By air

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is the main international gateway, well connected across Europe and beyond, with a direct metro and train link to the city centre.

+The campus sits about 15 km north of central Copenhagen, in Kongens Lyngby. There are two sensible approaches: stay locally in Lyngby, which gives you a short walk to the venue and quiet evenings, or stay in Copenhagen and travel in each morning, which takes roughly 40 minutes. Both work well. Lyngby has very few hotels, so if you want to be within walking distance, book early. + +> Walking times, journey times and prices below are approximate and intended as a planning aid. Rates might vary considerably with date and demand, so please check current prices for your own dates before submitting anything to your finance office. + +## Staying near the venue + +> **Please note:** Lyngby town centre currently has no hotel. Scandic Eremitage has closed, and the Comwell hotel that will replace it on top of Lyngby Storcenter is still under construction and will not be open in October. The genuinely close options are therefore limited and are likely to fill up. + +

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Lyngby10–15 min walk
+

Lundtoftegårdsvej 12, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby

+

The closest hotel to campus. Standard rooms plus studios with kitchenettes, free parking, breakfast. A plain business hotel with little around it — pleasant enough, but not near shops or restaurants.

+
+
+
Hotel Fortunen2.5 km; 24 min bus ride, 31 min walk
+

Ved Fortunen 33, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby

+

A historic inn on the edge of Dyrehaven, with its own restaurant. Characterful and good value, but small — worth booking early.

+
+
+
Living Suites15-20 min by bus
+

Rundforbivej 295, 2850 Nærum

+

Apartment hotel with kitchenettes, guest laundry and social lounge area. Good for longer stays and self-catering; public transport from here is less direct than from Lyngby.

+
+
+
Frederiksdal Sinatur Hotel & Konference≈25 min by car
+

Frederiksdalsvej 360, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby

+

A lakeside hotel beside the forest, and the nicest setting on this list. The bus outside runs roughly hourly, so it works best if you have a car.

By train

-

Copenhagen is connected by rail to the rest of Denmark, Sweden (via the Øresund Bridge), and continental Europe.

+
+ +## Staying in Copenhagen + +Many attendees might prefer to be in the city for livelier evenings and commute to DTU. Anywhere on the northern S-train corridor works well. Nørreport is the most convenient single point: direct S-trains to Lyngby, the 150S bus to campus, and the metro to the airport. Østerport, Vesterport, København H (Copenhagen Central Station), and Svanemøllen are all straightforward too. + +The suggestions below are starting points rather than endorsements, and are grouped only by rough price level. + +

An example trip from Central Copenhagen to DTU covers 5 zones. +- For visitors, the simplest option is the Rejsebillet app for single tickets, or a City Pass for unlimited travel over 24 to 120 hours. +- The price for a single ticket from Central Copenhagen to DTU is 46 DKK (6.15 EUR). +- If you only plan to commute to DTU, without taking other means of transports in the evenings, buying a single ticket each way is more convenient. +- If you decide to travel more often, you might consider a City Pass for different number of days, and it can be bought under “Special Tickets” in the Rejsebillet app. Choose City Pass Large (zones 1–99). It covers the airport, central Copenhagen and DTU. City Pass Small does not reach DTU. +- Remember to buy a ticket before getting on the bus/train/metro. Fines are steep and are issued on the spot. + +### From the airport + +Copenhagen Airport (CPH) to campus takes about an hour by public transport.

Local operators include Dantaxi, Taxa 4x35 and Uber, all of which have apps. -A list of recommended hotels and student-friendly options near the venue and city centre will be published here soon. +## A few practical notes -## Visas +
    +
  • Book early. There are only a handful of rooms genuinely close to campus, and Copenhagen fills up quickly.
    • +
  • Cycling is a real option. Donkey Republic rental bikes are widely available, Lyngby to campus is an easy ride, and the whole route in from the city follows protected cycle paths, but will take around 50 min.
    • +
  • October weather is typically 8–13 °C, often wet and windy. Bring a waterproof layer and shoes you can walk in.
    • +
  • Plan routes with Google Maps or Rejseplanen app (different from Rejsebillet app). It is the local standard and handles the light rail, buses and trains together.
