Home to F.C. Copenhagen and the Denmark national team, Parken hosted four UEFA Euro 2020 matches and can flip from a football ground to a 55,000-capacity concert bowl. It replaced the old Idrætsparken on the same site in Indre Østerbro, opening in September 1992 after a reconstruction that cost 640 million Danish kroner.
What to look for
- The retractable roof — the feature that defined the 1990–1992 rebuild and distinguishes it from most European grounds
- Geranium restaurant on the eighth floor — three Michelin stars, inside a football stadium
- The UEFA Euro 2020 markings and legacy fixtures — the ground ran three group-stage games and a round of 16 in that tournament
Located in the Indre Østerbro district; check F.C. Copenhagen's schedule for match days, or book Geranium well in advance if the restaurant is the draw.
