Set off on a memorable road trip from Copenhagen in Denmark to Lisbon in Portugal, travelling right through the middle of Europe. This lengthy drive covers 2949 kilometres and will take around 31.1 hours behind the wheel. Heading south, you’ll pass through Spain before reaching the Atlantic coast. Be aware that while most Danish motorways are toll-free, you will need to pay to cross the Great Belt Bridge. Once in Portugal, the SCUT system uses electronic tolls, so it’s a good idea to get a Via Verde Visitors device for easy payment. Throughout the entire journey, remember to stay on the right-hand side of the road, ensuring a smooth drive across these varied landscapes.
