Where to change bus on the way from Copenhagen to Milan
The best place for interchange is definitely Berlin. As the capital of Germany Berlin has frequent (at least two daily) bus connections to Copenhagen.

Long distance buses depart from Ingerslevsgade Bus Station in Copenhagen. Don’t be surprised if you can’t find any terminal building – Ingerslevsgade is rather a bus stop than bus station. It is located close to Copenhagen Main Railway Station and Tivoli Park.

The main bus station for international buses in Milan is Lampugnano (metro station of the same name on line M1) and that is where your bus from Berlin will most likely arrive. Some buses to Berlin depart from other places (e.g Sesto San Giovanni – Piazza Primo Maggio). Always make sure you know the departure location before you travel.
