Copenhagen Airport Kastrup is Scandinavia's busiest airport and the main hub for the region, located on the island of Amager just 8 km south of Copenhagen city center. It handles over 30 million passengers and provides excellent access to both Denmark and southern Sweden via the Oresund Bridge.
While Copenhagen itself is one of Europe's most bike-friendly cities (making a rental car unnecessary for city sightseeing), a car opens up wonderful day trips across the Danish islands. The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, the fairytale castle of Kronborg (Hamlet's castle) in Helsingor, and the chalk cliffs of Mons Klint are all within 1-2 hours of the airport.
Denmark's road network is excellent and toll-free (apart from the two great bridges). The country is compact, so even Jutland's west coast — with its dramatic dunes and surf beaches — is only 4 hours from Copenhagen. The Oresund Bridge also provides a unique opportunity to combine a Danish and Swedish road trip.
Yes, the Oresund Bridge connects Copenhagen to Malmo in about 35 minutes. The toll is DKK 360 (EUR 48) one-way. Most rental companies allow Sweden travel.
No, Danish motorways are toll-free. The only tolled crossings are the Storebalt Bridge (DKK 250/EUR 34) and Oresund Bridge.
Legoland in Billund is about 260 km west (2.5 hours via the E20 and motorways through Funen and Jutland).
Fuel and parking are expensive compared to southern Europe. However, there are no motorway tolls, and rental rates are moderate for Scandinavia.
