Arriving by Airplane
The Kastrup Airport lies about only about six miles to the southeast from the Institute. See travel routes from the airport to the institute here or read below.
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 and then walk to the institute. Alternatively, if you want a shorter walk, change to Metro line M3 at Kongens Nytorv Station, ride the M3 line to Trianglen Station and then walk about 400 m to the institute. Either way, you should first purchase a 3-zone ticket (DKK 36.00), 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. Note that your ticket should still be valid for the S-train as well. You may also buy Metro and bus tickets using your smart phone via the official DOT Tickets app; see the DOT (Din Offentlige Transport) page for more information.
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.
Taxi-cabs: It is possible to reach the Institute by taking a taxi-cab directly from the airport. The cost of a ride should be about DKK 250–300. Please note, that it might take longer than e.g. the metro.
Arriving by Train
If you are travelling by train, most likely you will be arriving at the Copenhagen Central Station (Københavns Hovedbanegård).
Taxi-cabs: From the station, you can take a taxi-cab directly to the Niels Bohr Institute, at Blegdamsvej 17.
Metro: Take Metro line M3 from Copenhagen Central Station to Trianglen Station, then walk about 400 m to the institute. You must purchase a 2-zone ticket, for example from one of the automated machines in the station. You may also buy Metro and bus tickets using your smart phone via the official DOT Tickets app; see the DOT (Din Offentlige Transport) page for more information.
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).
Directions for walking to the Institute:
From Trianglen (about 0.25 miles or 400 m)
From Nørreport (about 1.3 miles or 2.0 km)
From Østerport (about 0.9 miles or 1.5 km)
