The spring exhibitions

Every spring, the Copenhagen museums are filled with new, inspiring exhibitions. Check out the Park Museums for exhibitions about all things art and nature in beautiful park surroundings.

Copenhagen harbour

Time on the water

Spring is where people once again migrate to the waters, where you'll feel a vibe not found elsewhere in the city. Discover Copenhagen from the water as captain of your own solar-powered picnic boat or go for a swim in Copenhagen's harbour and canals.

The Deer Park

A short trip north from Copenhagen will take you to Dyrehaven, a wonderful woodland that seems far from city lights and traffic noise. Come spring, and the forest is almost neon green with all the new leaves.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

The beautiful museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, is located 40 kilometres north of Copenhagen just by the sea. It has gained a reputation as a museum in touch with the zeitgeist of the contemporary art world.

Copenhagen food markets

Spring is the time, where it's finally warm enough to dine outside in the city's many food markets. Good, sustainable, organic street food has been gaining ground the last couple of years in Copenhagen, so there's plenty of spots to choose from.

Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli is beautiful in spring, all covered in bright, colourful flowers and gleaming lights at night. This year, Tivoli invites you to enjoy illuminations of the Tivoli lake as well as parades with the Tivoli Guard.

See Copenhagen in it's spring coat

Copenhagen explodes with lush greenery in spring. The city rebirths itself for the summer months, and it's a spectacle not to be missed.

Explore beyond Copenhagen

Spring is the time to elope out into the beautiful surroundings of Copenhagen. With everything from stunning nature to world-famous castles - and even a different country - just a short train ride or drive away, the reasons to go beyond the city are many.

Bakken

When Bakken opens up on April 10th, it officially marks the start of spring. Bakken is the world's oldest amusement park nestled in the forests just a short train ride north of the city.
