> are the most famous.<\/p>\n

Capital<\/strong>: Copenhagen.
\nSecond city<\/strong>: Aarhus<\/strong><\/a>.
\nPopulation<\/strong>: over 6 million (2026), and much more sparsely populated than the Netherlands.
\nCurrency<\/strong>: Danish Krone, abbreviated as DKK. 1 euro is roughly equal to 7.50 Danish Krone and 1 dollar is about 6.46 Danish Krone. Check the current exchange rate here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Even though Denmark is a small country, it’s very diverse.<\/strong> You have vibrant major cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus, but also old towns, dune landscapes, cliffs, forests, heathlands, and endless coastline. In Central Jutland, you’ll also find beautiful hilly areas. <\/p>\n

Denmark is known for design, cycling, coastal life, and of course hygge<\/em><\/strong>: the typical Danish feeling of coziness, peace, and togetherness.<\/p>\n

Danish Jutland (Jylland)<\/h3>\n

I only visited Jutland during this trip.<\/strong> The large peninsula attached to Germany that forms the western part of Denmark.<\/p>\n

North Jutland<\/strong> is vast; there are fewer people, more coastline, and dunes. Sometimes I felt like the only person in the world there. South Jutland<\/strong> has a bit more life; there are more people. When you travel through Jutland, you really notice the difference between north and south. It’s definitely recommended to visit both parts when you’re in Denmark. <\/p>\n

Traveling by train and bus through Denmark | Mini-guide<\/h2>\n
\n

Traveling by train through Denmark is incredibly comfortable and easy.<\/strong> As soon as you cross the border from Germany, the delays and canceled public transport are over. In Denmark, trains run right on time and those seats… they’re so comfortable. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you buy train tickets in Denmark?<\/h3>\n

The easiest way to buy train tickets is via an app.<\/strong> You can use the DSB app<\/strong> or Rejsebillet<\/strong>. I’d recommend buying train tickets directly via the DSB app<\/strong> because you can choose from several fare options there. And use the Rejsebillet app for bus tickets<\/strong>. That way, you’ll save money<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
