Time Tables For time tables on public transportation please go to "Rejseplanen" at "www.rejseplanen.dk" (you can change the language to english!) Here you can plug in start point and destination and it will give you a list of routes. Tickets Tickets to public transportation can be bought at ticket machines at any train and metro station. We suggest that you buy a single fare ticket when travelling from the airport to your hotel and vice versa. We suggest that those of you who stay at Hotel Mercur or Hotel Scandic Webers buy a 24-hour-ticket Thursday and Friday morning to cover your transportation to and from DTU. For visitors staying at Hotel Fortunen and Hotel Scandic Eremitage: You will need cash in order to buy tickets when heading to DTU. It's 24 kroner each way (2-zone ticket each way), so we suggest that you withdraw 100 danish kroner. This can be done at the airport! Tickets are validated and ready for use the very second you purchase them! You don't have to validate/stamp them. When buying a 3-zone or 5-zone ticket, it covers all busses, S-trains and trains within the zones. You don't have to buy another ticket when switching busses, trains and S-trains. If I have written "buy a 3-zone ticket" it covers the whole journey! Taxis Taxis are ridiculously expensive in Denmark, and it should be easy to get around with public trans- portation if you follow this guide. Emergency Call 112 for emergency. Please don't hestitate to call me, Magnus Paludan, on +45 27598389 or Kaare H. Jensen on +45 22315241 if you have any questions (or if you are lost!). 2 2 Map of DTU Figure 2: Map of DTU 3 3 Arriving at Copenhagen Airport When arriving at Copenhagen Airport you want to make your way to the metro station.
