Refshålen makes Copenhagen even more special. An industrial area that really has it all on a warm summer’s day!
Looking for Copenhagen’s urban and alternative side? Then this is the neighbourhood for you. Refshaleøen is a former industrial area, situated on an island in Copenhagen harbour. For many years, this island was one of the world’s largest shipyards. It has since been transformed into a cultural hub where sustainability is a top priority. Reffen, a large street food venue, is an absolute must on a lovely summer’s evening. Visit an exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary, have breakfast at Lille Bakery, or go for a truly unique experience: climb, walk or ski on CopenHill, a year-round ski slope on top of a waste-to-energy plant!
