Parking near Kultorvet

Kultorvet has a strategic location in the heart of Copenhagen, making it an unavoidable passage between Nørreport Station and Strøget. The square links the pedestrian streets Købmagergade and Frederiksborggade and serves as a central hub for pedestrians in the city.

The name Kultorvet comes from the coal sellers from Frederiksborg County who originally sold their fuel on this square. After the great fire of 1728, the square was laid out in a smaller version than it is today, and previously dense buildings have been replaced with open areas following demolitions.

Today, Kultorvet functions as a 'walk-through square' for those with errands in the inner city. At the same time, pavement cafés and fruit and flower stalls create an inviting and cozy atmosphere that encourages people to linger a bit longer.
