A great insider tip for visiting places that are otherwise closed to the public: The Night of Culture in Copenhagen each year in October. This is a major annual event that even grants Copenhagen visitors access to venues that are usually closed to visitors…

Every year in mid October 300 museums, churches, galleries, political institutions, exhibitions and many other venues in Copenhagen will open their doors to visitors - and in some of them, visitors usually aren’t allowed inside, which makes this a great travel secret amongst Copenhagen travelers. There are shows, exhibitions, and so much more activities for all ages.

Well over 75,000 visitors annually visit the Night of Culture in Denmark’s capital. With a Night of Culture Pass you get free admission to the venues, plus free access to public transportation in Copenhagen.

The Night of Culture Pass can be bought for just 75 DKK (around 10 Euro) at local museums or online at www.kulturnatten.dk, where you can also find locations, opening hours, etc.
