Spend time - not money - in Copenhagen... and here's how:
Getting There By Train 
Good for the environment. Convenient for you. Travel by train from
EURO 129 to WOMEX from Germany.
Thanks to the offer of our local partner
Welcome Meeting Management and
Deutsche Bahn you can save money by visiting WOMEX. Get on board and profit from attractive prices and great conditions for train travel.
Have a
good connection to your venue and to nature! Each train journey produces
two-thirds less carbon dioxide than a car journey, and compared with plane travel it's an even more respectable
three-quarters less.

Getting Around
Public Transport in Copenhagen 
A blue
two-zone 10-clip ticket costs DKK 140 – almost half-price per ride compared to a standard ticket. One clip is all it takes to get by metro from the WOMEX daytime venue Forum Copenhagen to the WOMEX nighttime venue DR Koncerthuset (and two clips from the airport to any of the two venues). And you have a whole hour to hop on and off and explore in the same zone – by metro, train and bus. You can buy multi-ride tickets at all metro stations, most kiosks – and the airport!

Rent-a-Bike 
Want to be flexible and independent from public transport schedules and routes?
Rent a bike! The budget model will cost you
DKK 220 for five full days from
Baisikeli. It's a 700m-walk from the WOMEX daytime venue Forum Copenhagen to their shop or approximately 200m-walk from Dybbølsbro Station (S-train).

Copenhagen Map Surf a Couch in Copenhagen 
One frequent comment in last year's WOMEX survey was that Copenhagen is a very expensive place to visit. So, we've been asking ourselves:
How can we make spending time in Copenhagen easier and more personal for music professionals from around the globe? We believe that
CouchSurfing.org could be a good solution.
CouchSurfing is an international non-profit network that connects travelers with locals in over 230 countries and territories around the world. Since 2004, members have been using the system to
come together for cultural exchange, friendship, and learning experiences.
We have invited WOMEXicans based in Copenhagen to register with CouchSurfing.org and
offer their sofa to you, WOMEX delegates from all over the world, for a few days.
WOMEX is all about networking, isn't it? And maybe one day you will be offering your couch to WOMEX delegates coming to your town?
Registering for CouchSurfing.org is
free of charge. However, if you would like to become a
verified member (and have your postal address confirmed for safety reasons) you will be asked to make a small donation.
Please note: When you create your profile after you have registered for CouchSurfing.org, make sure to
mention "WOMEX" in the field "Current Mission" so that WOMEX delegates will be able to identify each other on CouchSurfing.org.
WOMEX is also listed in the Meeting section on CouchSurfing.org -
please join as a member. This too will help WOMEXicans to
connect to each other on CouchSurfing.org.
Last but not least, we encourage you to find a WOMEXican from Copenhagen to host you, but if you think that someone else's CouchSurfer profile fits your plans just as well,
we won't keep you from making contact with other locals. However, read this person's profile and references online carefully before you get in touch with him or her to be on the safe side - CouchSurfing is
your own responsibility.
