The rooms for the workshop speakers have already been reserved according to the dates that were provided on the registration web-page. Most will be staying at the Hotel Maritime at Peder Skrams Gade 19.
|
|

Regular participants should reserve for their own stay while in Copenhagen. We have arranged for special rates at two hotels:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| – |
|
Hotel 9 Små Hjem at Classensgade 38
These rooms are 600 kr (about € 80) per night, again with breakfast included. Please contact the NBIA secretary, Helle Kiilerich, directly to reserve one of these rooms.

Summer is a very popular tourist season in Copenhagen, so we would encourage all participants, except for the invited speakers, to make their room reservations as soon as possible.

Arrival by plane
|

|

The Kastrup Airport is about about ten kilometers to the southeast from the Niels Bohr Institute. Travelling between the airport and the Institute, you have a few options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taxi-cabs:
The simplest method for reaching the Institute is to take a taxi-cab directly from the airport. The cost of a ride should be about 250-300 Danish kroner (approximately € 35-40).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metro:
The airport is at the end of the M2 Metro line which travels into central Copenhagen. You can take the metro from the airport station, Lufthavnen, to the Nørreport station.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
You should first purchase a 3-zone ticket, for example at the Airport DSB Travel Centre. If your ticket does not have the time already marked on it, be certain to have your ticket time-stamped before boarding the metro.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
The M2 Lufthavnen station is connected to Terminal 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
You can ride the metro train to the Nørreport station (9 stops).

|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
Transfer to one of the S-trains and ride to a station closer to your hotel. Note that your ticket should still be valid for the S-train.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trains:
Trains also run regularly between the airport and central Copenhagen. The train platforms are beneath Terminal 3. These trains can be especially useful after midnight on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays when the Metro has stopped running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arrival by train
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are travelling by train, most likely you will be arriving at the Copenhagen Central Station, or the Københavns Hovedbanegård.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taxi-cabs:
From the station, you can take a taxi-cab directly to the Niels Bohr Institute, at Blegdamsvej 17.
|
|
|
|
|
|
S-trains:
If you are a little more energetic, you can also take one of the S-trains (S-tog) and then walk to the Institute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
You must purchase a 2-zone ticket, for example from one of the automated machines in the station.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
The northbound trains depart from tracks 9 and 10 (spor 9–10).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
|
If your ticket does not have the time already marked on it, be certain to have your ticket time-stamped before boarding the S-trains.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
You should then ride to the station nearest to your hotel or the Institute. The closest to the Institute are the Nørreport station (only 2 stops from København H) or the Østerport station (3 stops).

Currency

|
|
Though Denmark is a part of the EU, it still retains its own currency, the krone [€ 1 ≈ 7.5 dkk]. Both the train station and the airport have places where you can purchase some kroner to use during your visit.
