Use Journey planner to find an appropriate connection. I used it to find the above.

Regarding tickets: buy a 10-trip multiride ticket ("klippekort") for 2 zones (blue) at a station or a 7 Eleven or already at the airport. Going from central Copenhagen to the venue you need to stamp it once before entering the train, or just after entering the bus. Going to/from the airport you need to stamp it twice (it's 3 zones). The same tickets are valid in both Metro, busses and trains, and as long as you stay within the time limit you can change between these.

Friday May 31, 18-23 hrs. Social Playing.
Place: Haraldsgade 69, Copenhagen. See map.

Join Mahjong Denmark's Thursday session: If you feel like coming early to Copenhagen, be advised that we play mahjong every Thursday at Haraldsgade 69, Copenhagen. There will be people from 17hrs onwards.
