Transport
Public Transport in Copenhagen
You can travel around Copenhagen
by bus, metro and S-train.
You can check the public transport schedule
on Google Maps or on Rejseplanen.
Getting from the airport to the center:
When you land at Copenhagen Airport, the easiest way
to get to the city center is to take the metro and get off
at Nørreport Station. It takes 15 min to get to the center
with metro. Both metro lines (M1 and M2) go in the
same direction, so you don’t need to worry about going
the wrong way. You can also take a bus, regional train
or taxi, but metro is definitely the fastest option.
At Nørreport Station you can switch to buses and
S-trains to get to your hotel/hostel
or your host’s place.
Tickets:
Depending on how long you are planning to stay in Cph,
and on the distance between your accommodation and
our venues, you can choose between several ticket options:
Single tickets, 24- or 72-hour City Pass, 7 day Flexcard.
You can buy tickets in ticket machines or 7 Eleven kiosks
at the train and metro stations. In the airport arrival hall
and at Copenhagen Central Station there is a DSB ticket
office as well as ticket machines.
Remember that travelling without a valid ticket will
result in a fine of up to 750 DKK.
Getting to Tangobar, the Pre-Party venue:
With metro:
Get to Islands Brygge Station (line M1) and walk 5 min
to Tangobar
With bus:
Option A – Get to Klaksvigsgade with bus 5A and walk

Option B -Get to Weidekampsgade with bus 12, 33
or 250S and walk 4 min to Tangobar

Daytime Activities
Vintage Pub Crawl (14:30-17:30)
Meeting place: Bootleggers, Linnesgade 16, København K
Check the Facebook event!
For CPH:LX we have 160 international dancers from 23 different countries
coming to town. We wanted to create an opportunity for everyone to meet

you: The Vintage Pub Crawl!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Guided tour in Freetown Christiania (13.00 – 15.00)
Meeting place: Gallopperiet in Loppen
Price: 50 DKK in cash, paid upon arrival
Join us for a guided tour around the Freetown Christiania, famous for being a
place to buy pot, hash and other soft drugs in Pusher Street (illegally).
But perhaps also for being the last remnants of the peace and love hippie
movement in Europe and the most multicultural place in Denmark.
Vintage Walk (16.00 – 18.00)
Meeting place: Torvehallerne, on the Nørreport St. Side
We will meet at Torvehallerne (market halls), maybe grab a cup of coffee to go,
and then head to the city center to visit the best vintage shops in the capital,
among them Decor, one of the brightest stars at our vintage sky. We will end the
tour in the newest vintage pearl, A Touch of Vintage, who has invited us for a nice
glass of port and a look at the new shop that hasn’t even opened officially yet!
In The Men’s Dressing Room (16.00 – 17.30)
Meeting place: Torvehallerne, on the Nørreport St. Side
Gentlemen (& ladies interested), come with Shorty to a sophisticated Men’s Shop
(Herrernes Magasin), and see first hand what different vintage styles there are.
Even try it on for yourself. Shorty might even pick some things out for you. Try
bow-ties, ties, collar bars, collar pins, suspenders, buttons, jackets of different
fabrics, and things with colour accent.
Extra: Men’s Fashion evening taster (18.00 – 19.00)
After the visit at the shop, you can come to Søpavillonen for a Retro/Vintage Men’s
Fashion Taster class in Søpavillonen at 18.00, where Shorty will teach you how to
style yourself up as the best reflection of you.

Boat Trip with Live Music (12.45 – 14.00) Meeting place: Stormbroen
We will sail through the many small channels of Copenhagen and enjoy the
beautiful city from the water. New Orleans rhythms will accompany us on the
trip, performed live by Chris Tanner & Friends. The trip will take app. 1 hour.
This year we booked two boats (both with live music!), so there should be
enough room for everyone.
Dance Parade through the city (14.15 – 16.30) Meeting place: Storkespringvandet (Amagertorv 6)
After the Boat Trip, we will do a swingin’ and dancing parade through the city,
led by Chris Tanner & Friends. We will walk to several beautiful squares in the
Inner City and dance our way through the streets.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Potluck Brunch (13.00 – 15.00) Meeting place: Søpavillonen (main party venue)
Never has a lindy hopper seen so much delicious food and pancakes. You will
get a chance to eat delicious food, mingle with the other lindy hoppers, and
listen to good swing tunes in the background. The brunch will have a potluck
character, which means that everyone who wants to join brings some food with
them.
Join the Potluck Brunch by filling in your name in this Google Doc spreadsheet.
If you can´t open the document, it is also possible to sign up at the check-in desk
during the whole event.

Competitions
We have two competitions for you at CPH:LX 2015:
Thursday:
Intermediate J&J (ONLY for dancers
with 2 years of experience or less)
Prelims: 21.45
Finals: 23.30
Saturday:
Advanced J&J (Any level can sign up)
Prelims: 20.00
Finals: 22.30
A Jack & Jill (J&J) competition means that you sign up
without a partner, and that you get a random partner
in both prelims and finals. It’s a competition all about
improvisation and lead/follow.
You can sign up for both competitions at our Check-In
desk – it’s free. There is a limited amount of spaces
available though, so don’t wait too long!
All competitions take place at the main party venue, in
the grand ballroom.
We have great prizes for the both 1st, 2nd and 3rd
places in both competitions. So come have a fun
experience and a chance at winning one of the great
prizes!
