Copenhagen's prime exhibition and convention center, with over 123,000 m² of exhibition space. Fairly often there is an exhibition and event of some interest to the general public — check the current schedule on their website..
Bella Center is Scandinavia's second largest exhibition and conference center, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. Located in Ørestad between the city centre and Copenhagen Airport, it offers an indoor area of 121,800 square metres (1,311,000 ft2) and has a capacity of 30,000 people.

Copenhagen Concert Hall
Part of the public broadcasters new and problem ridden headquarters in Ørestad, this gem designed by French architect Jean Nouvel is the main reason behind the massive budget overruns of the project — with its final price tag approaching USD 300 million, it is among the most expensive concert halls ever built.
Mogens Dahl concert hall
The country's only privately owned concert hall, featuring some interesting architecture as it has been fitted into some old stables. The programme mainly features classical Chamber music, with artists from all over Europe.
Island brygge or Bryggen
Enormously popular green area and city beach, with enclosed salt water pools, including some shallow ones for kids, and a 5-m "jumping" tower, shower, grill and toilet facilities, and it is manned with life guards. Excellent spot for hanging out with locals on sunny days, and it is quite a peculiar sensation having a swim smack in the centre of the city.
Set in a beautiful old mansion-like country home from the 18th century, this museum displays a large collection of graphics from mainly Danish artists, including a large collection of the somewhat internationally known Cobra artists. There are also a temporary exhibition space.
Something of a peculiarity, Kalvebod Fælled covers 2000 hectares (5000 acres) of protected wetlands, beaches, forest, and lakes in southwest Amager, rich in wild-life like birds and deer. Nowhere else in Europe will you find such a large area of wild nature this close to a major city. There are quite a few activities available, like bike rentals, horse riding and lots of stuff for the kids. In the autumn many Copenhageners come here to fly colorful kites.
Another of Copenhagen's old fortifications, which has been turned into an attractive park. Other than the outline, moat, walls and a few buildings remaining, there is not much to see here in terms of history. But there are some nice views over the sound and you can venture into the open part of the catacombs and see bullet holes from Nazi executions during WWII. A stroll here is easily combined with a visit to Amager Strandpark (see Do section), but otherwise probably not worth the effort.
