Rådhuspladsen
Copenhagen City Hall Square is the largest square
in Copenhagen. It holds 50.000 people or more.
When something important happens like the World
Cup in football, this is were you'll find a big
screen and the 50.000 Copenhageners watching it.
The foundation stone was laid down by crown prince
Frederik on July 28, 1894. The same day as the
crown prince celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary.
The square was inaugerated in 1905. The architect
Martin Nyrop had many followers and his version
of the National Romantic style was copied by other
European and Scandinavian architects.

On one hand side of the square you'll find the
Tivoli and on the other side the famous pedestrian
street Strøget begins.
The square was partly redesigned when Copenhagen
was appointed the Cultural Capital of Europe in
1996.
