Gedser

By bus

The old train station in Gedser was closed in 2009, so use the Movia line 39 bus which connects Gedser with the regions main train station in Nykøbing Falster around once per hour on weekdays, down to 8 departures on Sundays. In summer another option is line 43, also connecting with Nykøbing Falster, but stopping at many of the regions popular beaches en route.

By ferry

The main reason to come to Gedser is the ferry to Rostock in Germany, the most direct route between Copenhagen and Berlin. The crossing takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and is operated by Scandlines. Departures every two hours between 7 and 23. A regular online purchased car economy one-way fare begins at €109 (off-season), €129 (peak season); paying at the harbour ticket office is an extra €10. (Timetable and tariffs 2019). Smile Economy tickets begins at €33 (off-season), €68 (peak season), and are for bonuscard members (needs registration and must be booked well in advance).

Gedser is a small and comfortable enough city in which walking is the easiest and most practical means of transportation within the city limits.
