Travel recommendations
We hope you get a chance to explore Copenhagen while you're in town. If you are in town for a longer stay and would like recommendations for things to do outside of Copenhagen such as day trips, please let us know.
Getting to Copenhagen
Copenhagen has only one international airport to fly into: Københavns Lufthavn CPH. The easiest way to reach Copenhagen Central Station (København H in Danish) from the airport is by taking the metro. The journey takes around 13 minutes and costs $3-5. To purchase a metro ticket, go to the red DSB ticket machines located inside the arrivals hall. The Copenhagen Airport's M2 metro line is situated on the first floor of Terminal 3. The red ticket machines accept all major credit cards except for American Express. After buying your ticket, proceed to Track 2 (København H). At the airport metro station, there are two tracks heading into the city center with Vanløse as the final destination. It doesn't matter which metro you take as they all go in the same direction. Remember to buy your ticket before boarding the train or metro, and avoid traveling without a ticket as the fine can be up to $150. *Please note that Uber is not accessible in Denmark.
AirBnB
Luckily Copenhagen is a manageable city to get around in - wherever you end up staying shouldn't be an issue when traveling to any of our wedding festivities. However, we suggest to stay in the city center "Indre By". If you would like to stay in a hotel, please reach out to us for recommendations. Once you have settled on a place to stay, let us know and we can help with instructions on how to get from the airport to your hotel/Airbnb as well as specific directions to the ceremony and surrounding events.

How to get around in Copenhagen
The main mode of transportation for locals is by bike, otherwise the public transport system is very easy to use. You can go by bus, the S-train, underground metro, rent a car or even walk. You may find it helpful to download the public transport app, called "rejseplanen". This will provide up-to-date timetables and journey planning tools to help you find your way around. When crossing the streets or getting on/off the bus, be mindful of bicyclists. Copenhagen has a significant number of locals who commute by bicycle, so keep an eye out for the wide bicycle lanes. Bicyclists have the right of way, so ensure you yield to them when necessary.
How to get around in Denmark
If you are planning to travel around Denmark after the wedding, it may be helpful to know that Denmark is made up of three main land areas - Jylland, Fyn & SjĂŚlland (where Copenhagen is). These areas can be accessed by bus, train, plane and car. SB is the train company that connects Copenhagen to other areas of Denmark by train, and tickets can be bought here: www.dsb.dk/en
Transport to reception
We will be providing a coach service to take guests from Copenhagen to the wedding venue to reception and returning to Copenhagen after the evening celebrations. Please let us know if you would like a seat on the bus so that we can book the appropriate size coach. The bus will leave from Ingerslevsgade 22, 1705 København V, Denmark at 1:15pm for the church, and also take you from the church to the reception. The bus will leave the reception around midnight and return to Copenhagen.
