How to get to Konventum

Bus

There is a bus (line 353) from Helsingør Station that runs almost directly to Konventum every 30 minutes. The bus stops approximately 400 meters from the venue, so you will need to walk the remaining distance. You can use the Rejseplanen website to check the bus schedule and plan your journey.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is renowned for its rich experiences and stunning architecture. If you have some extra time before or after the conference, we highly recommend a visit to Copenhagen—just a 40-minute trip from Elsinore.
