Nordatlantens Brygge is a cultural centre in Copenhagen, set in a historic warehouse on the Christianshavn canal. It is devoted to the art, culture and nature of the North Atlantic regions, including Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
What to expect
The venue brings the North Atlantic to the Danish capital through a programme that changes over time. Visitors can find:
- Exhibitions showing work from the North Atlantic region
- Concerts and theatre performances
- A restaurant serving Nordic cuisine
Why visit
For anyone curious about the islands and territories of the North Atlantic, this is a convenient way to get a sense of their creative life without travelling to them. The building itself, a former warehouse beside the canal, gives the visit a distinctly Copenhagen character. The setting suits an unhurried afternoon: take in an exhibition, then have a meal in the restaurant.
Christianshavn, where the centre sits, is one of the older districts of the city, with its canals and waterside streets. Those arriving for a performance or a meal can easily combine the trip with a walk along the water.
Because the programme of exhibitions, concerts and performances changes, it is worth checking what is on before you go to see whether a particular event matches your interests.
