Travel
Copenhagen is served by an international airport, the Copenhagen Central Railway Station and a network of motorways.
Copenhagen's international airport (Kastrup) is the largest in the Nordic countries. A number of airlines operate to and from Copenhagen - please note that SAS offers a special discount on tickets as the official airline for the IIRA European Congress 2010. Delegates continuing to BUIRA's 60th anniversary conference in Manchester 1-3 July may also use the discount on the Manchester flights operated by SAS. Read more
The Metro from Copenhagen Airport offers you a direct train every 4-6 minutes to the city centre of Copenhagen and will take approximately 15 minutes. For further information, please check the Copenhagen Metro website
A taxi from Copenhagen Airport to the city centre is approximately DKK 250 (no extra charges for suitcases).
When in Copenhagen, trains, buses, and ferries operate very frequently on a daily basis.
