Venue and accommodation

The meeting will take place at the Danish Architecture Center (DAC), Bryghuspladsen 10, 1473 Copenhagen K.

To help participants plan for their travel and accommodation to the meeting, below we provide some basic information about how to get around and where to stay in the beautiful city of Copenhagen.

Participants planning to join the subsequent Black Holes Inside and Out conference should note that the Danish Architecture Center is right in front of the Black Diamond, the venue of the following conference, as to facilitate finding accommodation in a single place for both conferences.

How to get to the venue

Plane: Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) lies only about ten kilometers southeast of the venue. See travel routes from the airport to the venue here or read below.

Metro: The airport is at the end of the M2 Metro line which travels directly into central Copenhagen. You can take the metro from the airport station, Lufthavnen, to the Gammel Strand station and then walk to the venue (approximately 12 minutes walking). Alternatively, you can also exit at Christianshavn station and walk to the Black Diamond.

Either way, you should first purchase a 3-zone ticket (DKK 36.00), for example at the Airport DSB Travel Centre. If your ticket does not have the time already marked on it, be certain to have your ticket time-stamped before boarding the metro. Note that your ticket should still be valid for the S-train as well. You may also buy metro and bus tickets using your smart phone via the official DOT Tickets app; see the DOT (Din Offentlige Transport) page for more information. All three metro lines are in service 24/7 with intervals of 2–6 minutes between each train depending on the time of day. Friday and Saturday night (after 01:00), trains arrive with a 7–15 minutes interval and a 20 minutes interval after midnight on weekdays (Sunday through Thursday).

Train: Trains also run regularly between the airport and central Copenhagen. The train platforms are beneath Terminal 3.

Taxis: It is possible to reach the Danish Architecture Center by taking a taxi-cab directly from the airport. The cost of a ride should be about DKK 250–300. Please note that it might take longer than the metro.
