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.
