How to Get to Bjæverskov#
Bjæverskov on Zealand is easiest to reach from Copenhagen Airport with a short rail leg to a hub (Køge/Roskilde) and a final bus or regional train. Local buses under the Movia network handle most last-mile connections.
Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH): Copenhagen is the main international gateway for Zealand. From Kastrup you can reach Bjæverskov via intercity trains to Køge or Roskilde and then local buses or regional trains; total journey time to Bjæverskov area is typically 45-75 minutes depending on connections and transfers. Airport-to-Copenhagen Central train fares start around DKK 36 and regional onward fares add to the total.
Roskilde Airport (private/charter) and smaller Danish airports: There are limited services at smaller Danish airports; most international travellers use CPH and then transfer by train/bus to reach towns on Zealand.
Train: Zealand’s rail network (operated by DSB and local operators) connects major hubs such as Copenhagen and Køge; from those hubs use regional trains or local buses to reach Bjæverskov. Expect train journeys from Copenhagen to Køge of around 30-40 minutes, with a short bus or local train leg onward.
Bus: Movia operates bus services across Zealand; local buses connect Bjæverskov with Køge and surrounding villages. Single bus fares on Movia routes are typically affordable (tens of DKK) and useful for short hops where no direct rail exists.
How to Get Around Bjæverskov#

- Taxi / ride-hail (DKK 150-600) - Taxis provide convenient door-to-door travel from stations or the airport; useful with luggage or outside bus hours. Prices rise quickly for longer trips so get an estimate before starting.
- Car (rental) (DKK 300-800/day) - Renting a car gives full flexibility to explore Zealand and is useful if you plan to visit multiple rural sites. Roads are good and parking in small towns is generally straightforward.
- Bicycle (DKK 0-150) - Cycling is practical for short distances and local sightseeing; many towns have quiet roads and cycle lanes. Seasonal rentals are available in larger towns and hubs.
