Do children travel free on DSB trains in Denmark?
Free travel and child fares
Short answer
Yes, up to a point: each paying adult, young person or pensioner can take up to 2 children under 12 for free on their ticket. A child travelling on a child ticket can also bring one other child under 12 for free. Children aged 15 or younger who travel alone, and all children aged 12–15, need a child ticket. Child tickets require ID showing the age, such as a health insurance card or a passport.
Why
- Two children under 12 ride free per adult.
- Children aged 12–15 get their own fares.
- Bring ID that shows the child's age.
Details
Children aged 12–15 get 50 % off Orange tickets.
Tip
A pram needs a free pram seat ticket on InterCity and InterCityLyn, so book it with your own ticket.
What may differ
Supplements are not free for children: DSB 1' costs the same for a child as for an adult.
Common misconception
Many think all children under 16 travel free with a parent.
What actually happens
Only children under 12 travel free, at most 2 per paying traveller; those aged 12–15 need a child ticket.
