Cultural experiences and attractions in Copenhagen

The area of Kongens Nytorv hosts several of Copenhagen’s major attractions, including the Old Stage of The Royal Danish Theatre, where you can experience some of the greatest national and international performances every night. Are you looking for an authentic cultural experience, then go for a classical ballet, a theatre performance or an opera and kickstart your evening with a delicious meal at one of the many chic restaurants in the neighbourhood.

At Kongens Nytorv, you will also find the charming waterside area of Nyhavn, presenting lots of colourful and historic buildings and a range of cosy cafés and restaurants at the harbour front. During the summer, tourists and locals go to the area to enjoy the sunny weather, cold refreshments and good meal from one of the neighbouring restaurants while listening to the lively street music. From Nyhavn, you can go for a nice (and budget-friendly) canal tour which will take you to some of the greatest attractions in Copenhagen, including the architect-designed Royal Danish Playhouse (Skuespilhuset) and the Opera House.

Beautiful Copenhagen

Many people associate a visit to Copenhagen with a visit to the Tivoli Gardens, which is located within walking distance to all of our hotels in Copenhagen. Wake up after a good night’s sleep in one of our cool and modern hotel rooms in Copenhagen, enjoy our delicious breakfast buffet and bring your children, your loved one or friends to the historic amusement park. On the way, you can pass the world-famous shopping street ‘Strøget’ and the City Hall Square. A visit to the Tivoli Gardens implies a day full of magic regardless of the season. In the spring and summer, the gardens stand in full bloom, ideal for a romantic stroll or a fun family day. If you are travelling alone, you will find many good spots in the Tivoli Gardens for relaxing and catching up on the news in peace and quiet. You can also plan a trip with your colleagues, partners or clients to the gardens and let the creative ideas flow in the magic surroundings.
