Forum Copenhagen

And here about the WOMEX daytime venue on the
Copenhagen map
Forum Copenhagen is :
- 2 minutes away from cosy restaurants, kebab shops, a supermarket, a bakery, even a liquor shop... You name it, we've got it.
- a 10-minute walk away from the city hall square and Tivoli Gardens.
- 3 stations away from the central train station by metro + S-train.
- 15 minutes away from the airport if you take the metro M2.
Ninety years of history...
The new WOMEX daytime location was built in the 1920s to host a dernier-cri car show. Since then it has accommodated markets and fairs from fresh fishes to books and concerts from Tokio Hotel to Leonard Cohen. During World War II the Danish resistance movement destroyed the hall in an act of sabotage. Before this, and also after its reconstruction Forum CPH was also home to numerous annual 6-day bicycle races until they moved to another location in the 1990s.
WOMEX '10 online registration and trade fair stand sale will open in April. A list of hotels ranging from budget to luxury will be made available online soon. Should you want to start looking for accommodation on your own make sure it is close to the metro line M1.
