What train discounts do young people and students get in Denmark?

Ungdomskort, Ungdomsbillet and Orange

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Young people have several DSB options as of November 2026. The Ungdomskort is for students or people aged 16–19 and covers public transport where it applies, with up to 50 % off ordinary tickets elsewhere. The Ungdomsbillet gives students aged 16–25 and Ungdomskort holders 30 % off when crossing the Great Belt or travelling by train on Funen or in Jutland (not North Jutland), and it never sells out. Orange and Orange Fri can give young travellers up to 75 % off compared with a single ticket.

Transport and mobility

Why

  1. Students get fixed discounts on long trips.
  2. Ungdomsbillet can be bought at the last minute.
  3. Early booking gives the biggest savings.

Details

Under-28s can also buy Interrail passes valid for up to 3 months in 33 countries.

Tip

Always carry ID, your Ungdomskort or your student card, since you must be able to prove you qualify.

What may differ

The Ungdomskort cannot be bought in the DSB app; you order it on ungdomskort.dk.

Common misconception

Many think only Danish students can get youth fares.

What actually happens

Orange gives reduced prices by age to everyone aged 16–25, as long as you can show valid ID.
