Hit the Road this Summer! 🌞⛴️🚌Got a comment? Fire away!
Are you planning a summer escape? With Constitution Day and Whitsun (Pentecost) right around the corner on June 5, 6, 8, and 9, Denmark's roads will be buzzing with travelers! 🎉🇩🇰
🚧 Constitution Day Warning: Although not a national holiday per se, many schools and preschools close down for the day. As a result, many Danes take advantage of extra days off work by joining in on the fun! Plus, the Friday before Whitsunday is known as the klemmedag or 'in-between day', adding another chunk of holiday fun for the long weekend 🏖️🏞️
🎟️ Royal Run: If you're in Ribe, Viborg, Horsens, Korsør, or Copenhagen this year, make sure to check out the Royal Run events! These popular races close down city centers for a fun community event – just be mindful of the road closures 🏃♂️🏃♀️
🚗 Traffic Patterns: Here's what you can expect during the holiday period:
- Friday, June 6 (Evening): Prepare for hefty traffic as folks leave the cities for a well-deserved break.
- Whitsunday, June 8 and Whitmonday, June 9: Relax and enjoy the leisurely holiday atmosphere...but be warned: day trips and local travel may cause some road congestion.
- Tuesday, June 10: Expect a surge of return traffic as the holidays come to a close.
🛑 Avoiding Traffic: Serious delays aren't necessarily in the forecast, but if you're heading out of Copenhagen at the beginning of the holiday or returning towards the city at the end, prepare for diversions and increased traffic in central areas. Road updates and diversions can be found here.
🏖️ Holiday Cheer: Pack your bags, buckle up and hit the road – the summer adventures await! And don't forget – it's a holiday, so take it easy and spread those awesome vibes!
