Is there a day ticket for buses and light rail in Aarhus?
A calendar-day ticket for Aarhus and a wider one for the region.
Short answer
Yes, Dagsbillet Aarhus gives unlimited travel on Midttrafik buses and the light rail in all of Aarhus Municipality (zones 301–313). In 2026 it costs 59 DKK for adults and pensioners and 29.50 DKK for children. It is valid until 23.59 on the day you buy it, not for 24 hours, and two children under 12 travel free with an adult. For trips further out, Dagsbillet Midtjylland costs 109 DKK and covers all of Region Midtjylland.
Why
- Dagsbillet Aarhus: 59 DKK, zones 301–313.
- Valid until 23.59 on the day of purchase.
- Dagsbillet Midtjylland: 109 DKK for the whole region.
Details
Neither day ticket is valid on airport buses or DSB trains, but Dagsbillet Midtjylland also covers Midtjyske Jernbaner.
Tip
Buy the day ticket in the morning: since it ends at 23.59, a ticket bought late in the day gives you only a few hours.
What may differ
Prices are adjusted each January, so check midttrafik.dk if you travel in 2027.
Common misconception
A Danish day ticket always lasts 24 hours from the time you buy it.
What actually happens
Dagsbillet Aarhus and Dagsbillet Midtjylland end at 23.59 on the day you buy them.
