Traveling in Denmark
Traveling to Denmark is very easy. The roads are very good and you can also cover considerable distances by public transport.
What you should keep in mind is that there are two important bridges for which tolls are charged. These are the Oresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden and the Storebaeltsbroen between Nyborg and Halsskov.
Because of this toll and the long distance you have to travel through Denmark, ferries are often an interesting choice.
