The Architect's Guide to Copenhagen - Dan Stubbergaard
Take a ride through Copenhagen with Danish architect and founder of COBE Dan Stubbergaard, as he points out some of his favourite spots around the city.
In 2023, Copenhagen has been awarded UNESCO-UIA - World Capital of Architecture in recognition of its strong legacy within architecture and innovative urban development, along with its high ambitions on climate, sustainable solutions, and liveability.
For that reason, we have asked a couple of Danish architects to give their opinions on what makes Copenhagen special.
Dan Stubbergaard will guide us to some of his favourite places in and around Copenhagen.

From the holy grails of the Grundtvig's Church to the depts of the Metro System, and everything in between, Copenhagen is a forerunner in architectural adventures that will bring you both high above and down below.

Tekno Eatery describes itself as a social cafeteria with a strong focus on sustainability, organic food and less food waste.
Superkilen is a public space in Nørrebro designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Superflex and Topotek1. Since opening in 2012, it has created a diverse experience, and combined with its vision of creating a park that would bring people together, it is the perfect place to hang out or explore.
The Copenhagen Metro system runs around the clock every day of the week. It is designed by KHR Architecture whose focus was to create a safe and light environment both above and below ground.
