The City Hall Square | Kongens Nytorv | Gammeltorv | Gråbrødretorv

Gråbrødretorv


Gråbrødretorv's history goes back to 1238 when the Fransiscan (Grådbrødre) monastery was established here. Some 300 years later the monastery closed and the buildings were torn down.

In 1968 the Gråbrødre square became part of the pedestrian area in the inner city, thus called for a restoration for this small very charming square. In the 1980s it was a popular meeting place, the function which is today overtaken by Nyhavn.

Large plane trees, a sculpture by Søren Georg Jensen, and a feeling of tranquility - right in the middle of the city - that is Gråbrødretorv today. And a good chance for a great meal too: the square hosts several trendy restaurants. Especially in the summertime, when coffee houses and restaurants move outdoors, and the jazz festival finds its way here, the square is a real treat.
And in the neighbouring streets you're in for some good trendy shopping.
