Frequently asked questions about Byway trips

What's included?

Our price includes all transport, accommodation and a personalized itinerary for your trip. Byway's travel experts are also available on WhatsApp throughout for disruption support and travel tips.

Are flights included?

No, flights to Europe aren't included, but all transport and accommodation once you're here is. Short-haul flights are highly carbon-intensive, and traveling around Europe by train, ferry or bus is an easy, enjoyable alternative.

Can I upgrade my hotel room?

Yes. Different hotel options are available to choose from on the trip page, and any room upgrade requests can be added in the booking form. Our team will then find upgrade options and discuss them with you.

Do I have to start and finish in the same city?

No. If you'd like to leave Europe from a different city, our concierge team can build you a custom one-way trip.

Can I pay in US dollars?

Yes. Prices on our trip pages are shown in your local currency by default, or you can select your preferred currency, including USD, CAD, EUR or CHF, from the dropdown in the top right corner of the trip page. The payment page will always show the price in your chosen currency.

How much luggage is included?

You can generally bring as much luggage as you can carry, as long as it fits in the luggage racks or overhead space. On Eurostar, UK and most European trains, the standard allowance is two large bags and one smaller item, provided you can manage them yourself; let us know in advance if you're planning to bring anything oversized. Since you may need to change stations or walk to hotels, packing light makes the journey more comfortable.

How do my tickets get delivered?

Most European train tickets are digital and sent to you by email. A few, including tickets for Spain, Portugal and some EuroCity trains, require paper tickets, which can be mailed to a hotel on your itinerary.

Is it a guided group trip?

No, Byway trips are self-guided, not part of a group tour. You'll have on-demand personalized support by WhatsApp, text or phone throughout, so all the planning and booking is done for you, and any disruptions are handled without you having to worry about them.

Frequently asked questions about Denmark

What’s the best time to visit Denmark?

The best time to visit Denmark for warm weather is June to August, when temperatures are mildest and coastal towns are at their liveliest. May and September offer a quieter, cheaper alternative with similar mild conditions and fewer crowds. There are highlights year-round: Sankt Hans brings bonfires and gatherings on Midsummer's Eve in June, Roskilde Festival draws one of Europe's biggest music crowds every summer, and Tivoli Gardens' Christmas market lights up Copenhagen from mid-November.

What are the best things to do in Denmark?

The best things to do in Denmark include exploring Copenhagen, visiting the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, and relaxing in the medieval town of Odense.

  • Exploring Copenhagen's galleries, breweries and canal-side neighbourhoods

  • Visiting the Viking Ship Museum and cathedral in Roskilde, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

  • Wandering the medieval streets and sandy beaches of Odense on the island of Funen

  • Crossing the Øresund Bridge by train between Copenhagen and Malmö

  • Exploring the historic port town of Aarhus and its open-air museum

  • Walking the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, rising over 100 metres above the Baltic Sea

  • Birdwatching and hiking in the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

How can I get to Denmark by train?

Denmark is reachable by train via Hamburg and northern Germany, and connects onward to Sweden and Norway via the Øresund Bridge and ferry links. Within Denmark, an extensive rail network connects the country's islands, including direct lines to Odense, Aarhus and Roskilde.
