This 16th century town square sports impressive brick architecture, colorful houses dating from the 1600-1800's, and a peaceful courtyard. Known for its restaurants and nightlife, it is abundant with outdoor terraces. We hear it is very popular in the summertime and even though we were here on a weekday in the winter, the restaurants and bars were packed. Even with it raining there were couples strolling down the cobbled streets via lamplight or packing into the delicious smelling restaurants. It was definitely fun to see in the winter but we would love to return to enjoy it in the summertime.

This building is kind of a strange structure to write a review about. Why? Because it's not a…read morelocation where you can actually go into. This structure is made up of apartments. Yes, you can take a virtual tour. But, people live here. So, though it is a very interesting structure, and has a very unique architectural design, all you can do is look at it from the outside. This being said, it is one of the most recognizable buildings in all of Malmö. You can pretty much see it from all areas of the city. This structure is very close to the shoreline in Malmö. So, it's a nice place to walk to either when you're coming from the ocean or going to the Malmö shoreline. Overall, it is what it is, an interesting structure, and one of the defining factors of Malmö, Sweden.

I guess everyone will see this public square in a different light. It's located in the heart of a…read morebustling city in front of City Hall. It's a favorite meeting point for walking tours. People pass through it every day to go shopping since it connects to Strøget. The same can be said for those passing through to Tivoli Gardens. It's in the middle of it all. It doesn't look like much when you first walk up to it. The Dragon Fountain in the middle could be grander in my opinion. It wasn't originally intended to be here, so maybe that's why it looks a little out of place. Perhaps the city could expand the basin and add more water spraying features to make it more appealing. I can see why it's been moved and updated over the years. There may not be much to see in the actual square, but make sure that you walk around it. You'll spot things like the Hans Christian Andersen and the Lur Blowers sculptures. You'll also see the dragons that were once a part of the fountain hanging out along the wall in front of City Hall. Another cool thing to see are the "Weather Girls" (Vejrpigerne) on top of the Richshuset building under the big neon Thai Airways sign. It's too difficult to miss the temperature gauge that runs up the corner of that building to the top where you'll see one of the gold weather girls. The girl we saw was riding a bike. On rainy days, she's holding an umbrella and walking her dog. It's just a fun & unique way of forecasting the weather. It's what you see around Rådhuspladsen that makes it so special. I mean, it's not like you're making a special trip to see it this square. You're going to pass through it at some point. Enjoy it for what it is.

Our tour guide suggested that we have a look inside while we wait. It ended up being a nice cultural experience. It's open to the public in the daytime. On a Saturday morning, we saw a bride in her wedding gown having photos taken for her big day in the grand public courtyard. The sunlight was shining through the vaulted skylight ceiling above us. It's a warm & welcoming place for all to see. There are danish flags surrounding the hall as well as one from Greenland and another from the Faroe Islands. You'll see the other flags directly across from the entrance. There are a lot of artful details such as patterns & colors in the marble flooring and the mosaics of Nordic birds lining the inside of the arches. The soapstone lion basins provide relaxing sounds of flowing water while walking through the hall. There's a lot of cool things to see such as the clock tower and Jen Olsen's World Clock if you have more time. It's a 300 step climb up to the tower where you can get views of the city and Tivoli Gardens. It may be worth the small fee to book the tower as well as a tour of City Hall. We didn't get to see it all. There are a few things that I saw worth mentioning. The stained glass Coat of Arms, the Art Nouveau stone mural above the city council's chamber door, and the gold gilded statue of Bishop Absalon (the Founder of Copenhagen) tell you right away that this building was built with the Nordic culture and its people in mind. The phrase "Saa er by som borger" is there for all to see. It's what Martin Nyrop envisioned it to be in his architecture. It's totally worth a visit for the architecture alone. I'd love to go back to see the inner courtyard garden one day. Also, make sure you look up closely at the top of the building while you're walking around Rådhuspladsen. There are some unique sculptures that will draw you in.

It feels important but not stuffy. The building dates back to the early 1900s and is a centerpiece of Danish civic life, hosting everything from official ceremonies to public events. When we were there, the square out front was buzzing with an Indian fair, complete with yoga and music, which somehow worked perfectly against the historic backdrop. Old stone, global culture, and people stretching in downward dog. Only in Copenhagen.

It was sculpted by Anders Bundgaard for Carlsberg's 50th Anniversary. It was originally meant to be placed in the City Hall Square. It's definitely more appropriate here as a gateway to the Sound (Øresund). This amazing fountain at the end of Churchillparken makes such a grand entrance to the Langelinie side of the harbor where you will find the Little Mermaid. There's a bridge connecting the 2 parks together. The views from the Gefion Bridge are amazing! The star-shaped fort (Kastellet), military museums, and monuments are probably the biggest draw to this area. It's all such a beautiful setting. One could easily spend half a day here. It's a great place to be on a beautiful sunny day.

I randomly walked by it while exploring the harbor area of Copenhagen and had to look it up.

It looked so familiar to me, and I didn't know why until I looked over to my right. It's the fountain that we saw in the distance from Amalienborg Palace Square. The symmetry of the garden was created with the Frederiksgade axis in mind. The best visual of this alignment would probably be from Frederik's Church. There are sculptured patina columns placed symmetrically on each corner of this royal path leading to the harbor. These are the works of the Italian abstract artist, Arnaldo Pomodoro. It brings in an interesting element that melds urbanization with nature. I didn't really notice it right away until seeing how the sunlight interacts with the columns when walking back towards the street. It's a cool feature! The rest of the garden is very well designed and manicured. I love the tall Boxwood shrubs along the wall. It gives the garden path a majestic look while obstructing the view of the street. It makes this garden a little more secluded from everyday life in the city. It was a nice stop along the harbor on our way back to Nyhavn and Christianshavn.
