Copenhagen Børsen Stock Exchange Building

As I made my way from Vesterbro’s Scandic Copenhagen to the grand Amalienborg Slotsplads, I couldn’t resist the temptation to stop and admire the majestic 17th-century Børsen Stock Exchange building of Copenhagen, which was located by the Borsgade strait. I was surrounded by an atmosphere of awe as the structure, with its rare renaissance style and gothic architecture, cloaked in multiple shades of orangish gold was a sight to behold. Nasdaq Copenhagen is a true reminder of the wonders of architecture and design.

The sight of Børsen’s intertwining spires against the copper ceiling was absolutely captivating. But, in person, it was even more spectacular than my wildest fantasies. Wouldn’t you love to take a peek inside the iconic 17th-century building that symbolizes Denmark’s renowned economic power? Well, you’re in luck! Even though you need an invitation from the authorities to enter, the Copenhagen stock exchange opens its doors to the public each year on Cultural Night in October! All it takes is a DKK 90 entry ticket – a small price to pay to explore such an amazing place!

On days when the weather is just right, a canal tour is a great way to observe the magnificent Stock Exchange building exteriors. It’s truly a sight to behold as you marvel at the rippling reflection of the building in the Borsgade strait – what a majestic spectacle! As our yacht sailed serenely through the shimmering emerald waters, the building’s enchantment intensified. My eyes were immediately drawn to the 200-foot-high dragon spire, its opulent crowns glimmering in the sunlight. One look at its intricate brick facade and I was immediately transported back in time.

On this glorious day, the sun shone down upon Børsen’s opulent exterior, casting a warm glow across its copper vaulting and exquisite architecture. With my guide by my side, I was regaled with the wonders of its interior. “The reception hall,” she began, “is a veritable feast of wall paintings and unique mosaic art, all carved from wood. It’s a sight to behold,” she added with a twinkle in her eye. 

The iconic Børsen, built by the illustrious King Christian IV and a staple of Copenhagen’s history, is truly something special. It has been the site of grand governmental conferences, exquisite gala dinners, and other noteworthy events, and I can only imagine how majestic it looks from the inside. One day, I hope to find out for myself!
