Parking
On match day, Parken's parking facilities are unfortunately very limited, and therefore we can only offer parking spaces to a few media representatives, who will be notified directly with a parking permit.
All entrances to the parking area must be from Østerbrogade / Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads - not from Øster Allé. If there are co-passengers in the car who cannot show valid access to the match, they cannot drive into the parking area.

Public transportation
For public transportation we suggest that you use the travel planner website Rejseplanen, which is available in English, Google Maps, or the Citymapper app. You can also cycle to the stadium from the city centre within 10 minutes.
The nearest Metro stations are Trianglen (south of Parken) and Vibenshus Runddel (north of Parken), both within 5-10 minutes walking distance.
The nearest S-train stations are Østerport, Nordhavn and Svanemøllen.
Information in English about tickets for public transport can be found here at publictransport.dk.
Accreditation types
All accreditations must be worn visibly during your entire stay in Parken, so that stewards can easily ensure that you have access to the respective areas.
A blue accreditation (written press) gives access to the Media Centre and to the press seats on the Upper A stand. After the match it also gives access to the Mixed Zone by the players' tunnel.
A green accreditation (photographers) gives access to the Media Centre, to the press stands on the Upper A stand and to the pitch area where photographers are allowed to stay.
Media centre
The media centre is located on the 1st floor of the H tower (the tower between the A and D stands) and is open from 19:00 as well as during the match and up to two and a half hours after the match.
We offer a sandwich as well as coffee and tea and soft drinks.
Please also note that glass bottles may not be taken into the grandstand or pitchside area, and that beer and spirits are not permitted in the Media Centre or in the press areas.
The room will not be locked, but our press hosts will be present during the match. We offer a sandwich as well as coffee, tea and water before the match, during half time and after the match.
Press seats
The press seats are located in the middle sections of the Upper A stand, and access is via the A11 stairwell (closest to the Media Centre).
UEFA signs at the door will show the way, and a steward can also help you find the right direction. Unfortunately, Parken Stadium does not have lifts to the Upper A stand.
A seating plan for the press box will be available on Matchday.
The wifi is called "Press" - the password can be obtained from our press hosts.
Photographers' positions
During the match, photographers may only stay behind the two goals and approx. 5 meters around the corners to the C Stand.
Before the match, photographers can set up in front of the A stand to take a team photo, but only after the players have left the pitch after warming up.
Cabled internet behind the goals
There is free high-speed wifi in the stadium, but also cabled internet behind the two goals.
On each side of the two goals, approximately outside the edge of the penalty area, there is a box with ordinary internet plugs. There are seven or 15 outlets on each box, and the only thing you have to bring is an internet cable for the box for your photo spot.
Mixed zone
After the match, the mixed zone will take place at ground level at the gate area next to press entrance A12 and afterwards there will be press conferences in the Media Centre.
Press vests
Press vests should be handed back to the press hosts or in A12 as soon as the match has finished and before going to the Media Centre or mixed zone.
