Copenhagen Boulders is an indoor climbing spot in Copenhagen, Denmark, and a practical choice for visitors who want an active break from sightseeing. Because it is indoors, it works just as well on a grey or wet day as on a clear one.
What to expect
The centre is built around bouldering, a style of climbing done on shorter walls without ropes, using routes known as boulder problems. The problems suit both beginners and more experienced climbers, so you can try a few easier ones to get a feel for the holds and move on to harder challenges if you are confident. Visiting alone is a perfectly normal way to go, and the atmosphere is friendly and social rather than intimidating.
Why visit
- A change of pace from museums, streets and canals.
- A chance to meet local climbers and other visitors.
- A way to see the more active side of Copenhagen, whatever the weather.
Plan a visit as a few hours in the middle of a day of sightseeing, or as an evening activity after a day on foot. Copenhagen's central streets and harbour areas are easy to reach from the city centre, so it fits comfortably into most itineraries.
