Directions from Copenhagen Airport

By train:

Take the Metro to Nørreport station, switch to an S-train (-line, direction Farum), go to station. Do NOT take the -line to Farum as this doesn’t stop at Emdrup station.

Tickets (good for all types of trains and buses) are available at the DSB ticket sales counter in Terminal 3. They are also available from ticket machines on S-tog stations and Metro stations. Please note that the ticket machines do not accept notes, only coins and cards such as the Dankort, VISA, etc. You need to purchase a ticket for 3 ‘zones’ to get from the airport to campus, or a multi-ticket card (Klippekort). Multicards must be stamped BEFORE you board the train. Look for yellow machines near the entrance to platforms, insert your ticket so it goes ‘click’.

The Metro at the end of Terminal 3 runs at 4-6 minutes' intervals during the day and evening hours and every 15-20 minutes throughout the night.
