Nearest big city
Copenhagen
How to get to the city
Landing at Copenhagen Airport :
There�s a direct train connection every 20 minutes to the
Central Station ( Hovedbaneg�rden ).
About 15 minutes. Further information here :
Copenhagen Airport
Traintravellers will arrive at the Central Station. Read more here :
Copenhagen Central Station
Norwegian and Polish fans will probably arrive on the ferries from Oslo, Swinoujscie and
Gdansk.. Right in the heart of Copenhagen. Near Nyhavn.
Nyhavn
How to get to the venue
Most places in Copenhagen can easily be reached by simply walking around. But we buses,
local trains and even a metro. Check out the ticket-system at
ht.dk
Click on 'tourist'. Be sure to buy a 'discount card' - in Danish iBl�t klippekort'. For 95
DKK you get 10 travels with public transport in the two inner zones ( including 'Parken' ).
These cards cannot be bought in the buses, but you can buy them at stations and in various
kiosks.
Beware that major route-changes are taking place from May 25th. This is very important if
you think you already know the lines to Parken. So you can use the following from the
city-center : Line 1A heading towards 'Hellerup', Line 14 towards 'Svanem�llen' and Line 15
towards 'Ryparken'. Bus nos 3 and 18 are also possible, but not from the city-center. And
do not worry : There are lots of public transport also after the concert.
Travel information
Almost everybody speaks English in Denmark, so don�t worry about not understanding how to
get to Parken.
Parken location
shows you how Parken is
situated. Don�t worry. You won�t be late. Except if you�re driving a car to the venue. Like
almost everywhere else parking can cause a problem and may be quite expensive. Take a look
at the official information in English here :

Recommended hotels
First of all you will like to find a place to stay. If you�re on a low budget this is the
place to stay :
http://www.sleep-in.dk/
It�s decent, clean and only 200 metres away from Parken.
If money isn�t your first concern, then be sure to book this hotel :
http://www.admiral-hotel.dk/default.aspx?s=4
It�s situated at the harbour near Nyhavn, the most beautiful part of the city centre - and
you may even walk ( 30 minutes ) to Parken from this hotel. The restaurant there is
excellent. Fans from Norway coming by boat will have to walk only 50 metres from the ferry.
A very fine hotel with a direct bus to Parken ( approx. 40 minutes ) can be found here :
http://www.hotel-memory.dk/
A mid-price hotel situated in what used to be the red-light district can be found here :
http://www.aok.dk/E/V/CPHDK/0006/40/52/3.html
This area - Vesterbro/Copenhagen V. - is a very nice place to stay in. Nice restaurants,
bars etc. Almost part of the city center. Direct bus to Parken ( 30 minutes ).
If you�re still not satisfied, then look here :

or

The Rolling Stones will - if they stay in Copenhagen - most likely stay here :

Recommended bars/restaurants
Just before the concert you may end up here five minutes away from Parken :
McGrath's Irish Pub
This could be the place to meet before the concert.
Or you may want to eat as well close to Parken, then it�s here :
Park Cafe
It�s almost impossible to write about resaturants.
Drinking a beer or two can be done everywhere, but a few very good places
have to be mentioned :
Also check out the following address
I Byen - a nice web-site only in
Danish.
