Fisketorvet

Fisketorvet is a large waterfront shopping centre at Kalvebod Brygge 59 in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro district, beside Dybbølsbro Station and close to the harbour, Bryggebroen, and the Bicycle Snake. Designed by architect Karl Gustav Åkerström of Kiehlers Architects, it opened on 10 October 2000 on the former site of Copenhagen’s fish market, which operated there from 1958 until relocating to North Harbour in 1999. The building’s curved, layered form recalls an ocean liner at the quay, while its roughly 58,000 square metres contain about 120 shops, restaurants and cafés, and a large multiplex cinema with IMAX. Its upper rooftop provides views across the harbour and Harbour Bath, and the Kajen food hall below offers more than 30 food concepts. Shops generally open from 10:00 to 20:00, though individual restaurants, the cinema, and seasonal rooftop facilities may keep different hours.
