Illum, Rooftop bar and terrace in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Illum Rooftop is a terrace on the fourth floor of the Illum department store offering views across Copenhagen. Multiple restaurants, bars, and cafés share the outdoor space with different seating areas and dining options.
The rooftop has been part of the Illum building since its early days, serving as a vantage point over the city. Over time it evolved from a simple access space into a dining and leisure destination.
The space reflects Copenhagen's food scene by offering fresh locally-inspired cuisine mixed with international influences. Different establishments on the same rooftop give visitors a chance to experience how the city blends Nordic traditions with modern dining.
The space is easily accessible from the department store, and wheelchair access is available. Visitors should come prepared for open-air conditions, especially on rainy or windy days.
The terrace winds through different establishments, each with its own view and atmosphere, so visitors can explore multiple spaces without leaving the rooftop. This layout creates a sense of discovery as you move through different areas.
