Getting to Møn

Møn lies in south-eastern Denmark and, unlike many Danish islands, needs no ferry to reach: the Dronning Alexandrines Bridge connects it firmly to Zealand, so you can drive right up to the chalk cliffs. For most international visitors, Copenhagen is the natural gateway, its airport has good connections across Europe and beyond, and the island is about two hours south of the capital by road. Which route makes sense depends mainly on whether you're arriving with your own car from mainland Europe, travelling onward by train and bus, or visiting on a day trip from Copenhagen.

Crossing the bridge onto the island

Access to the island is via the Dronning Alexandrines Bridge (often called Mønbroen or Ulvsundbroen). The 746-metre arch bridge opened on 30 May 1943, replacing the earlier ferry, and links Kalvehave on Zealand with Koster on Møn. It belongs to the state road network and is maintained by the Danish Vejdirektoratet, so the crossing is toll-free. In Denmark, only the Great Belt and Øresund bridges charge a toll; the road to Møn does not.

The Vejdirektoratet resurfaced the bridge between April and October 2025, with the final surfacing work completed by late August 2025. No closures are documented for 2026, if you want to be sure, check the traffic situation shortly before you travel, but otherwise the crossing is open as normal again.

By car

If you're driving in from continental Europe, there are two classic routes to Zealand and on via Vordingborg to the bridge:

• Via the Vogelfluglinie (Bird Flight Line): the Scandlines ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby, then across Lolland and Falster (E47) towards Vordingborg, the route most drivers coming from Germany use. The ferry continues to run year-round every 30 minutes in 2026, almost around the clock (roughly 00:15 to 23:45), with a 45-minute crossing. Car tickets start from around €54 one way depending on season and booking, with early-bird fares sometimes from about €40; at peak times expect more like €70-125. Booking online via the Scandlines website or app is cheapest.
• Via the Great Belt Bridge: across Jutland and Funen to Zealand, then south to Vordingborg. The Great Belt Bridge charges a toll, since 1 January 2026, 205 DKK for a standard car under 6 metres in the green express lanes (paid by BroBizz or number-plate billing) and 235 DKK if you pay by card or cash at the barrier. The toll isn't booked online in advance but paid directly at the bridge; the BroBizz/number-plate discount has applied automatically since 2026, with no special agreement needed.

From Copenhagen, the drive onto the island realistically takes about 1¾ to 2 hours.

By train and bus

Møn is also easy to reach without a car. DSB runs the Copenhagen-Vordingborg line with around 15 services a day on average; journey time averages about 1h15, with the fastest trains covering the route in around 57 minutes. The commonly quoted "one hour by train" only holds for the fastest connections.

From Vordingborg, the Movia regional bus 660R continues to Stege, the island's transport hub: daily, roughly every 30 minutes, with a journey time of around 45-47 minutes. Fares across Danish public transport, including DSB, were adjusted on 18 January 2026, so rejseplanen.dk is the most reliable place to check current prices and connections on the day.

Getting around the island

Stege is the starting point for Movia's island buses. Worth knowing if you're not arriving with your own car:

• Line 667 runs year-round between Stege and Klintholm Havn (around 34 minutes), serving the eastern part of the island.
• Line 678 is the summer service and runs seasonally only, roughly from late March to late October, direct from Stege to Møns Klint and Klintholm Havn (around 41 minutes). The often-quoted "25 minutes from Stege to the cliffs" is a best-case driving time; by bus, budget around 40 minutes.

Outside the summer season, island bus services run infrequently. For the chalk cliffs, the Dark Sky Park and more remote nature spots, a car or bicycle gives you far more flexibility. Bicycles can be hired in Stege town centre from Fri BikeShop, or from E-Bike Rental Møn (ebikemoen.dk), as a rough guide, day rates run around 200 DKK for a standard bike and 300 DKK for an e-bike (prices subject to change). For where to base yourself, see the guide to accommodation on Møn.

Day trip from Copenhagen

If you're based in Copenhagen without a car, a day trip to Møn is entirely doable. In season, guided coach tours run direct to Møns Klint and the Camp Adventure forest tower (Skovtårnet), for example with CPH - Tours & Tickets, departing from Colbjørnsensgade 15 in 1652 Copenhagen. The tour takes around 8.5 hours and includes an air-conditioned minibus, guide, Wi-Fi and admission to the GeoCenter Møns Klint. Book via ticket.moensklint.dk/day-trips; comparable day tours are also available in 2026 through common booking platforms. Fixed dates and prices change seasonally, so it's worth checking current offers before booking.

Which route suits you?

• Travelling with a car and luggage, or staying several days: your own vehicle via the ferry or the Great Belt Bridge gives you the most freedom to explore the island, and makes self-catering in a holiday cottage much easier.
• Travelling car-free or by public transport: train to Vordingborg, then bus 660R to Stege and the island lines 667/678 from there, straightforward in summer, but plan for a thinner timetable outside the main season.
• A single day from Copenhagen: the guided day-trip coach takes care of planning and driving, getting you straight to the cliffs with no changes.
