Tourist Attractions & Monuments Denmark

This chic good-looking beach is 700 m long and attracts crowds during the summer months. The resort was developed in the 1930s and entrusted to the care of Arne Jacobson. It is to him that we owe the Bellevue theatre, original for its retractable roof, a restaurant (named after the famous designer) and entirely signed by his hand as well as the... gas station. Small, simple and elegant with its oval, flat awning (at Kystenvejen no. 24).

Charlottenborg Palace, built from 1672 onwards, owes its name to Queen Mother Charlotte Amalie who bought it in 1699. After the death of its owner, it was assigned to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts as a library (still active). Beyond the inner courtyard, a second building, opening onto Nyhavn, houses the Kunsthal Charlottenborg, a centre for contemporary art. Temporary exhibitions are organized all year round, rather sharp in their approach!

Donated by the Nordea Foundation to the city of Copenhagen and inaugurated in August 2015, the bridge was designed by homegrown architect Olafur Eliasson. Five circular platforms of varying sizes, each dominated by its own mast, offer passersby and bicycles an alternative route. Illuminated at night, pivoting to let boats in and out, this work is a masterpiece that is part of the local urban development plan.
