 An Architectural Wonder |
Strandvejen 451 Copenhagen 2930 Denmark +45 3963 6400 / +45 3963 4900 http://www.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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Copenhagen's Former Cathedral |
Nørregade 8 Copenhagen 1165 Denmark +45 33 37 65 40 http://www.koebenhavnsdomkirke.dk |
Vor Frue Kirke (the Church of Our Lady) serves as Copenhagen's cathedral, and was completely rebuilt thrice (in 1316, 1738 and 1829), after being destroyed by fires. Architect C.F. Hansen's neo-classical facade contrasts greatly with the ornate interior, which features statues of Jesus and the Twelve Apostles by the world-famous Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen. The museum in the crypt is fascinating and displays models and remains of the previous buildings. The Christmas concert by the Danish Boys Choir is a highlight of Denmark's festive season.

The Copenhagen Opera House is a gift to the Dainish state by shipping magnate Sir Mærsk McKinney Møller. It was formally inaugurated on January 15, 2005. Located on the waterfront of Holmen, the former Royal Naval Dockyard, it is set to become one of the largest cultural centres in Northern Europe. The main architectural attraction of the Opera House is the floating roof, which covers four stories. It also has galleries, a restaurant and accommodation for travellers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Old Copenhagen Fortress |
Nær Langelinies Copenhagen 2100 Denmark |
Kastellet is a star-shaped fortress near Langelinie. Its bastions and moats are almost unchanged from when they were a part of the original structure built in 1660 as per recovered drawings of Heinrich Rüse, a Dutch fortress expert. Kastellet was built as a result of the wars against Sweden at the time. The forts appear today almost as they did towards the end of the nineteenth century, but without the outer parts. This has been made possible by thorough restoration work financed by the company A.P. Møller. It is now possible to walk on all of the bastions. Entrance is through the recently restored Kongeporten (the King's Gate), dating from 1663. Inside are barracks where you find the state prison and Kastelskirken church. Exit is through Norgesporten (the Norwegian Gate). For many reasons, Kastellet has become a popular place to visit. It is wonderful to walk around the bastions in all seasons. Since most old trees have been removed, there is an excellent view over Langelinie, the harbour and the centre of the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Official Museum of Pictorial Arts |
Sølvgade 48-50 Copenhagen 1307 Denmark +45 33 74 8494 http://www.smk.dk/ |
This grandiose building was erected in 1889-96 after plans drawn by Wilhelm Dahlerup and G.E.W. Møller, in Italian Renaissance style. In autumn 1998, an extension was opened that gave the State's Art Museum the facelift it needed. The architects were Anna Maria Indrio and Mads Møller. This deeply original new building was constructed in the park behind the original building and is connected to it by a glass-covered walkway, 'the street of sculptures'. The 'street' stretches along the full length of the museum, and within it concerts and dance performances are held. The museum contains collections of art dating from the twelfth century. In the older European and Danish collections feast your eyes on paintings by Titian, Tintoretto, Breugel, Rubens, Frans Hals and Rembrandt can be . The modern collection comprises work by Picasso, Braque, Leger, Modigliani and Emil Nolde. Also Danish painters are richly represented, and you can enjoy the styles of Oluf Høst, Edward Weihe, Olaf Rude and Harald Giersing.Statens Museum for Kunst also contains a special museum for children and the Royal Danish Copperplate Collection.

The Round Tower |
Købmagergade 52 A Copenhagen 1150 Denmark +45 3373 0373 http://www.rundetaarn.dk |
Built in 1637-1642, the Round Tower was originally an observatory connected to Trinitatis Church, but is now one of Copenhagen's best-known landmarks. King Christian IV's monogram is displayed on the building, as is a beautiful lattice designed by Kasper Fincke. Tower visitors can see a mysterious inscription by Christian IV, a kind of pictorial puzzle, that says 'control, learning and justice, the Lord in the heart of King Christian IV'. The top of the tower offers fantastic views over the city's rooftops. Admission is DKK20 for adults and DKK5 for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Founded in 1843, Tivoli is located where the once-fortified city's ramparts used to be, and the park's on-site lake is a remnant of the city's moat. Children of all ages visit year 'round for the old-world carnival-style atmosphere and the exciting attractions. Test your mettle on a number of extreme thrill rides (including "The Demon" and "The Spinning Top"). Tamer rides and activities are in abundance as well. Young ones will not want to miss the grand carousel or the aquarium. Older folk tend to congregate in and around Tivoli's nearly 40 bars and restaurants, some of which are tres gourmet and may date as far back as 1843. World-class live entertainment is always provided, and the festivities get kicked into high gear during the Christmas season. See website for complete list of attractions, video tours, seasonal hours, event calendar and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Copenhagen's Largest and Most Beautiful Planetarium |
Gammel Kongevej 10 Copenhagen 1610 Denmark +45 3312 1224 http://www.tycho.dk |
In no time at all this modern building has become the new landmark of Copenhagen, and has contributed to the beauty of the city. It is situated just by Sankt Jørgens Sø. The building was erected during the late 1980s, financed by private means. Most importantly the building contains the huge omnimax cinema where films about nature and the universe are shown with computer-graphic and optical techniques, giving the spectator the feeling that he is actually walking by the river in the Grand Canyon or flying in the galaxies. At the Planetarium you can also learn about the development of astronomy from the Middle Ages, when Tycho Brahe lived (1546-1601), until today. The side of the Planetarium that turns towards the lake has become a popular place for the people of Copenhagen to gather during the summer. Inside the Planetarium there is an excellent restaurant called Cassiopeia. Review © 2007, Wcities |
