The Playhouse

4.5 ·

Head to The Playhouse, the striking theatre standing right on Copenhagen's harbour. Catch a stage performance, or pair the building's waterfront setting with dinner overlooking the water and the city skyline.

📖

Full description

The Playhouse is a purpose-built modern theatre on the Copenhagen waterfront, noticed from afar for its large, assertive architecture. Inside, it stages plays across several stages, and reviewers note the main hall feels more intimate than expected.

A restaurant and terraces add harbour and city views, so the building works as an evening destination as well as a performance venue. Paid tours of the interior are available for those who want to see the architecture without attending a show.

It is closed on Mondays and runs into the evening on other days, which suits a dinner-and-theatre outing.

Reviews

A very striking modern building which I only got to see from outside. There are some interesting performances staged here. You can also do a paid tour of the interior
