Enjoy life at the top: 5 cool rooftop terraces in Copenhagen

Cocktail art at a height of 70 metres

Close to Nordhavn you'll find SILO CPH, a former grain silo on the waterfront that today houses several different restaurants from which you can enjoy perhaps the best views in the city.

Bar. 17, for example, is a tribute to Bornholm's unique nature, raw materials and small local producers, so here you can taste exciting Bornholm beers and cocktails like Svalebajer and Sol over Silo.

Great cocktail bar by Nørreport

In the heart of Copenhagen you'll find a little oasis high above the bustle of the city. Get off the Metro at Nørreport and head up to the top of Hotel Scandic, where you'll find the Level Six rooftop bar.

Here you can enjoy tapas, pizza, drinks or maybe a cup of hot chocolate. Level Six also offers a small S'mores kit so you can roast marshmallows on the grill. The roof is open every day from 12 noon.

Exclusive luxury at Nimb

At the top of Nimb, just opposite Copenhagen Central Station, hides a whole other world of luxury. On the rooftop terrace you'll find the most beautiful Italian mosaic stone heated pool, sun loungers and a cocktail bar, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the amazing view.

The roof terrace is normally reserved for hotel guests and members of the Nimb Club, but during the summer Nimb organises special events where everyone is welcome. Keep an eye out for events at Nimb here.

Sushi and drinks under the clouds

Take the lift up to the 12th floor of Tivoli Hotel and step into a floating experience high above the city. Sticks'nSushi offers sushi, drinks and desserts on their rooftop terrace with the most beautiful views of the city.

Enhance the feeling of floating in the cosy seat swings at the bar or feel the rush in your stomach when you step out onto the transparent glass floor. If you take the Metro to Havneholmen, it's only a short walk along the waterfront to Tivoli Hotel.

Eat in a budding rooftop garden

In Østerbro, the roof of an old car auction house has been transformed into a budding vegetable garden and the restaurant Gro Spiseri. 

Take the Metro to Vibenshus Runddel and enjoy a lovely dinner at the cosy long tables surrounded by green plants. Try their 3-course lunch or 5-course dinner menu based on fresh seasonal ingredients grown by local producers - or simply enjoy a glass of wine or a drink in the beautiful surroundings. Open from Thursday to Sunday.
