Rådhuspladsen

The historical building is quite well preserved. We wanted to go up the tower, but it was closed due to bad weather. The library was very beautiful and is still in use. There were couples waiting to get married.

Probably the most centralized square in copenhagen city. Everything you need is available here. Malls, Restaurants, Shops, Cafeteria, Fast-food, Hotels, Tivoli etc. A great place for photography too. Find the famous Anderson Statute & the "MUST TRY Street food (hotdogs).

Lovely square has a metro and city hall. Vibrant environment around the plaza with Tivoli Gardens nearby too. Pubs and restaurants and a hotel. Hans Christian Anderson looking out to the gardens. An old city corner stone marks where the fortifications used to be.

This place is the open area between the city hall and harbor. What i felt is that the whole area is toed together. The wide open area is very busy with different music , event etc. this makes the area lively and lovable. And let's not forget the harbor, where you can catch a ferry for a fjord ride that's simply unforgettable – especially when capped off with a spectacular sunset!

Majestic building. Wonderful architecture, surrounded by fountains and statues. Hans Christian Anderson statue around the side. Was disappointed that we couldn't go inside. Very near main shopping area.

Nice place and nice city. Very recommended for stay at the weekend in spring or autumn time. 👍 Book a free guide tour to get the best information abou city from domestic guy.😉

New Year’s Eve firework extravaganza! Careful, it is chaotic but fun. Never seen it been a part of anything like it in my life before.

It's the Coppenhaguen City Hall Square. Biggest one in city. Dominated by City Hall, fountain, sculpture of trumpet and famous clock that depicts woman riding o bycicle in sunny days and a woman with an umbrella for rainy days. Lots of shops and eateries.

Rådhuspladsen is the big square located in front of the Copenhagen City Hall building. Hard to miss with the huge building to one side and surrounded by a hotel, retail shops, coffee shops and restaurants. In 2018, it's getting a bit of reconstruction and redesign with a bus hub and a metro station. This is one of the big hangouts for celebrations. On a warm September morning, it was quite lovely. The Sun hit the Rådhus beautifully.

Rådhuspladsen is a massive square and is dominated by the Copenhagen City Hall. The square is located between Strøget and the Tivoli Gardens and is extremely popular. It is also a venue for events and demonstrations. It is hard to miss when in Copenhagen. I did enjoy stopping to take some photos in the square, although I don't think of it as a destination unto itself. You will pass through it to get to the pedestrian shopping area, which is highly recommended. Also, this is the meeting place for the Free Walking Tour of Copenhagen. So, I was able to have a simple lunch at the square and people watched until the tour guide arrived. There's always some kind of music in the square, and there are benches for sitting and watching or feeding the birds. It's a good place for photography, and feels very safe even for women traveling alone. :)

Nothing more than a government building set in the town Square, Rådhuspladsen is impossible to miss due to a location halfway between Tivoli and The Stroget, the edifice looming over a crowd of tourists and locals but unfortunately surrounded by dissimilar buildings that make the whole area seem sort of 'forced.'

My hotel was only a few feet away from this place. I'd walk here everyday. It's across the street from Tivoli. So, if you're already going there, make a quick stop here to take photos and people watch. Don't expect much. It's free! This is the big empty square of City Hall. This serves as a meeting place for most people so from before noon to evening, it is packed with people. There's a fountain. On the side, you'll find a statue of Hans Christian Andersen. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.

