Brønshøj

Copenhagen
Experience "the real Copenhagen" on a holiday to Brønshøj, which also offers outstanding scenery, dramatic history and a range of cultural activities.

Brønshøj is situated in the Municipality of Copenhagen, approximately 4 miles northwest of the city centre and is close to the scenic area surrounding Utterslev Mose. The city can claim to be the place in Denmark with the most "native" locals and you can really experience the authenticity of Copenhagen.

The first mentions of Brønshøj date back to the year 1186 and the town has a long and dramatic history. During the siege of Copenhagen in the mid-1600s, the town and the surrounding area was used as a military camp by the Swedish king Karl Gustav, who named the camp Carlstad. At Rytterskolen, formerly Brønshøj Museum, you can see an exhibition about this period as well as other changing art installations.

The town has quaint shops dotted around the main square, and you can also visit Brønshøj Church, which is often a concert venue for various choirs. If you want to have a more cultural experience when visiting Brønshøj, you should visit Kulturhuset Pilegården. Here you can enjoy rock and jazz concerts, laugh at a stand-up comedy show or relax with a yoga class.

If you need to get some fresh air, you can take a stroll along Vestvolden, stretching around 10 miles from Utterslev Mose to Køge Bay. Along the way you can see some of the batteries and gunpowder machines that were part of the building.

It is easy to travel to Brønshøj from the UK, thanks to the excellent transport links to the town from nearby Copenhagen. The international Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, welcomes regular flights from a variety of locations in the UK. Buses run from Copenhagen Central Station, making exploration of the rest of Denmark straightforward, even if you don’t hire a car.

The popular author Bjarne Reuter has repeatedly used Brønshøj-Husum as the setting for his novels. So when you take a break in Brønshøj, you can experience the popular Danish television series ’Buster’s World’.
