PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN COPENHAGEN
Public transportation in Copenhagen is reliable, punctual,
and it goes everywhere in the city. In Copenhagen the
trains, metro and busses (including waterbuses) can be ac-
cessed with the same ticket. All you need to know is how
many zones you will pass on your journey. Note the met-
ro will take you from the airport to central Copenhagen in
only 13 minutes.
TAXIS TO BELLA CENTER
Bella Center is just a 10 – 15 minute taxi drive from Copen-
hagen Central Station and not more than 10 minutes from
Copenhagen Airport by taxi. A taxi from Bella Center to the
city centre costs about DKK 200-250. A taxi from Bella
Center to Copenhagen Airport costs about DKK 150-200.
CITY OF COPENHAGEN
Copenhagen is not only the capital of Denmark. It is a cul-
tural and economic center of Northern Europe. More than
1,2 million citizens live in the greater Copenhagen region.
The city is located on the Danish Island „Saeland“ (Dan-
ish: Sjælland) and next to the „Øresund“ – a Baltic sea
seagate and natural borderline to Sweden. Due to this
geographic location, Copenhagen – together with the
Swedish city Malmö – represents the binational „Øresund
Region“. It is a unique metropolis area, where two coun-
tries and cities are connected via the 8 km „Øresund
Bridge“.
The Copenhagen Palaces Christiansborg and Amalien-
borg are the seat of the Danish Parliament and the resi-
dence of the Danish Queen Margrethe II. Architecture,
design and music make Copenhagen an outstanding cul-
tural hotspot in Northern Europe. It is famous for its in-
novative improvements which can be seen and experi-
enced throughout the city.
Also, Copenhagen has great museums to offer, for exam-
ple Louisiana and The National Gallery of Denmark. The
Royal Danish Opera, located directly at the habor front, is
combining modern Danish architecture with international
performances. The main sightseeing spots and touristic
attractions are the Tivoli Gardens, Christiansborg, and
of course the „Little Mermaid“ – the famos sculpture of
Edvard Eriksen at the waterside.
The University of Copenhagen is offering a wide range of
academic disciplines. With over 40,000 students and
more than 9,000 employees, the University of Copenha-
gen is one of the largest institutions of research and edu-
cation in the Nordic countries.
Due to short distances within the city of Copenhagen, its
good public transportation system, and especially the well
developed cycle paths, Copenhagen is a convenient place
for meetings.