Rådhuspladsen is the large public square which sits in the shadows of the stately and historic Copenhagen City Hall. The square is a hub of the many miles of beautifully historic pedestrian streets, and a gathering place for folks from all corners of the globe, merchant kiosks, street performers and public message boards. As in so much of this magical city, English is not only understood widely, but spoken better than what you would hear in the public plazas of most major American cities. A quaint cobblestone pedestrian mecca, the hustle and bustle of Rådhuspladsen rivals that of Times Square; sensory overload prevails. Unlike Times Square, the general warmth, civility and friendliness is genuine and pervasive. As I stood reading an area map posted on a public bulletin board I was approached by a half dozen leather clad Romani ("Gypsy") bikers. In a fantastic mood, and aware of the fact that we were in a very public place with many police, I paid little attention to the circle which gradually narrowed around me. Finally, the leader of the group spoke, offering me "my own Little Mermaid" (a veiled local reference to the famous statue in Copenhagen Harbor, applied to a prostitute). My response was, "I'm from New York, my friend, and know how to find what I'm looking for." The leader took two steps backward, while repeating "New York" and pointing to me. Immediately, the leader and his group were asking me to describe New York to them, and were genuinely fascinated by the conversation. . . Where else but in Copenhagen? ("Google Translate:") Rådhuspladsen er den store offentlige torv, som sidder i skyggen af den statelige og historiske Københavns Rådhus. Pladsen er et knudepunkt for de mange miles af smukt historiske gågader, og et samlingssted for folk fra alle hjørner af kloden, forhandler kiosker, gøglere og offentlige opslagstavler. Som i så meget af denne magiske by, er engelsk ikke kun forstås bredt, men talt bedre end hvad du ville høre på de offentlige pladser i de fleste større amerikanske byer. En folkloristisk brosten fodgænger Mekka, trængsel og travlhed i Rådhuspladsen kan måle sig med Times Square, sanseoplevelser hersker. I modsætning til Times Square, er den generelle varme, høflighed og venlighed ægte og omsiggribende. Da jeg stod at læse et kort over området lagt ud på en offentlig opslagstavle jeg blev kontaktet af en halv snes læder clad Romani ("Gypsy") rockere. I en fantastisk stemning, og klar over, at vi var i et meget offentligt sted med mange politi, betalte jeg lidt opmærksomhed til cirklen, som gradvist indsnævret omkring mig. Endelig leder af gruppen talte, tilbyder mig "min egen lille Havfrue" (en tilsløret lokal reference til den berømte statue i Københavns Havn, anvendt på en prostitueret). Mit svar var: "Jeg er fra New York, min ven, og vide, hvordan man finde, hvad jeg leder efter." Lederen tog to skridt tilbage, samtidig med at gentage "New York" og peger på mig. Umiddelbart blev lederen og hans gruppe beder mig om at beskrive New York til dem, og var virkelig fascineret af samtalen. . . Hvor ellers men i København?

A beautiful, historic square that is a busy, busy central hub of life in the centre of Kobnhavn. To me, more charming from a distance, to admire the full architecture.

Dear Peter and Jane As you know I'm now visiting Copenhagen, as the Danes themselves tend to call 'Wonderful Copenhagen' but what I see so far is a lot of mess and noise from all the building and renovation downtown. It seems to be one big construction site with dust and bricks laying everywhere around . Today I visited the City Hall, which I was looking very much forward to see. The building itself was really nice but holy moly, the square was chaotic, weird and ugly and most of all made me feel like Im in the midlle of a warzone - not so wonderful. Who knows, maybe when all the construction work is done, it's gonna be charming but as it seems now, I for sure didn't feel like spending my time here at all. Next stop; The Little Mermaid. I hope she'll be there saluting me. See you soon Love Mike Sådan kan jeg forestille mig en beskrivelse af byen på et postkort sendt fra København. Vi lever i et stort byggerod med metroring osv., hvor bl.a. Rådhuspladsen, Kongens Nytorv og Nørreport er et byggehelvede uden lige. Men byggerod eller ej, så synes jeg som fastboende, at Rådhuspladsen altid synes kaotisk og rodet. Mange af de aktiviteter der foregår her virker tilfældige og forstyrrende og har den effekt på mig, at jeg altid skynder mig videre med tasken tæt ind til kroppen gennem pladsen. Jeg synes bestemt ikke vores rådhus er et, vi kan være stolte af.

I don't know why this square has such terrible reviews, but it's not a bad square. It's pretty big and full of construction right now, but it's right in the city center and there are a lot of shops around it. Good meeting place for sure, although specify where you're going to meet otherwise you might not find your other party. I would come just to check it out, since it's in the city center!
