Ørestad Architecture Safari

BIG buildings, wild commons and gelato in between.

Sights & culture Food & drink Your route, stop by stop

A ride through Copenhagen's boldest architecture: Jean Nouvel's blue concert hall, the terraced Mountain Dwellings and Bjarke Ingels' 8 House, where the bike ramp spirals to the 10th floor. The wild expanse of Kalvebod Fælled opens up at the end - and Ismageriet's gelato fuels the way.
