AIRE ANCIENT BATHS CPH

In the vibrant Carlsberg Byen district, the former Carlsberg brewery has been given a new lease of life as Copenhagen’s benchmark relaxation oasis. The iconic building dating back to 1881 has been returned to its former glory, with its original features restored and now part of the magical AIRE atmosphere. A place where time does not exist, where you can live a unique experience of total disconnection for the body and mind.

This way, one of the most emblematic buildings in Denmark has become the current location of AIRE Ancient Baths Copenhagen. Carlsberg, one of the best known and most consumed beer brands in the world, as well as the reference for the beautiful Scandinavian city and its inhabitants, is the perfect match for AIRE. The AIRE Experience is an oasis in which you can escape and disconnect from your surroundings. Silence, dim lights of thousands of candles, the smell of orange blossom, the hum of relaxing tunes, these are all key elements to the AIRE Experience.

TIVOLI

In the heart of Copenhagen, we have the historical amusement part Tivoli that opened its doors in 1843. The park was founded by Georg Carstensen who was inspired by the parks he had seen abroad, and he was given permission to open Tivoli by the King. Tivoli is for both children and adults who enjoys rides, food, and pretty decorations.

In that time, this park was different, and public fell in love with the elegance and exotic atmosphere that they could experience in Tivoli. One of the guests, H. C. Anders was inspired to write one of his classics, The Nightingale, during his visit.

ENGHAVE PLADS

Enghave Plads originates from 1897 as a large open square where 3 large streets met; Enghavevej, Istedgade & Dybbølsgade. It is most likely the most social and vibrant squares we have in Copenhagen that connects to our newly build Metro Station Enghave Plads.

There’s plenty of seating, planting and a nice little fountain. This is the place to go if you are looking for a cozy place to sit, drink good coffee and enjoy a Danish pastry as it is surrounded by cafés. The orange benches fit perfectly into this colorful neighbourhood.

MEAT PACKING DISTRICT

During the last decades, Copenhagen has experienced a transformation in architecture, infrastructure, and branding. Copenhagen is becoming a very popular destination and with several awards such as the safest city in the world, it is becoming a favorite amongst travelers.

Vesterbro is one of the places where one can experience a bit of everything as it has remained its history during its process in becoming a vibrant and modern part of the modern and colorful Vesterbro. Kødbyen offers visitors a combination of industry and culture that is difficult to find anywhere else.

VÆRNEDAMSVEJ (LITTLE PARIS)

Værnedamsvej is Copenhagens cosiest street. The street is named after a German soldier, Werner Damn, who opened a bodega on the corner of Vesterbrogade in the 1700’s. In the 1800’s it was knows as the butcher street due to the large number of butchers, and today there is 1 left.

Værnedamsvej is pure culture turned into a shopping street, just like in Paris. Here you will find clothing stores, butcher, florist, cheese-, ice cream- and a chocolate shop. It is lined up with café’s, bars, and restaurants. If you are looking for a Danish delicatesse, this is also the place to explore.
