What are the rules in the quiet zone on DSB trains?
Stillezone: a calm carriage
Short answer
The quiet zone (stillezone) is for passengers who want calm to work or rest. All electronic devices must be on silent, and conversations take place in other zones or compartments. You need a seat ticket to sit there, and as of November 2026 a seat ticket costs 30 kr. The quiet zone is free of animals on long-distance, regional and S-trains, out of consideration for people with allergies.
Why
- Phones and laptops stay on silent.
- Talking is for other parts of the train.
- No animals, to protect people with allergies.
Details
You can also choose a family zone (familiezone), with room for games and family time.
Tip
Choose the quiet zone when you pick your seat after selecting a departure, as long as seats are left.
What may differ
Announcements, other passengers and ticket inspection can still be heard in the quiet zone.
Common misconception
Many think the quiet zone is open to anyone with a normal ticket.
What actually happens
You need a seat ticket for the quiet zone, also with Orange tickets.
