DSB train from Copenhagen Central Train Station, direction towards Farum, 7 stops to Emdrup. 24DKK one way. 13mins walk to this beautiful design architecture church.

One of my bucketlist checked! One of the most beautiful church I've ever seen. The interior and the lighting is out of this world. It's surreal and looks like a painting. From the main road, it really stands out. If you want to take a photo of the interior, be sure to come early (before the opening time at 10.00).
