City advice
Getting around
The Metro (600m) is the best way to get around
Nearest station (600m): Aksel Møllers Have Metro. This is part of "Cityringen" (The city ring), which connects you to the entire city.
Otherwise, the bus stops right outside the house on Godthåbsvej which goes towards the city. Or go down to Nordre Fasanvej (200m), and there are lines that go across/vertical of the city.
Getting around
Bikes: Copenhagen style
Feel free to use our two bikes (+ the one child seat). Most people in Copenhagen get around using bikes, and we ourselves rarely use public transportation. If you use them, remember to lock them, and please do not drive up or down the curbs.
