Ofelia Plads

Ofelia Plads is a public space situated on the Kvæsthus Pier next to the Royal Danish Playhouse on the harbourfront in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The pier was built as a hub for the new steam ferries that had begun to operate between Copenhagen and most of the larger seaports in the provinces.

Large squares coated with dark grooved concrete, step down in the north and disappear under the water level.

The square is equipped with pavilions containing the entrance to the car park, a café, toilets, ticket sales for the harbour tours and a fly tower for outdoor plays, concerts and other kinds of performance.

Furthermore, the square is arranged with the possibility for installing big screens, temporary covers, and is equipped with gear for various street- and beach sports.

Ofelia Plads is host to a wide array of cultural activities, including opera, ballet, concerts and story time for children.
