Timeline
14:38
Grab a traditional Danish lunch at Kongekilden. The 18th-century brick building offers a cozy refuge before the evening sets in. The lunch platter is a generous way to start your evening.
15:38
Walk to Ordrupgaard. The Zaha Hadid extension and the park grounds provide a striking backdrop as the light begins to shift. Use this time to settle into the museum atmosphere before the main event.
16:08
Watch the sunset from the museum grounds. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a final glow over the park and the historic collection. This is the peak moment of your evening.
16:53
Head to Den Gule Cottage for dinner and a drink. This tiny, thatched-roof restaurant sits on a grassy patch between the sea and the park. It is the perfect spot to enjoy the darkening sky with a set menu.
