If you love modern Danish style, this tour of Copenhagen’s most notable design and architectural highpoints is for you. Traveling the city by coach and on foot, you’ll encounter the best work done over recent decades, by design legends like architectural superstar Arne Jacobsen, Jorn Utzon of Sydney Opera House fame, and Henning Larsen who recently completed the Danish Design Center. The Paustian House furniture center, for example, represents Utzon’s elegant solution to a challenging site on the waterfront. The crisp Bauhaus lines of the Bellavista and Soholm row house complexes are vintage Jacobsen, still in high demand years later. You’ll see the new wing of the National Gallery, artfully attached to the old. Larsen’s stunning Danish Design Center. The Royal Library building dubbed the Black Diamond for its angular black granite-and-glass skin. The old Holmen naval base area that bustles with exciting new life and avant-garde construction projects. You will also pass by an absolute bucket-lister: The Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, designed top to bottom in 1959 style by Jacobsen, right down to the knives and forks inside. Resume your driving tour past the Danish Design Center and on to The Black Diamond (Royal Library) where you will have an additional photo stop. This building is another example of successfully combing new and old wings. Lastly, you'll see Holmen - the Old Naval Station before heading back to the pier. This area was opened to the public after 400 years when the marines moved out. Bit by bit, the area is turning in to a special location with many exciting designer projects under construction that includes exclusive residences, avant-garde exhibition areas and trendy bars. After this explore by driving the place to spot new and rule-bending architecture in Copenhagen: the neighborhood of Oerestad with the award-winning residential buildings VM Mountain and 8House designed by architect Bjarke Ingels (BIG). As last, enjoy the last scenic drive through the center to be headed back to the pier.
