The train or the bus? The choice is yours
If you’ve decided to leave the car at home and will be travelling from Aarhus to Copenhagen or vice versa, you have two transport options: The train or the bus.
On the train you have space. Space to work, relax and exchange opinions with others who, like you, have chosen to travel from A to B in a train carriage. Space to wave to the bus that’s struggling onwards, and space to give someone special a little hug.
If you prefer to cross the country in tranquillity, our quiet zones allow you to enjoy views of the city, forests and water in peace and quiet. Or enrich your day with a book, podcast or the latest single from your favourite band.
The bus will get you there too. But as you know, the journey is as important as the destination – and we think that’s the case here.
When are you departing? We have more than 30 daily departures. The train or the bus? The choice is yours.
