About
Studenterhuset is a student-run cultural venue and café in central Copenhagen, on Store Kannikestræde. It is the kind of place where a visit depends on what is on the calendar, since its programme is built around events rather than a fixed display.
What to expect
The venue hosts a mix of activities aimed at students and the wider public:
- concerts
- club nights
- debates
- other cultural events
Because it is run by students, the atmosphere tends to be informal and social. An evening here usually means choosing an event and going along, rather than simply walking through the rooms.
Planning a visit
Check the programme before you go, as each event differs in format and audience. A concert, a debate and a club night will feel quite different, so pick the one that suits your interests. The café makes it possible to come in for a drink or a bite even if you are not staying for a performance.
Its location in central Copenhagen makes it easy to combine with other parts of the city. Once you have finished, you can wander the surrounding streets of the old centre and see what else the evening holds. For visitors who enjoy seeing how a city's younger residents gather and spend their time, Studenterhuset offers a useful window into that side of Copenhagen.
