Experience a real horror show

Take the Metro to Trianglen, where from October 22 through November 1 you can experience Circus of Torment – a circus show where nothing is as it usually is.

Instead of tightrope walkers, acrobats, and jugglers, a terrifying freak show awaits you, featuring mysterious fortune-tellers, psychopathic performers, and murderous clowns.

Do you dare take a seat in the front row for this hair-raising horror show?

Jump down the rabbit hole

In the days leading up to Halloween, Kulturstationen Vanløse is transformed into a dark and unsettling version of Alice in Wonderland. 

Take the Metro to Vanløse and follow Alice and the mysterious creatures into the darkness as you try to find your way through the eerie maze.

But be careful… You never know what’s lurking just around the corner. 

The Horror Maze is open from October 29 through November 1.

Play Bankoween at Absalon

When darkness falls on October 31, you can take the Metro to Enghave Plads and seek refuge from the monsters at Absalon, which is hosting Bankoween.

Be prepared, though, for your hair to stand on end as spine-chilling tunes and spooky Halloween hits blast full volume on the dance floor.

Once the music bingo is over, the DJ takes over and gets the dance floor going.

Come in costume—there are prizes for the best costumes.

Learn more about death and the afterlife

Not far from the Metro station at Rådhuspladsen, you’ll find the Glyptotek, which most people usually associate with sculptures, art, and the iconic winter garden.

On October 31, however, you can take a spooky guided tour featuring macabre tales of death, the earliest ghost stories, and the museum’s mummy cellar.

Experience Death and the Afterlife at 12:30 p.m. in English and at 2:00 p.m. in Danish.

Enjoy some incredibly delicious Halloween cookies

If you’re not really into monsters, death, and destruction, you can celebrate Halloween in a slightly calmer and more pleasant way: Take the Copenhagen Metro to DR Byen and visit Bake my Day, which serves up the finest Halloween cupcakes.

For example, you can sink your teeth into a chocolate cake with Oreo cream disguised as a pumpkin or a Biscoff ghost cake.

Be sure to try their decadent pumpkin spice latte, too.
