Rådhuspladsen

The large central square of Rådhuspladsen is flanked on one side by the city hall (or rådhus) and on another by Copenhagen's modern municipal bus terminus, and marks the heart of Copenhagen. The bustling pedestrian shopping street Strøget begins at the northeast side of Rådhuspladsen, while the historic pleasure garden, Tivoli, glitters to the southwest.

Rådhuspladsen is not especially attractive and there have been endless discussions recently about how to jazz it up - designs for a spectacular Norman Foster tower within the wall of Tivoli overlooking the square have now been binned.
