KU.BE Copenhagen

Playful culture and community house

Charlotte from Copenhagen

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming. A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be ...
"The architecture is twisting my brain and inviting my body to move and play in new ways and the folks working there are always kind and helpful."

The intention behind KU.BE is to play with the borders between culture, health, and movement, and it’s like the entire building is inviting you to think new thoughts and reassemble everything you know into new constellations.

Personally, I love everything about the house. The architecture is twisting my brain and inviting my body to move and play in new ways. The folks working the front desk and the café are always kind and helpful, creating such an inviting vibe. The variety of offerings on the calendar is pretty impressive as well: an intimate jazz concert, parkour training for kids, author talks, science lectures, and the biweekly community dinners – it’s a long list of activities.

Located only a two-minute walk from Flintholm Station makes it super easy to visit this gem. The house is great for both kids and adults - explore the quirks and surprises spread across the floors! You can bring your own food or take a break in the café - the soup of the day is 85DKK, and a cup of tea is 32DKK. Many different people and groups use the house, so there’s also the possibility of striking up interesting conversations.

Behind the building is a really cool park, just as creatively laid out as the inside. KU.BE is an architectural, intellectual, and cultural playground, and I hope you will accept the invitation to play.

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming. A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be the biggest of cities, but there's so much going on; so many events, subcultures, and places to uncover. I love just to wander the streets with exploration as my only mission, and even though I've liv...

Dansekapellet

Dancing at the old crematorium

Dancing under the dome in the big ellipse-shaped room or simply lying down for a sound bath is a wonderful way to spend your time in Copenhagen.

Body, mind, and spirit

Svanemølle-molen

Best pier in town

Even when the temperature descends to freezing, you’ll still see folks making use of the space, many just walking to the tip and enjoying the view.

Mindelunden

Remembering WW2

In 1950, it opened as a memorial, and much love and reverence have been poured into creating a place of tranquility and beauty.

Café Lindevang

Tradition since 1938

You come for the tradition and the ambience, but just as importantly, you come for the good food. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious.

Not just a library

So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, people meeting for language exchange and remember to notice the local art decorating the walls.

Lersøparken

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.
