Bellevue Beach

Copenhagen's Most Visited Beach

Strandvejen 338
Copenhagen 2930
Denmark

The most popular and most visited beach near Copenhagen, this is a perfect place for swimming and sunbathing. It is situated not far from Dyrehaven and you can see the forest if you swim out from the coast a bit. Take the scenic drive from the centre along Strandvejen to Klampenborg and admire the huge, expensive villas. Highlights of Danish Modernism are the Bellevue houses by Arne Jacobsen, overlooking the beach. In the summer Bellevue is like flypaper, as popular amongst families with children or the young, rich and beautiful, as among volleyball players and bodybuilders. On Øresund a rich sailing life is led all year round, on huge sailboats and elegant kayaks.

Bellevue Theatre

An Architectural Wonder Strandvejen 451
Copenhagen 2930
Denmark
+45 3963 6400 / +45 3963 4900

adm@bellevueteatret.dk Bellevue Teatret was the finishing touch to a local architectural plan for the area of Bellevue, made by world-famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in the 1930. The theatre was finished in 1936 and stands for modern, white Functionalism. From the outside, the building is impressive, but inside a typical, intimate Jacobsen design universe opens up. The round shapes, the mosaics, and the way the balcony wraps around the theatre just have to be experienced. The repertoire consists mainly of family entertainment and shows of the lighter kind. People flock in from the city to feel the spirit and to see the phenomenal view over the beautiful Øresund. The opening hours of the ticket office vary.

The museum can be found in a big, old villa, beautifully located in the middle of a park to which there is public access. The terrace and the park are both ideal places for moments of contemplation.

There is also a fixed collection of Danish art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The museum has a café. To get there, get the S-train to Klampenborg or Lyngby, then bus 110.
