The Centre is located in Copenhagen, Denmark at Hvidovre Hospital in separate buildings just north of Center 3. Park car it in the basement or - usually easier - west of the hospital (P2). Alternatively, taxis can bring you directly to the DRCMR (click for route). Taxi from Copenhagen Airport to Hvidovre Hospital takes approximately 15 minutes (mostly highway).
From the basement: Take stairs one level up to "ambulatorieetagen", and follow signs towards the MR-department ("MR-afdelingen"). They lead to the reception. Pass that to reach the research section, which is one floor up from the end of the corridor.
From the parking west of the hospital (P2): Walk parallel to the motorway up the hill, where you will find Pavillion 7. Ring the bell near the white nitrogen tank.
Getting to the hospital by bus: Line 1A goes every few minutes from Copenhagen main station to the main entrance of Hvidovre Hospital in 25 minutes. For details please consult the hospital transport guide.
The clinical section and reception is located in the ground floor ("ambulatorieetagen")
