What people say

"Take a trip south of Copenhagen to the seaside art museum, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art. Arken is a Museum of Contemporary Art and its maritime-inspired architecture has gained the museum international praise. The museum came about when a young architecture student won a design competition with a Deconstructivist museum, which resembled a giant beached ship and was constructed in 1996. ARKEN is translated to “The Ark” like The Ark of the Covenant. Deconstructivism takes recognisable shapes and split them making them overlapped and combined in new ways. That is ARKEN The idea was for the museum to be located on an island like a shipwreck, and this became a reality after new funds in 2016, and is now called the art island. Opening hours: Monday+tuesday: closed Wednesday-sunday: 11am to 5pm (thursdays to 9pm) Prices Adults: €18.75 Students: €16 Children (up to 17 years): free "
"It’s well worth catching a train to the coastal town of Ishøj, just 20km south of Copenhagen, to visit this cultural and architectural gem."

Mentioned in these guides

Welcome to my city! I created the ultimate guide with more than 200 selected things to do, see and taste as a result of more than 21 years living in this city. When people think of Denmark, they often picture the statue of the little mermaid, Tivoli amusement park and lots of bikes. And while Copenhagen is all of that, there’s also much more to the city. Included are the best places to see between: - Castles - Churches - Parks - Hidden gems - Museums & Galleries - Panoramic points - Best restaurants, unique cafes, street food, brunch - Suggested itineraries & more Here you'll also find general information of the city, how to get around, what not to do and frequently asked questions, as well as suggested itineraries.

I myself love the vendors as you can keep all your tickets/stays in one place (even better with the Copenhagen card), you also get instant confirmation and can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your planned activity/stay - this is a major benefit in a city like Copenhagen where the weather can dictate your itinerary. Using the links provided also help me as a small business, as I make a small commission with no additional charge to you!
