This neighbourhood, with its impressive history, is particularly appealing to those who enjoy culture and upmarket shops.
If you’re a lover of culture and architecture, you’ve come to the right place. Slotsholmen is the political centre of Denmark, and in the Øster Kvarter district, the city’s wealth is reflected in the imposing buildings and colourful canals. There are plenty of events taking place around the parliament building, some with a political theme and others with a more cultural slant. Here you’ll find a variety of unique museums and other cultural institutions. The focal point of the Øster Kvarter is the large square, home to upmarket department stores, hotels and the Royal Theatre. Here you’ll also find the iconic and popular tourist destination of Nyhavn, with its colourful houses lining the water.
