Ballerup

Travel Guide

Go wild in the big event centre, chalk up your bowling shoes or test your speed on the go-kart track. Enjoy shopping, culture and great food in the cosy city centre.

Spend your holiday in Ballerup and enjoy having everything within easy reach: Ballerup is ideally situated close to both green areas and Copenhagen, which is 20 minutes by train. You can also enjoy a lovely swim in the Øresund, or in the city’s own swimming pool, East Kilbride Badet.

If you travel to Ballerup on holiday, you are not only close to the capital and the sea you also have plenty of fun activities to choose from in Ballerup itself. If you’re on a family holiday or weekend break, visit Greater Copenhagen’s biggest event centre, Ballerup Go-kart Centre. Adrenalin junkies can test their speed on the go-kart track, while the quieter among you can go bowling next door. Hungry racing drivers and ball throwers can refuel in the event centre’s cosy restaurant.

If you prefer more traditional holiday activities, such as shopping and cafés, you won’t go far wrong in Ballerup. Choose from the cosy city centre or the large and modern Ballerup Centre, which has a wide selection of specialist shops and excellent cafés. If your body needs a little TLC, visit the Magic Klinik for a relaxing facial or massage.

Ballerup also has plenty to offer in terms of nightlife. If you enjoy sports, visit the Ballerup Super Arena. The modern sports arena is used for many other activities too, such as concerts, trade fairs, flea markets, sports, presentations, culture festivals, fashion shows and exhibitions. You don’t need to be a sports fan to experience the arena.

Culture is a major feature of Ballerup, and you can also visit Kulturhuset Baghuset. This is home to concerts, theatre, reviews and jazz in the most stunning setting, namely the historic merchant’s house. Kulturhuset. Baltoppen LIVE also offers large cultural events, including concerts, new circuses, contemporary dance, traditional theatre, stand-up and comedy shows.

In short, Ballerup is an exciting and versatile destination, regardless of the season and interests. And with Copenhagen on your doorstep, Ballerup makes the ideal city-break location.

"The best apartment I’ve ever stayed at! The short walk to the Metro, grocery store and on site laundry did it for me. The kitchen access was the cherry on top. I couldn’t believe I got all of that for that low of a price, WOW! You scored, I wish you were in all of Scandinavia!"
