Discover more about Rødovre Centrum
A pioneering Danish shopping landmark
Rødovre Centrum is more than a local mall; it is widely regarded as Denmark’s first true modern shopping centre, opened in 1966 when the idea of a fully indoor retail complex was still new in Europe. Inspired by American malls of the era, it brought a climate-controlled, all‑in‑one shopping experience to the western suburbs of Copenhagen and has grown steadily ever since. Today it covers a sizeable area with several levels of walkways, atriums and side wings reflecting decades of careful expansion. At its heart, the centre still functions as a classic suburban hub: a place where daily life plays out between supermarket runs, coffee breaks and casual browsing. Wide glass fronts, bright interiors and generous artificial lighting keep it welcoming even on dark winter afternoons.Shops, dining and everyday convenience
With more than a hundred shops and services, Rødovre Centrum caters to most needs in a single stop. Fashion chains, shoe and sports stores, homeware, electronics and beauty brands sit alongside local specialists and small kiosks. A large department store and a full‑service supermarket anchor the mix, making it as useful for weekly groceries as for seasonal wardrobe updates. Scattered through the complex are cafés, bakeries and casual restaurants serving everything from quick snacks to sit‑down meals. Many have views into the main corridors or atrium spaces, letting you watch the flow of people while you eat. It is easy to punctuate a shopping round with a coffee, ice cream or early dinner without ever stepping outside.Entertainment, leisure and family facilities
Rødovre Centrum doubles as an entertainment venue. A multiplex cinema occupies part of the complex, screening mainstream releases in comfortable indoor surroundings. Nearby, a bowling centre and fitness facilities add more reasons to linger beyond pure retail. Combined with a children’s amusement area and smaller play corners, the centre works well for multi‑generational outings. Families appreciate the practical touches: escalators and lifts between levels, pram‑friendly corridors and clear wayfinding. The atmosphere is busy but sheltered, offering a straightforward option for keeping children occupied on cold or rainy days while still getting errands done.Architecture, layout and atmosphere
Architecturally, the mall reveals its history in layers. Original sections from the 1960s and 1970s are connected to newer wings with higher ceilings, larger skylights and contemporary finishes. The result is a varied interior environment where some corridors feel intimate and low‑key, while others open onto spacious nodes filled with natural light. Seating clusters and occasional decorative installations create small resting pockets off the main flow. Outside, the buildings form a low, sprawling complex set near Rødovre Town Hall. Extensive parking areas wrap the centre, reinforcing its role as a drive‑up suburban destination. Once inside, however, the focus shifts entirely to the pedestrian experience, with long, shop‑lined promenades and sheltered gathering points.Planning your visit to Rødovre Centrum
The mall’s opening hours are generous on weekdays, with slightly shorter trading times on weekends and public holidays, so you can comfortably plan either a targeted errand run or an unhurried half‑day visit. Free parking in large numbers of spaces makes visits by car straightforward, while covered entrances help on wet or windy days. Most visitors spend a few hours combining shopping, a meal and perhaps a film or bowling session. It is well suited to those staying in Copenhagen who want a practical, weather‑proof alternative to high‑street shopping, as well as residents using it as their regular centre for groceries, services and everyday necessities.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
