How big can a suitcase be on buses, trains and the metro in Denmark?

Size limits for suitcases and bags

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Personal luggage travels free on Danish buses, trains and the metro if there is room, in 2026. Each piece may be at most 100 x 60 x 30 cm, and there is no fixed limit on the number of pieces. Folded bicycles, folded strollers and folded electric scooters count as luggage. Staff decide whether there is room and may allow a larger item if it will not get in the way of other passengers. In the Copenhagen Metro large luggage goes in the flex areas with fold-down seats.

Public transport

Why

  1. Luggage needs no ticket.
  2. One size limit applies on bus, train and metro.
  3. Space is shared with prams and wheelchairs.

Details

On Midttrafik buses a folding bike may be up to 115 x 60 x 30 cm when folded.

Tip

With big suitcases, avoid rush hour on the metro to the airport and stand in the flex areas with fold-down seats.

What may differ

A driver can refuse luggage that is dirty, dangerous or blocks the doors.

Common misconception

Many travellers think suitcases need their own ticket on Danish trains and buses.

What actually happens

Normal luggage rides free; only bikes and some dogs need a ticket.
