The present Copenhagen City Hall is situated on Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square) in central Copenhagen. It was designed in 1892 by architect Martin Nyrop and the design for the building was inspired by the city hall of Siena, Italy.

The appearance of the city hall is dominated by its impressive front, the golden statue of Absalon just above the balcony and the tall, slim tower with a clock. The city hall tower at 105.6 meters one of the tallest buildings in Copenhagen. In addition to the clock tower clock, the city hall houses Jens Olsen’s World Clock.

Hidden behind the imposing façade of Copenhagen’s central city hall, the pretty little garden is a perfect spot for time out from a busy day’s shopping. Accessed from the right-hand side of the building along H.C Andersen’s Boulevard, it’s a little-known and picturesque oasis of calm in the midst of Copenhagen’s busiest and most touristy areas.

Ideal for recharging your batteries while escaping the hustle and bustle.Quote_transparent
