I will be visiting Denmark later this year with family for a wedding and wanted to ask about wheelchair accessibility as I am struggling to find a clear answer anywhere.
We will be flying into Copenhagen, and from there are supposed to be traveling via train to get to Stevns town hall. Will there be any issues with this? Getting off or on the train or out of the stations?
Also, from what I gather, buses are generally wheelchair accessible in the capitol but I have no idea about elsewhere. From the town hall, we are supposed to be going to Solgårdsparken to take some nice photos and will need the bus to get there. Wanting to check that I will be able to get onto the bus without issue, are there ramps to get onto the bus?
Lastly, if you are a wheelchair user are there any hotels in Copenhagen that you particularly recommend? Thank you.

ktvy061I can't specifically speak for Stevns since I've mainly used busses in and north of Copenhagen. I believe it's the same company (Movia) which services the bus routes in Stevns and in Copenhagen. Most of the busses I've used have wheelchair ramps and also have specific stop buttons to push which alert the busdriver that they need to assist getting off the bus at the next stop (the regular stop buttons are red, the assistance ones are blue).
You can download the app "rejseplanen" (Journey Planner, app for public transport in Denmark) to see what bus you're going to be taking. I tried looking at the bus trip and it appears you'll be taking bus 251.
Looking at: https://dinoffentligetransport.dk/en/how-to-travel/disabled-persons
You should be able to get on the bus with your wheelchair, but from what I can read on the Danish version of that page (which annoyingly is more detailed), not all busses have electric ramps, but I'm pretty sure they all are wheelchair accessible. There is a number there on the page which you can call and potentially ask about the specific departure.
Sorry for the word vomit, writing on mobile.
