• CTW: Or check Copenhagen This Week, in English.

Maps, addresses, etc.    

• krak: krak.dk for detailed maps, routes, addresses.
• yellow pages: degulesider.dk, the Danish yellow pages.
• route tracker: Measure your route's distance, be it running track or sight-seeing stroll.

Bikes    

• Auctions: A bike is a must in Copenhagen. Cheap second-hand bikes, of varying quality, can be bought at bike auctions organized by the Copenhagen Police. Auction conditions here. Location on map here. Advice: go early and inspect the bikes beforehand.
• Shops: A selection of bike shops that some of your colleagues have good experiences with i) cykelboersen in the Gothersgade is good for bike rental ii) PH cykler, Blegdamsvej 130 near Trianglen, is good for bike repair iii) list of bike shops close to NBI

• DBA: dba.dk, “Den Blaa Avis” = The Blue Newspaper. Not for just for bikes, it’s the Danish E-bay, say. Usually has several bikes for sale. The sellers are private people, and the price is usually negotiable. If you buy, take care that the bike is not stolen by demanding a receipt from the seller.
• Danish bikes : Some information about the three-wheeled Christiania bikes.

Cars    

• Parking: Parking a car in central Copenhagen is expensive. Check the color-coded map how much to pay where.
• Car rental: Several companies are listed on this website. Prices are high. Persons who can show a recent bank receipt with an address abroad pay less.
