About Parken Stadium#

Parken Stadium is Denmark’s national stadium in Copenhagen and serves as the home ground for FC Copenhagen and the Denmark national football team. The current stadium opened in the early 1990s and is the country’s largest football venue.

The venue features a spectator bowl around a natural-grass pitch, corporate areas and facilities for concerts and large events. A folding roof allows events to proceed in poor weather and the stadium is commonly used for international football fixtures and major concerts.

Parken was constructed to replace earlier facilities on the site and has hosted national team matches, European club fixtures and large entertainment events since opening. It is regularly upgraded to meet sporting and safety standards.

The stadium is located in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, north of the city centre and within easy reach of central public transport links and major roads.

  • Primary tenants: Home ground for FC Copenhagen and the Denmark national football team, with frequent domestic and international matches.
  • Access: Well served by public transport with nearby Østerport and Svanemøllen stations in walking distance for matchdays.

What to See#

  • Main bowl and pitch: The main football pitch and spectator bowl used for domestic league matches, international fixtures and concerts; configured to UEFA standards for national matches.
  • Roof and covers: A retractable roof that can be closed for concerts and inclement weather, allowing the venue to host non-football events year-round.

How to Get to Parken Stadium#

From Copenhagen Airport take a regional/Øresund train to Østerport (about 15 minutes) or take the metro/trains into central Copenhagen and change for Østerport; city buses also serve the Østerbro area.
