Travelling to Copenhagen

Arriving at Copenhagen Airport

Copenhagen has excellent international air connections.

Travel documents

Entry into the country is granted to all foreigners taking part in congresses organized in Denmark, regardless of their nationality. Delegates must, of course, meet the normal requirements; i.e., they must possess valid travel documents and sufficient means of support. Delegates requiring a visa for entry into Denmark are strongly advised to submit the application in their home country at least three months before the intended date of travel. Visa application procedures are easier when the acknowledgement of registration is included.

Money

Denmark is not part of the Euro zone. The local currency is Kroner. Money can be withdrawn from the many Automatic Teller Machines (ATM’s) that are located throughout the city and are accessible 24 hours per day. There is an ATM and a bank in the University’s Main Building. Most banks are open from Monday to Friday between 10 am and 4 pm. All major credit cards are widely accepted, but not universally.

Local climate

Danish weather is much like Dutch weather. Current weather conditions and forecasts can for example be found here.

Electricity

The voltage in Denmark is 220 volts. Hotels may have a 110-volt or 120-volt outlet for shavers. Depending on your country of residence, you may wish to bring along a universal travellers’ plug.

Language

The national language is Danish. However, almost everyone speaks English, and some speak also German and French.

Time

Denmark is in the Central European Time Zone.

Smoking

Smoking is prohibited in public buildings, including the Technical University.

Tipping

Value Added Tax and service charges are included in your check in hotels, shops, taxis and restaurants. Tipping is always appreciated but not necessary.
