Kongens Nytorv

  Kongens Nytorv sits in the heart of Copenhagen, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Nyhavn canal. Dating back to the 17th century, this expansive square is not only the largest in the city but has served as a vital hub for trade and transport throughout its history. One of its main features is the grand equestrian statue of King Frederick V, which stands at the center, surrounded by elegant buildings, including the Royal Danish Theater. In December, the square transforms into a festive site with holiday markets and lights, inviting visitors to soak in the seasonal spirit. Strolling around, you can explore nearby cafés or take in the architectural charm, making Kongens Nytorv a lively spot for both relaxation and cultural discovery.
