Getting into Town: If you want to get right to sightseeing, you're within

guided walk begins.
Hotels are scattered far and wide around town. It's best to get arrival in-
structions from your hotelier, but if you're on your own, here are some tips:
To reach hotels behind the station, slip out the back door—just go down
the stairs at the back of the station marked Reventlowsgade .
For hotels near Nørreport (Ibsens and Jørgensen), ride the S-tog from the
station two stops to Nørreport, within about a 10-minute walk of the hotels.
For hotels near Nyhavn (71 Nyhavn and Bethel Sømandshjem), you can
take the S-tog to Nørreport, then transfer to the Metro one stop to Kongens
Nytorv, within a 10-minute walk of Nyhavn. Or you can take bus #11A or #15
(or #26 from around the corner) to Kongens Nytorv, next to Nyhavn.
Note: If you're staying near Nørreport (or near Nyhavn, an easy Metro
connection from Nørreport), check your train schedule carefully; many local
trains (such as some from Roskilde) continue through the main train station to
the Nørreport station, saving you an extra step.
By Plane
Kastrup, Copenhagen's international airport, is a traveler's dream, with a
TI, baggage check, bank, ATMs, post office, shopping mall, grocery store,
bakery,and more. There are three check-in terminals, within walking distance
of each other (departures screens tell you which terminal to go to). But on
arrival, all flights feed into one big arrivals lobby in Terminal 3. When you
pop out here, there's a TI kiosk on your left, taxis out the door on your right,
trains straight ahead, and shops and eateries filling the atrium above you. You
can use dollars or euros at the airport, but you'll get change back in kroner
