All big cities are expensive for students, so we have tried to
compile a series of budget options
Guest House Accommodation
A wide range of guest-houses
and sleep-ins are available in Copenhagen (prices without breakfast
around DKK 100.00). Also, 3-4 person rooms in budget hotels may
be an economic option.

that most hostels are on the map (link

Eating out and Entertainment
All lunches
during the conference are provided. In general, ethnic restaurants,
e.g. Thai or Turkish cuisine, provide a good and reasonably priced
meal. Also, most cafes serve dinner. The prices vary slightly depending
on locality and quality, but dinner usually costs around DKK 100.00.

and cultural arrangements, such as live music, movies and museums.
Transport
The public transport in Copenhagen
includes buses and metro, as well as S-trains, which serve the greater
Copenhagen region. Regional trains also serve Copenhagen Airport
, allowing quick transport to the Central Station. Purchased tickets
are valid for all four transport types. Price is determined by distance
and time of travel. For example, one can use the same ticket to take
the bus and then the S-train.

You may also get around
in Copenhagen with City Bikes. About 2500 bikes are scattered around
the city center in many racks. Here you can take out a bike for DKK
20.00 coin. The coin is returned when you return the bike to any
rack, you don't have to go back to where you got it. Notice, that
riding a City Bike is confined to the central part of city.

City Bike riding.
From the Airport
No need for a taxi or shuttlebus!
When you come out of the baggage area,
follow the black marble walkway about 200 m . There you will find
a kiosk where you can buy a train ticket to take you downtown (3
zone ticket, costs 25.50 DKK). Go down the steps on the right (Track
2) and take the train in the direction of Helsingør. Get of at
Hovedbanegården
(main Copenhagen train station)for the conference site, Tivoli Congress Center is located right behind the Main station.. The same ticket is also
good on buses and S-trains in the city center.
Changing Money
There is a bank for changing money at the Copenhagen Airport
in the baggage area. Note, that we use kroner in Denmark , not
Euros. You get a better rate of exchange in a bank (or in the
airport or main train station) than changing at a hotel. |
