**★★★★★ Jan W — a month ago

Nice square, bang in the middle of Copenhagen historic centre with a statue of so-called founder of the town "Hafnia" (Harbour or port) Bishop Absalon. During summer plenty of outdoors restaurants. At Christmas, a regular town of Christmas huts.

**★★★★★ T greensake — a year ago

Was at this square on 12/5/24, beautiful structure and surrounding. Quite a good numbers of bench for resting.

**★★★★☆ Irina Kravchuk — 3 years ago

A statue of the Copenhagen founder - bishop Absalon. It's located on a nice square Højbro Plads with views of the Christiansborg and Nikolaj art center. Also, nearby there is a very nice place - Ved Stranden along the channel, with beautiful views.
