The sweet little Frederiksberg Runddel rink has been open since the end of November.
But today the Genforeningspladsens rink opened.
The area normally used for field sports and running has been transformed into a 12m x 400m skating rink. The largest in Northern Europe.

On the corner of Rådhuspladsen there stands one of Copenhagen’s only Art Deco buildings. Running the length of the tower is a superbly designed thermometer, which stylishly combines verdigris copper, and hot neon orange lighting.
