Getting around Copenhagen: Central Copenhagen is very walkable, but getting to other parts of the city will require visitors to use its subway, buses, and trams. Copenhagen streets are narrow and convoluted, and there is minimal parking. We do not recommend that guests use their rental cars in Copenhagen.

Getting around outside of Copenhagen: Visitors can tour parts of the region by rail, bus, and boat, but because scheduled services are relatively infrequent these are best for specific sightseeing trips only. Outside of Copenhagen, use of a rental car permits far greater flexibility and independence for touring the Danish countrysideespecially for those wanting to stop and enjoy the scenery, and explore small, out-of-the-way places.

Roskilde railroad station. Photo © Home at First.Getting around Roskilde: Roskilde, despite being Zealand's second largest municipality, is both small and walkable. Frequent train service connects Roskilde with Copenhagen (20 minutes) and the Copenhagen Airport (30 minutes). Visitors coming to Roskilde by car can use their rental cars to tour the region. But we recommend using the rail system to travel in and out of Copenhagen from Roskilde.
