Index Award 2021 FAQ
What to know and do while you're in Copenhagen!

What's your Covid-19 policy?
We recommend that everyone attending The Index Award must present a negative Covid-19 test (no more than 72 hours old) or proof of vaccination (coronapas). Testing is free in Denmark and there are several rapid antigen and PCR testing locations.

Where can I get tested?
If you're flying in, it's possible to get an antigen test or PCR test at Copenhagen Airport. See how the country you're travelling from is categorised here and what's needed in regards to testing here.

The testing centre located the nearest to the venue (VOLUME, Enghavevej 80, 2450 København) is:

City Hall Square

  • Rådshudpladsen 14, 1550 København V
  • Walk-in
  • 35 min. walk

Where can I stay?
If you're attending the Award, we recommend you stay at Coco Hotel, a sustainable boutique hotel located in the heart of Copenhagen. It's only a 25-minute walk from VOLUME CPH and you can use the discount code INDEX2021 to get 10% off your stay.

How do I get around Copenhagen?
Copenhagen is truly a city of cyclists, but if you're not up for renting a bike, public transportation is very reliable too. From the airport, you can either take the Copenhagen Metro to Nørreport st. or the S-tog to Copenhagen Central Station.

To get to VOLUME, we recommend taking the Copenhagen Metro (line M3) to Enghave Plads (7 min. walk) or taking the S-tog (line B, Bx, C or H) to Carlsberg Station (6 min. walk). There are also cab services such as TAXA 4x35 or Viggo (similar to Uber/Lyft).

How's the Danish weather?
In short – unreliable! In the fall, the temperatures are between 10-15 degrees Celcius. For any outdoor excursions, bring some warm clothes. If you prefer being more safe than sorry, pack an umbrella or raincoat as well.

What should I go see in Copenhagen?
We recommend checking out VisitCopenhagen to find a go-to guide on all the tourist offerings the Danish capital has to offer. But we also have some personal recommendations, that might be worth exploring as well:

  • Landbohøjskolens have – Small garden in Frederiksberg, where you can relax, go for a walk and get a view of the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Science.
  • The David Collection – Fantastic collection of Islamic, miniature portraits.
  • Copenhill – BIG's man-made hill that functions both as an artificial skiing location and ultra-modern energy plant.
  • Ørstedsparken – Good opportunity for a little stroll around a nice park.
  • Botanical gardens – Yes, we really love gardens. This one holds the largest collection of living plants in Denmark and is located in the city centre.
  • Rosenborg slot – A castle close to Nørreport and the home of the Royal Danish Collection.
  • Art museums – If you're looking to get outside the city and enjoy some fresh air and modern art, check out ARKEN or Louisiana.

Where should I eat?

Here are some of our own favourite spots in the city – ranging from morning croissants to candlelit dinners.

  • Osteria 16 – Italian food and a fixed menu of eight dishes for only 350 DKK.
  • Baka d'Busk – Vegetarian food in the Northern part of Copenhagen.
  • Pho Hanoi – Vietnamese food in the city centre.
  • Democratic Coffee – The best croissant in the city, located inside Copenhagen Main Library!
  • Rufino Osteria - Locally sourced Italian dishes in beautiful Christianshavn.
  • FRAMA – Café and design store all-in-one!
  • La Banchina – Breakfast, lunch or dinner right by the water.
  • Restaurant Klubben – if you're up for some traditional Danish dishes and atmosphere, then go visit this one.
