Столица Дании - Копенгаген - аэропорт имеет impressive. It is considered the largest in the whole of the Scandinavian Peninsula. And in Europe, Kastrup (Kastrup) - as the Copenhagen air terminal is officially called - takes the honorable seventeenth position. The popularity of this air gate is growing from year to year. From here, one hundred and eleven destinations worldwide send their aircraft to sixty-three airlines. In 2012, Kastrup let through more than twenty three million passengers. And now every day the airport serves about sixty thousand people. How not to get lost in this influx of passengers? How to get to the city center? Where to spend the night nearby? Let's look at these questions.
Kastrup History
This is one of the oldest airports in Europe.It was erected in 1925. Fifteen years later, a small building, called “Wooden Castle”, turned into a museum, and in its place was built a terminal designed by Wilhelm Lauritzen. After that, Kastrup received a new name - Copenhagen Airport. However, this building was also reconstructed in the late 60s of the last century. Now the airport of the capital of Denmark has three terminals, the fourth is being built - specifically for low-cost service. All these buildings are located on the island of Amager, in the municipality of Tornby. But the airport is not far from the center of the capital of Denmark. It is only eight kilometers southeast of the city.
Infrastructure Kastrup
Now "Copenhagen" (airport) has turned intosmall town. There are three main terminals in it, one more should open now. The first, oldest, is adapted for the adoption of domestic flights. Terminal 1, or, as it is also called, “seven small houses” (according to the number of adjacent pavilions), serves the campaigns of Cimber Air, Danish Airlines and SAS. Airplanes depart from it to Billund, Bornholm, Karup, Aalborg, Aarhus and Sonderborg. In the corridor you can go to terminal number 2. It, like number 3, is already used for international flights.
Уточнить, откуда именно отправляется ваш рейс, The Copenhagen Airport Scheme, which is located in the arrivals and departures halls of all terminals, will help you. It shows carrier airlines as well as scheduled flights. On the schedule of charters, as well as the possible delay of the aircraft will announce an electronic scoreboard.
Transport connections
The third terminal was built in 1998, and itsinfrastructure is most thoughtful. It is from here that trains go to other cities in Denmark and even to Sweden via the Öresund Bridge. Under the terminal number 3 is located and the metro station. The M2 line takes you to Copenhagen in minutes. The airport will soon acquire another terminal - CPH Go. It will be completely “sharpened” to serve low-cost airlines - the so-called low-cost. If you don’t know which terminal you need, don’t worry - free shuttles supervise between all the airport buildings, often at fifteen minutes and around the clock.
Copenhagen, airport: how to get to the city
It is possible to overcome the distance of eight kilometersby taxi. Machines with a counter are waiting for their passengers at the arrival zones in all terminals of the airport. There are also bus stops. You need number 5A. On the scoreboard of the car should be indicated direction "City Center". You can buy a ticket from the driver. Buses run at intervals of 10-15 minutes, and the journey time will be half an hour.
Еще один вариант добраться до города – поезд.It will take you to Copenhagen Central Station in a quarter of an hour. Be careful: trains to the city depart from platform number 2 under the third terminal. The train option is good if you plan to travel around Denmark or Sweden right away. Copenhagen Station is located almost in the city center. To get closer to the hotel, use the subway. It operates around the clock, trains run at intervals of 5 minutes during the day and 15 at night.
