The 2027 Copenhagen Light Festival lasts 24 days. The central route will follow the harborfront from Ofelia Plads through Nyhavn and Havnegade, continuing toward Christiansborg and BLOX. Around 30 works are planned for this main stretch, with the remaining installations placed in other Copenhagen districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installations are typically illuminated between 5 and 10 p.m., although individual operating times can differ. The official festival map<\/strong><\/a> is the place to check exact locations and schedules once the 2027 program has replaced the previous edition. Do not plan around an old map, since artworks move each year. <\/p>\n\n\n

A practical Copenhagen Light Festival walking route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best one-evening plan follows the confirmed waterfront route from north to south. Start at Ofelia Plads at about 5:30 p.m., then walk toward Nyhavn before following the harbor past Havnegade, Slotsholmen, Christiansborg, and BLOX. The direct line is roughly 2 kilometers, but artwork detours and photography stops can bring your total closer to 3 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
