As a 'local' I would also like to point out that we have a fairly
efficient public transportations system in Copenhagen. Especially the
metro will transport you easily and fast to and from the city center
and Bella Center / the airport.

You can buy a 3-zone 'klippekort' at the airport metro station, and
you should be all set for the first couple of days.

http://www.rejseplanen.dk/ will help you find your way, if you choose
to use public transportation.

Hope to see you all soon at UDS
