Absalon is a community center/hall in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. It’s one of the more unique venues around the city – it’s a little quirkier for Copenhagen standards, hosting all sorts of events like bingo, yoga, Lino printing, life drawing, and so on, with an affordable community dinner taking place every night. During the day, it’s a kind of cafe/study lounge/canteen, and you’ll see plenty of students working away on their laptops or families with their little ones grabbing a quick drink. The place is, of course, still as pristine and aesthetic as the other buildings and projects around the city. But I’ve yet to see a place as playful as this around Copenhagen, catering to people of all ages and interests. I’ve even come here to study myself on a couple of occasions – it’s a rather popular place that gets easily crowded, so it’s best to come early in the morning.
These shots were taken pre-lockdown. I look forward to visiting again sometime.







Lovely colors, perspectives, and architecture. 😎

Years ago, I used to travel to København a lot for business. I got to see all the tourist things, the mermaid, Tivoli Gardens, Hans Christian Andersen, Amalienborg Palace, et al.
I’ve never been to Absalon though. It looks delightful and could be a wonderful place to while away the time. Write…
