For business in Copenhagen, where to stay depends on your meetings. Indre By (around Kongens Nytorv) suits client meetings with law firms, banks and embassies. Vesterbro and Central Station suit trains to Malmö and quick airport access. Ørestad suits Bella Center congresses (10 minutes from CPH). Nordhavn and Østerbro suit UN City and the newer offices. Hellerup suits the coastal HQs. With a chauffeur or the metro, nowhere is more than about 30 minutes from anywhere else.

Choosing well
- Congress at Bella Center? Stay in Ørestad, or in the centre with a daily car. See CPH to Bella Center.
- Meetings in Malmö too? Stay near Central Station for fast trains, or book a car. See CPH to Malmö.
- Client dinners every night? Indre By puts the best restaurants within walking distance. See Michelin restaurants.
- Early flight home? Anywhere central is fine with a pre-booked car. For very early departures, see hotels near Copenhagen Airport.
Getting between meetings
The metro links Indre By, Christianshavn, Ørestad, Nordhavn and the airport, and is ideal for single trips. For days with several meetings in different districts, a car by the hour is faster and lets you work in between. See hourly chauffeur hire and executive chauffeur service.
