Welcome

We're getting married

It took a city in the desert for two Scandinavians to find each other. Now we're bringing it home to Copenhagen, and we can't wait to celebrate with the people we love most.

Where to Stay

Our recommendation

We recommend staying in the city centre, close to a Metro station. You'll be a short walk or ride from the church, and the airport is a few stops away.

We've arranged 15% off at Go Hotel Østerport. Use the code Ester&William when you book.

The ceremony is at Holmens Kirke in the city centre, and the celebration continues at Sølyst in Klampenborg, about 20 minutes north along the coast. The airport is 15 minutes from the city by Metro.

Getting here

Travel

Flying in

Fly into Copenhagen Airport (CPH) in Kastrup.

By boat from Oslo

Travelling by car, or just want something more festive? Take the overnight ferry from Oslo. It arrives in Copenhagen in the morning, a short taxi or Metro ride from the city centre.

Airport to the city

The Metro (M2) runs from the airport to Kongens Nytorv in the city centre in about 15 minutes, and it runs all night. Regional trains go to Copenhagen Central Station, and taxis wait just outside the arrivals hall.

Buy tickets in the Rejsebillet or Rejsekort app, or at the ticket machines at the airport or any station.

To Holmens Kirke

The church is on Holmens Kanal, about a four-minute walk from both Gamle Strand and Kongens Nytorv Metro stations.

To and from Sølyst

Take the train from the city centre to Klampenborg station. Sølyst is a 15-minute walk from the station. Trains leave frequently during the day, and every half hour through the night, taking you straight back into the city centre.

Taxis are also easy to get with Uber or Bolt.
