- Bicycle : surely the best transportation way here. Denmark is a flat country and you can easily find bicycle from friend in the student residence. There is a lot of bike paths and bicycle storages. Johanna and me (Pauline) have founded one each and we go at the university by this mean.
- A car : if you are 3 or 4, it is very interesting to have a car. In Denmark, highway are free but all public parking are paying. You can go in a lot of typical places. Gasoline is a little bit cheaper than in France so it is a big deal to take a trip in car. Limitation are 60km/h in cities, 90km/h in national roads and 110-130km/h on highway. To go to Copenhagen, you need 2h45, around 50€ for gasoline and 30€ for a Bridge between Fynn island and Sjaelland Island.
