Top Booking Tips
Let me give you a top tip:
We’ve partnered up with Booking.com to help you find the perfect accommodation for your budget and travel needs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be unsure what to consider before making a booking, so we've made a checklist to help you find the stay that's right for you.
1. Find out about a property’s health and safety measures
Many properties' pages on Booking.com now provide more in-depth details on the specific health and safety measures they have in place. This includes information about physical distancing measures and the type of cleaning regime the property has implemented. These details are presented in a clear and consistent format so you can easily compare them. You can also check each property's overall cleanliness review score, based on previous guests' experiences.
2. Check the accommodation's cancellation policy
Many properties offer refundable booking options. Click on the respective policy on the property page to find out more – it’s worth reading the small print. This is also where Booking.com provides details about the risk you may be taking in booking non-refundable or partially refundable reservations.
3. Choose the type of accommodation you're most comfortable with
Whether you’re happy staying in a hostel, keen to book a hotel room or looking for a whole home, Booking.com has the right filters in place to facilitate your search. Also check our budget guide below to see which types of accommodation are available in each host city.
4. Consider check-in policies and additional costs
Before booking, be sure to read up on the accommodation’s policy – simply scroll to the ‘House rules’ at the bottom of the individual accommodation descriptions on Booking.com’s website.
- Adding an extra guest to your accommodation may result in additional costs. Be sure to know the final number of people staying before you confirm your booking.
- For smooth travels, be aware of your accommodation’s check-in and check-out policies. You may also be eligible for a late check-out if you’re a member of Booking.com’s loyalty programme, Genius.
- Room prices may vary depending on city/VAT taxes. Extra bedding, towels, accommodation activities and facilities may also occur additional costs.
- Double check if your accommodation properties accept credit cards, require a deposit or an upfront payment.

Location guide
Every area of Copenhagen will hold its own appeal for travelling football fans, so we’ve broken down the city into five main options of where to stay and why, according to Booking.com travellers.
For those who like the convenience of being close to the football, stay in the Østerbro neighbourhood, a leisurely 15-minute walk from Parken Stadium. Generally known as an affluent and quiet neighbourhood, there are plenty of green areas to soak up some sun and relax before heading to the game. Booking.com travellers have also endorsed this family-orientated residential area for its sightseeing, architecture and culture. Booking.com has more than 60 properties located in Østerbro – book now to secure your stay close to all the UEFA EURO 2020 action.
Copenhagen is a magical city full of multicoloured buildings, canals and speciality coffee. For those wanting to experience its inherent charm, stay in the neighbourhood of Vesterbro. Here you’ll find quirky shops, modern art galleries and the Det Ny Teater, a local theatre that has been open since 1908. Booking.com has over 80 properties located in Vesterbro – book now to lap up the city sights in between the football.
The journey from Vesterbro to Parken Stadium takes approximately 25 minutes by public transport.
If you’re planning to party before or after the game, stay in the Nørrebro neighbourhood. Booking.com travellers have endorsed this young and creative area as the best place in Copenhagen for a night out. Should restrictions allow, spend your evenings dining at one of its many multicultural restaurants followed by a drink at a bar tucked away in a pretty side street. And the best news: Nørrebro is also located very close to the stadium, so your matchday journey will be a breeze.
Depending on where exactly you’re staying in Nørrebro, the journey to the stadium will only take a few minutes on foot.
