Destination Insider

Did you know there’s a city within the city in Copenhagen?

Christiania – this name represents one of Europe’s most fascinating urban experiments. Founded in 1971 by a group of squatters as an autonomous free town, this unique neighborhood still exists today in the heart of Copenhagen. The self-governed community pays no taxes to the Danish state, has its own currency, and governs itself completely. Pretty exotic, right? That’s why Christiania is one of Copenhagen’s most visited attractions.

But Copenhagen has so much more to offer: Denmark’s capital is not only a cultural highlight but has also developed into one of Europe’s leading congress destinations in recent years – with state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent accessibility, and an unbeatable mix of business and experience.

Copenhagen as a leading congress destination

The Bella Center Copenhagen is Scandinavia’s largest exhibition and congress center and was recently comprehensively modernized. It offers everything successful international congresses need:

Bella Center highlights:

  • Over 65,000 m² of state-of-the-art exhibition and congress space
  • Flexible meeting rooms
  • State-of-the-art AV technology
  • Sustainability concept (CO2-neutral by 2025) which is getting more important in the industry- read more
  • Direct metro connection from the airport (12 minutes)

 

Excellent flight connections for international congresses
