Frederiksberg

An embodiment of typical Danish sophistication, the municipality of Frederiksberg nestles on the eastern edge of Denmark. Well known for its lush boulevards, its cobblestone alleys and it's boutique stores, Frederiksberg is a popular visit for those looking to explore Denmark’s urban charm.

In leafy, relaxed Frederiksberg, locals relax in manicured public gardens. The cobbled streets, with its rustic old school charm, appear to jump right out of postcards, with the many cafes lining its streets adding to the beauty of the place. 

Any trip to Frederiksberg will be incomplete without a visit to the Frederiksberg Gardens, the city’s biggest and most beautiful public gardens. The luxuriant green lawns here are ideally suited for picnics and romantic strolls. The little clear lake at the heart of the gardens can be used for boating as well. For a truly unique experience, head over to the Frederiksberg cisterns; once an underground water reservoir, the cistern now hosts art exhibitions on a regular basis.

If you’re visiting with your family, do not miss out on a visit to the Copenhagen Zoo to explore the famous Elephant House there. Add to your experience with a lunch at Central Hotel og Cafe, the world’s smallest restaurant and coffee shop. Finally, spend a day exploring the many boutiques and stores around the city, all of which are known for their high-end wares.

Due to its eastward location, Frederiksberg remains colder than the other parts of the country. The summers here are pleasant and cloudy, while the winter months, between November and March, are generally very cold and windy.
