There are two ways to transport yourself around in Copenhagen. By public transport or by bicycle.

Travel planners

- But Copenhagen is also pretty well covered by Google Maps.
Public transport in Copenhagen consists of
- Metro - two lines M1 and M2
  - most important is line M2 which connects to the airport
  - The metro operates 24/7
  - Btw. if you see a construction site in the city of Copenhagen it is probably related to the undergoing expansion of the Metro in Copenhagen.
- S-tog (City train)
  - S-tog connects most of greater Copenhagen with train lines
  - Most important lines are Line A and Line E that connect the Central Station (Hovedbanegården) and Nørreport Station with Lyngby Station (where DTU is located)
- Busses
  - Copenhagen is connected with a vast network of Busses
  - Most important bus lines are 150S and 173E that brings you from the main hub Nørreport to DTU.
