World Pride 2021 – Copenhagen
This year we are fortunate enough to have World Pride and the Euro Games taking place in Copenhagen, where our headquarters is located. Denmark has historically been one of the most accepting countries in regards to the LGBTQIA+ community. Social Acceptances Denmark is a rather liberal country so there is little danger in being openly who you are. That also means, when it comes to LGBTQIA+ tourism, you will not find the same scale of LGBTQIA+ friendly or focused locations. This is because pretty much all locations and venues are LGBT friendly so hop on a Donkey bike and feel safe and free to explore.
Facts about LGBTQIA + Rights in Denmark
- Denmark was the first country in the world to grant legal recognition to same-sex unions in the form of registered partnerships in 1989

- Fælledparken: A variety of LGBTQIA+ events and concerts will be taking place. You can also enjoy the opening of the EURO Games there.
- Nyhavn: While no direct events will be taking place here, riding by the canals and visiting one of Copenhagen’s most photographed spots is always a treat. Here you will feel at home next to the array of colorful cafes and buildings.
- Rådhuspladsen: Better known as Pride Square, there will be several events taking place here. Usually filled with a main stage for a variety of shows and performances.
- Christiana: One of Denmark’s most interesting locations, Christiana is almost like being transported into a separate and independent city-state. Feel the hippie energy and visit Bøssehuset for all things LGBTQIA+.
