DAC is closed on July 1
On July 1, this year’s Tour de France kicks off with an individual time trial in Copenhagen. DAC is extraordinarily closed this day as a consequence of the race. There is, however, still good reason to make your way past the BLOX building with flags and high spirits. The riders drive through BLOX on the 13.2 kilometer long route in Copenhagen, so it is possible to see the stars up close.
On July 2, the DAC will be open again, but access conditions will be limited.
The car park facilities under BLOX will be closed for access both days.
