Parken Stadium

The Parken Stadium is home to Danish club FC Copenhagen and the Danish national football team.

What is the capacity of the Parken Stadium?

The capacity for the stadium for football matches is 36,065, although this can be extended for music concerts that are held at the venue regularly.

The stadium itself has a retractable roof, and has four stands: The A Stand, B Stand, Family Stand and Carlsberg Stand.

The Carlsberg Stand is the largest of the four and can hold up to 13,300 fans. The A Stand is next, with a capacity of 12,100. The B Stand has a capacity of 8,800, while the Family Stand is the smallest, only able to seat 3,900 fans.

FC Copenhagen do not offer regular stadium tours in autumn. Schools and workplaces can arrange private tours with up to 40 participants.

The Urban House Copenhagen is an ideal place to stay if you are looking for a low budget hotel while visiting the Parken Stadium.

Located in the Vesterbro district and only 200 metres away from the centre, it gives you access to explore the city also and at a reasonable price.

The Copenhagen Strand Hotel is another low budget accommodation recommended for visitors of the Danish capital. Located near the city centre, it is another place that is accessible for football fans to get to the Parken Stadium with ease.

Sleep in Heaven is a brilliant name for a hostel. It has access to its own bar and beer garden while only being a ten-minute walk away from the metro station, making it nice and accessible to the Parken Stadium.

Where to eat near the Parken Stadium

If you are looking to dine in style, and don’t want to miss the match, or do not want to travel far, well, the Parken Stadium actually has it’s own three-star Michelin restaurant.

Geranium, as it is named, is located on the eighth floor of the stadium and boasts the accolade of being named in The World’s Top 50 Best restaurants back in 2022.

But if you want to explore the city and move away from the stadium then there are plenty of choices to be had. We recommend you try Humann’s Vinstue, a restaurant that is located in the centre of Copenhagen. It is vegetarian friendly and has a menu that includes Danish foods and specialties.

Where to drink around the Parken Stadium

There are plenty of bars and nightclubs that visiting fans can enjoy a pint in while visiting Copenhagen, although it is a little bit more expensive here than in places in the UK and elswhere in Europe.

A pint of Carlsberg, the local beer, can range from $6.78-$9.90 in places.

But if you are really into your beer, you can do a tour of the Carlsberg Brewery, with each person getting two beers thrown in for good measure.
