There are several ways to get to COPENHELL from central Copenhagen. We recommend that you choose either your bike, use public transportation or walk.
Likewise, we recommend that you don’t leave the festival site around midnight, right after the last band on the main stage is done. More music and entertainment will be available on the festival site after this, and it is way easier for everyone to leave the area when the traffic pressure has eased off. So stay a little longer – and get home much easier!
ON BIKE (AND SCOOTER)
Follow Refshalevej toward the festival site, and keep an eye out for the the sign on your right at the entrance to the big bicycle parking lot at Refshalevej 114. All bikes must be parked at the festival’s bicycle parking lot, as we reserve the right to remove all bikes that are left closer to the festival site if they obstruct the audience or our staff, or if they have to be removed for other reasons. The bicycle parking lot is situated only a few minutes’ walk away from the entrance to the festival site, so there is absolutely nothing to gain from attempting to parking your bike closer to the action.
You park your bike at your own risk, and the bicycle parking lot is not monitored. We recommend that you take a photo upon arrival showing the placement of your bike, which will make it a bit easier for you to find it again when you go back home.
We ask all bicyclists to be extremely considerate towards both pedestrians and other driving traffic on Refshalevej. You will help both us and everyone else if you stick to the right side of the road so buses and our production transport can get back and forth unhindered.
Furthermore, we ask all those who arrive by scooters that they park them in the bicycle parking area and not closer to the festival site or along the road. The more time we have to spend removing them from areas where they don’t belong, the less time we have to help traffic flow as freely as possible.
WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Movia offers several different options for getting from central Copenhagen to both the festival and COPENHELL Camping Kløverparken:
Bus 2A: Will follow its normal schedule between Copenhagen’s Main Train Station across Christianshavns Torv to the last stop at Refshalevej a few hundred meters from the COPENHELL entrance.
Extra buses (line 666): Will drive back and forth from Copenhagen’s Main Train Station across Christianshavns Torv to the stop at the festival site and back again when you need to go home.
Harbour buses: Will sail with extra departures between the city and COPENHELL (next to COPENHELL Camping Sønder Hoved a few minutes’ walk from the festival site). See their schedule at Rejseplanen. Please note that the harbour buses can hold no more than 80 passengers.
Extra buses for line 37: Extra buses have been added on both Wednesday and Sunday for line 37 that stops at COPENHELL Camping and COPENHELL Parking Kløverparken (Note: Not COPENHELL Parking Vindmøllevej).
You can plan your trip to COPENHELL with rejseplanen.dk. Please note that it will be easier to get on a bus from the Main Train Station in the rush hours (typically in the middle of the afternoon), as the buses tend to fill up quickly and won’t be able to pick up passengers at Christianshavns Torv.
ON FOOT
You can walk to COPENHELL from Christianshavn by Prinsessegade -> Danneskiold-Samsøes Allé -> Kongebrovej -> Refshalevej. Alternatively, you can walk from Nyhavn by Inderhavnsbroen -> Danneskiold-Samsøes Allé -> Kongebrovej -> Refshalevej.
Please note, that you can take a shortcut through Krudtløbsvej at the curve on Kongebrovej. This is a private area, and we request that everyone who chooses this route respects COPENHELL’s neighbours in this area: Avoid making noise when you move through the area – particularly when you go home from the festival late at night. Our neightbours have been listening to us all day and most of the night, and they really need their sleep.
Also avoid leaving any kinds of garbage in the local residents’ gardens and areas, and remember to use urinals and toilets on the way if nature calls. Nobody likes waking up to a mess and unpleasant smells the next morning – so please help us make our neighbours’ lives easier.
IMPORTANT: We ask all festival guests that leave the festival on foot at night to keep to the side of the road in order to ensure free passage for buses and our production transport. Therefore: Avoid walking in big groups in the middle of Refshalevej – both because of the transport that needs to get through and for your own security!
BY CAR
We recommend that COPENHELL’s guests leave the car at home and arrive at the festival by other means of transportation – but at the same time, we understand that some of you will have to use it.
As a rule of thumb, you are not allowed to drive a car closer to the festival site than the crossing at Refshalevej and Forlandet or the one at Forlandet and Vindmøllevej. All drivers of motorized vehicles who have no business in the area will be denied access and asked to turn around their vehicle.
COPENHELL’s primary parking lot is placed at Vindmøllevej 6. We ask that festival guests arriving by car walk from the parking lot to the festival along the marked route around Margretheholmen – it is faster and away from other traffic. Our extra parking lot in Kløverparken is placed on Raffinaderivej 14-16 and allows you to ue COPENHELL’s own shuttle buses between this camping area and the festival site.
COPENHELL’s disability parking lot is placed on Refshalevej 147. Festival guests with a valid parking card from Danske Handicaporganisationer (or an equivalent one from other countries) and a disabled parking ticket will be allowed access to this area.
IMPORTANT – DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP OF PEOPLE BY CAR
All drop-offs and pick-ups of people going to and from COPENHELL must be done in our Pick-up/Drop-off Zone outside COPENHELL’s parking lot on Vindmøllevej. We ask all pedestrians to follow the walking path from the parking lot south around Margretheholmen toward the festival area (follow the signs), so we can keep pedestrian traffic as far away as possible from Refshalevej, which will be very busy in the festival period.
Drop-off of camping guests and camping equipment for COPENHELL Camping Sønder Hoved used to take place in the ‘triangle’ across the disability parking lot at Refshalevej 147. This area will not be available this year, however, as the triangle area has been closed off. Instead, we ask camping guests to drive further into the area – to the crossing at the end of Refshalevej next to the bus turning area and to the left to the area aroind Refshalevej 150, where there will be pace to drop off persons and equipment before leaving the area again.
Please take care to place your vehicle off to the side of the road during drop-off and pick-up, and avoid disrupting our production transport and other traffic in the area. Also remember to the leave the area again quickly. Avoid leaving your car, as supervision of the public parking areas around COPENHELL will be intensified during the festival.
