A Modern Hub in Copenhagen's Evolving Landscape
Bella Center Copenhagen stands as Scandinavia's second-largest exhibition and conference center, commanding 122,000 square meters of fully air-conditioned space within the dynamic Ørestad district. The venue emerged from a strategic relocation in 1973–75, moving from its original 1965 location in northern Copenhagen to its current position on Amager, positioned strategically between the city center and airport. This transformation proved prescient: with the development of Ørestad beginning in the 1990s and the arrival of the Copenhagen Metro M1 line in 2004, the center found itself at the heart of one of Europe's most rapidly evolving urban quarters.Flexible Spaces for Every Event Imaginable
The center's architectural strength lies in its adaptability. Five primary exhibition halls—A through E—offer 65,000 square meters of configurable event space. Hall A, a sophisticated black box with carpeted floors and an adjustable nine-meter star ceiling, accommodates up to 4,100 guests and divides into three independent sections. Hall B's distinctive industrial aesthetic with natural daylight supports up to 6,100 people and can be partitioned into 40 separate meeting rooms. Hall C, spanning 14,000 square meters with bright, welcoming natural light, hosts up to 8,000 attendees. Hall D (Bella Arena) offers a column-free design with five soundproof sections and a 12-meter ceiling, ideal for any configuration. Hall E, crowned by a glass roof with indoor trees, rises to 25 meters and accommodates 2,500 guests. Beyond these grand spaces, the center provides 48 permanent meeting rooms ranging from intimate two-person spaces to 400-person configurations, plus four auditoriums with capacities between 310 and 930 persons.Connectivity and Technical Excellence
Bella Center operates as a fully integrated event ecosystem. One of Europe's most advanced high-speed WiFi networks facilitates thousands of simultaneous delegates. Professional audio-visual solutions, comprehensive network infrastructure, and on-site technical support ensure seamless event execution. The center supplies power, water, rigging, stand construction, furniture, signage, security, and cloakroom services, or permits external suppliers under Bella Center supervision. The attached 814-room Bella Sky Hotel, designed by Danish architects 3XN and featuring two inclined towers standing 76.5 meters tall, provides accommodation with 32 conference rooms, three restaurants, a sky bar, and wellness facilities.Strategic Location and Accessibility
The venue's position defines its appeal. Bella Center Metro Station sits directly adjacent to the East Entrance, connecting to the M1 line that reaches Copenhagen city center in approximately 10 minutes. Copenhagen Airport lies just 7 minutes away by car. The Ørestad train station nearby offers regional connections to Malmö and onward travel. Free shuttle service operates from 6 AM to 11 PM, while multiple bus lines serve the location. On-site parking accommodates 1,700 vehicles through APCOA and EasyPark systems. The surrounding neighborhood offers Scandinavia's largest shopping center (Fields), Royal Golf Center, and protected natural areas ideal for recreation.The Ørestad Context: Urban Transformation
Bella Center anchors the Ørestad development, a masterplanned urban quarter that transformed former commons into a dense, modern district. Contemporary architecture of international caliber, state-of-the-art media facilities (TV-Byen, Denmark's equivalent to the BBC), and innovative cultural spaces characterize the surroundings. The eastern neighborhoods feature Amager Strandpark, a popular beach area accessible by 30-minute bicycle ride or 10-minute metro journey. The western sector showcases cutting-edge design, international architecture, and Copenhagen's celebrated ice bar. This dynamic setting positions Bella Center not merely as an event venue but as a gateway to one of Northern Europe's most progressive urban environments.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
