Copenhagen Away 23/24

[Indaparkside]

Don't despise it but like to see what's going on ,do most euro aways but not doing this one again ,we have been to so many great cities this one is a disappointment,I would class Porto , Prague,Antwerp lubijan,Wroclaw , Bruges,Gent,Dresden ,Lisbon ,genoa as a few good cities ,last week we did stockholm which turned out to be fantastic as opposed to Malmö which is probably as bad as it gets after Charleroi which is petty much identical to Chernobyl.

The pub he’s on about is ok but gets boring after a while guy singing city songs over-and over again went in 2022 going again but won’t be using them boozers this time found it a bit shit

I phoned supporter services and they have now emailed me. What it should be is an email with the booking confirmation which has the ticket attached as a pdf which you need to print off

Cheers for that, I didn’t get a PDF.

6 of us planning on going Malmo on Monday, any tips where best to go for a good drink

Yes.

The main drinking areas are Lilla Torg. It is in the centre (5mins away from the Malmö Centrum Train St.)

There are quite a few bars / cafe's on the square. I would normally go into a place called Drum Bar (a Scottish pub) but plenty of choice around here.


The other drinking area is called Möllan - About a 5 to 10 min walk from the train station Triangeln (20 - 30 mins walk from Lilla Torg). It's another square with bars/restaurants on but in the centre. Has a bit more of a mix of normal bars and hipster type places and a little bit cheaper for a pint.

A few other places in between are called paddy's, fagans, bullen, pivo that are decent enough and in between the two squares.

A lot of bars also do their happy hours called AfterWork (AW) around 5pm.

@Maansen Hello mate, i am just trying to work out what ticket i should buy to use for travel when I get to Copenhagen next week. Google maps recommends me a bus from airport to my hotel, then get to the ground on Tuesday, you recommend to walk from the Old Irish to Vesterport and take the train to Østerport station.

This is when i land and take off, Monday and Wednesday.

12 Feb 2024	14:15Copenhagen
14 Feb 2024	17:55Copenhagen

So just over 48hrs really.

Seems like a single journey is 30dkk on the bus, so 60 dkk to go from airport to hotel, then back again on the Wednesday.
24dkk from Vesterport to Osterport. So 48dkk return.

108kk in total. In comparison it looks like a City Pass Small is 220k for 72hrs (I think 48hrs would be cutting it too close unless I just leave the city early to get to the airport). Buying the pass just removes the need to keep manually buying tickets I suppose?
I think a Copenhagen Card is a bit expensive, i dont think ill use it for much of the attractions. A lot seem free which is handy.

I am staying right next to Polititorvet station so looks like I am walking distance to most attractions so I dont think I will be using any transport outside of getting to and from irish bar and the airport.

Hi mate, both will do fine. If you dont want to think too much about buying tickets and expect to go around town a lot then get the pass else just buy when needed. Not much of a difference in the end.

Much appreciated for this mate, will they be doing food as well? ( providing it's not Jerk Chicken! :-) )

No food but you have everything within 100m of the pub !

 

[Maansen]

Best prices in Copenhagen!

Every euro away is the same.
These pubs are great if you are desperate to meet up with other Blues and have a sing song etc
Especially if its a second or third trip to same city its good to explore more.

BTW the prices are excellent ...

This is the thing about cities. I first went to Copenhagen to watch England in August 2005 and thought it was a great city. Went back in February a few years later and it was dark and damp so a totally different feel.
I went to Malmo with work and got took on a pub crawl with locals and had a great time and I went to Stockholm with England and was disappointed.
I’ve done 85 aways with England and quite a few with City. Basically, it’s all about your experience and you shouldn’t go on other people’s opinions.

Agree with you about the weather when we were in Antwerp had a day of miserable rain next day sunshine had to re do all the photos ,felt like a different city .
Another example was Munich last year grim and raining never want to go again but I guess it would be different in sunshine.
One thing I don't get is people rating cities on pubs .all cities have pubs and shit cities can have good pubs ,I personally don't see the point in travelling somewhere to spend all day in a pub if I wanted to do that I'd go my local

Just got the below from the club....

• The metro service in Copenhagen will be out of service. Fans are advised to use the S-Train and depart at Svanemøllen Station. This is approx. a 20 min walk therefore fans with reduced mobility are advised there are buses from Svanemøllen Station (1A towards Avedøre and then get off at the bus stop “Århusgade” which is the closest public transport stop near the stadium.

The message from the club isnt quite right. It's only 2 of the metro lines that are closed, not the entire metro system.

I did a post earlier in this thread about it, but see below again for info.

The club are advising getting off the S-Train at Svanemollen, whereas I previously said Osteport. I've had a look and it's 6 and two 3s in terms of walking distance (both 20 mins).




Metro from airport to the centre is still operating - the 'yellow' M2 line takes you into Kongens Nytorv in the city centre.

The 'red' M3 circle and 'blue' half-circle M4 lines are closed which includes the line to the stadium (metro station for the stadium is called Trianglen).

From what I can tell the best option for getting to the stadium is a mainline train from the city centre (main station is called Kobenhavn H, or Vesterport which is near the Irish bar). Takes 5-10 mins from those stations to the nearest station to the stadium which is Osterport, it's then a 20 min walk to the stadium from there.

Travellers in Copenhagen without M3 and M4 for two weeks in February- M1 and M2 normal

The two metro lines in Copenhagen must close to be able to prepare for the opening of the metro prolongation to Sydhavn and Valby The ...

I agree with everything said here.

 

[Sheriff Fatman]

I agree with everything said here.

I was looking at this earlier before I had seen it on here.

It seems to be 3 or 4 minutes less walking to get off the S train at Nordhavn and then it's a straight walk to the away end.

Would that also work?

Thanks

I thought Aarhus was better than Copenhagen. Stayed there when we played Midtyjlland and Aalborg. A fantastic place, huge student population, lots of music venues, ultra modern, with seaside beaches. A total surprise. Copenhagen was ok but Aarhus was great with fantastic transport links and some great bars.

simply looking at google maps, all 3 train stations of Svanemøllen, Osterport and Nordhavn appear to be between 20 and 25 mins walk and looks like the 3 stations are all on the same line

Just get off at the same station where most of the Copenhagen fans get off

I would be very careful buying smoke from there as Copenhagen Police have implemented a targeted heightened penalty zone on and around Christiania, effective from January 10, 2024.

Perfectly fine to have a walk there.

So where would be best to get some smoke haha

That can work as well. Only like 100m difference but either is fine.
