Do you have to pay for toilets at train stations in Denmark?
Pay toilets at large stations
Short answer
At the largest DSB stations you usually pay for the toilet, as of November 2026. Copenhagen Central Station has pay toilets, including an accessible toilet. At Aarhus H the toilets and accessible toilet are also paid, and they are locked from 23.00 to 6.00. At Odense Station the toilets are run by the owner of the station building.
Why
- Large stations have pay toilets.
- Accessible toilets are found at the main stations.
- Long-distance DSB trains have their own accessible toilet.
Details
IC3, IC4, double-decker and Øresund trains have wheelchair spaces next to the accessible toilet.
Tip
If you take a long-distance train, it is often easier to use the toilet on board than to pay at the station.
What may differ
Toilet prices are not listed on the station pages and can change, so check the price and payment options on the spot.
Common misconception
Many think toilets at Danish stations are free like the municipal ones in Copenhagen.
What actually happens
The big stations have pay toilets, while the City of Copenhagen's street and park toilets are free.
