Århus Airport/Tirstrup offers direct flights to and from Copenhagen,
Oslo, Stockholm, London, Gothenburg, and Brussels. The airport bus,
with service to and from the central train station, departs from the
airport directly after each arriving flight; it leaves for the airport
from the train station 70 minutes before all departing domestic
flights (i.e., to Copenhagen) and 80 minutes before all departing
direct international flights. Århus is served by a train station with
an hourly comfortable service to and from Copenhagen (4 1/2 hours) and
several connections daily with Sweden, Germany, and the rest of
Europe. There is also a harbour conveniently located in the centre of
the city, with ferry and hydrofoil connections with Copenhagen via
Kalundborg. A motorway links Århus directly with Germany and thereby
most major European cities. Århus is a 4 to 5 hour drive from Hamburg.
Within the city, the municipal bus system is a convenient and reliable
means of transportation. Each ECOOP'95 participant will be issued with
a bus card covering local bus transportation.
