A holiday in Frederiksberg is ideal for any urbane bon viveur looking to explore one of Copenhagen’s most charming and unique neighbourhoods. Frederiksberg is in the city centre, bordering Vesterbro, with superb shopping, cafés and entertainment. The recreation areas of Søndermarken, the lakes and Frederiksberg Have are also nearby.
A fantastic holiday can be had in Frederiksberg regardless of season or budget. The multitude of pavement cafés and beautiful parks are there in the summer, whilst winter is the perfect time for Christmas shopping in the beautifully-decorated streets, not to mention skating and tobogganing in Frederiksberg Have. There are also world-class concerts and exhibitions at the Forum, the urbane caves at Cisternerne, plus wit and humour at the Storm P. Museum.
Families can also enjoy a trip to Frederiksberg. Children will love the relaxed atmosphere, the sprawling zoo, the ice cream stalls and well-equipped playgrounds, several of which have paddling pools for hot days. If the weather drives you indoors, there’s the Frederiksberg Svømmehal and new, subterranean Water & Wellness Frederiksberg for wellness, a splash and a swim.
Frederiksberg is actually a city in its own right, but the elegant residential areas and lakes were swallowed up by Copenhagen years ago, creating an upmarket, lively neighbourhood in the city centre. Frederiksberg also boasts being the district with the smallest area but densest population.
If you’re looking for some retail therapy, a weekend break in Frederiksberg is ideal. Enjoy the bustling Gl. Kongevej with its exclusive clothing and gourmet shops, take a stroll down the theatre district of Frederiksberg Allé, or breathe in the French charm of Værnedamsvej, known as Copenhagen’s ‘little Paris’. Round off your visit with dinner at the popular restaurant Les Trois Cochons or the best éclair in town at Det Franske Conditori.
A big city holiday in Frederiksberg – a bustling and pleasantly green district of Copenhagen – offers excitement all year round which is why it attracts so many lovers of the finer things in life.
