Trasportation guide
From the airport in Kastrup to the central train station you can
take the SAS airport bus, which is direct (one stop), or the
HT express bus 250S. The SAS bus may be more comfortable with
more room for baggage and it terminates at the central station, it
has a separate fare of about DKK 30 and it takes about 20 minutes.
The 250S bus may be up to 10 minutes slower
(in all 25-27 minutes), but
the fare is inclusive in a combined ticket Airport-Snekkersten
(9 HT-zones) that you have to pay anyway for the distance
from the central station to Snekkersten; be sure to get off at the
Central station.
From the central station, take the train
called København H - Helsingør. The train leaves daily each 20th
minute e.g. each 09, 29 and 49. In the rush hours it also leaves each
01, 21 and 41. The travel to Snekkersten station last about 52 minutes
(the 12th stop of the train on the rute). In the train there is
a map so that it is possible to follow the route.
(Please do not get confused about a direct train from the airport
to Snekkersten, this line will only open a month after the meeting).
Scanticon Borupgaard is situated 150 meters from the station (right
opposite).
Tickets are to be bought in the automatic ticket machines at the
stations or at the ticket office at the Central Station or
at a bus driver.
The price depends on the zones your travel is going trough. To get to
Snekkersten from Copenhagen Central Station you have to buy a ticket
with all zones to the price of DKK 38,50. This price is also
good for a combined bus/train journey Airport-Snekkersten
with bus 250S and the train (further information can be
seen at www.ht.dk - use the "turist"
button for information in English).
A taxi from the airport to Snekkersten may be about DKK 700 (USD 100),
and my estimate is that it would take about 50 minutes. If you rent a
car, I will recommend to use the motorway from the airport, and
head towards
Helsingør. The speed limit in Denmark on motorways are 110 km/h,
in townships 50 km/h.
