We are easily accessible by car, bus or Metro as well as by bicycle or on foot.
Shopping is concentrated along the three streets, Gl. Kongevej, Falconer Allé and Godthåbsvej. A shopping centre is found right in the middle of Frederiksberg next to the Frederiksberg Metro station. However, many other streets have their share of interesting shops.
Frederiksberg is renowned for its wealth of entertainment and recreational amenities - and the town’s beautiful spaces and parks are filled with high-quality entertainment and cultural offerings. And we have a thriving café life and many good places to dine.
One of the most special art experiences in all of Denmark can be found in the Museum of Modern Glass Art, which is placed in the subterranean former Water Cisterns beneath Søndermarken right next to the Zoo.
