NWB'2026 will take place at the Black Diamond, The Royal Library , located on the waterfront in central Copenhagen (Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, 1221 Copenhagen). 

The venue is easily accessible by public transport:

• Metro: Nearest station is Gammel Strand (approx. 10 minutes’ walk)

• Bus: Several bus lines stop near Slotsholmen

• Train: From Copenhagen Central Station, the venue can be reached within approximately 20 minutes walk

Copenhagen has a well-developed public transportation system covering the city and surrounding metropolitan area. The system consists of metro lines, buses, and S-trains (commuter rail), which are integrated through a common ticketing system.

The Copenhagen Metro operates continuously (24 hours a day) and provides rapid connections between key locations, including Copenhagen Airport and the city centre, with a travel time of approximately 12 minutes.

Public transportation operates on a zone-based fare system, allowing passengers to transfer seamlessly between different modes of transport using the same ticket.  For visitors, several ticketing options are available. These include single tickets, time-limited travel passes (e.g., City Pass), and the Copenhagen Card, which provides unlimited travel on all public transport within the capital region in addition to access to a wide range of cultural attractions. 

We recommend using the Journey Planner  (Rejseplan) to plan your trips and the Rejsebillet app to book your tickets.

Copenhagen offers a broad range of accommodation options, including hotels, hostels, guesthouses, and short-term rental apartments. Options are available across different price levels and preferences.

Due to the compact size of the city and the accessibility of public transportation, it is generally easy to reach the conference venue from most parts of Copenhagen. However participants may wish to consider accommodation in the following areas:

• Indre By (City Centre) – within walking distance of the Black Dimanond and main attractions

• Christianshavn – centrally located with direct access via metro and walking routes

• Vesterbro – well connected via public transport and close to Copenhagen Central Station

• Nørrebro / Østerbro – slightly further from the centre but easily accessible by metro and bus
