Danish trains are also tailor-made for relaxation. Speeds are modest, but that’s all to the good in a country that has a quiet, seductive beauty. The main train operator is the state-run Danske Statsbaner (DSB), though a dense network of local routes in west and north Jutland is managed by Arriva Trains. Discover some of the best things to do in Denmark by train: visit the culturally cool capital, the old yet very young city of Aarhus or the fairytale city of Odense. Explore further north to the Jutland city of Aalborg, cycle across Skagen’s flat landscape or kayak along Zealand’s Susåen river and alongside a plethora of the country’s island idylls. When travelling internationally to Denmark by train, the main rail routes lead through the German city of Hamburg , from where DSB offers between six and ten direct trains each day (the number varies by season) to Danish stations. There are also services operated by Norddeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (NEG) from the far northern German station of Niebüll to Aarhus, Ribe and Esbjerg.
