A peaceful urban space that exudes tranquility and nature

Surrounding the beautiful facade of Østre Gasværk, Morten Grunwalds Plads serves as a quiet, green oasis. Here, the grass beneath your feet, well-tended flower beds, and blooming plants give the square its character and create a cozy setting for a break outdoors.

The small seating areas with benches invite you to settle in with a cup of coffee, read a few pages of a book, or simply watch the neighborhood’s everyday life go by from a distance. The square’s secluded location and well-kept, garden-like atmosphere give it a special sense of tranquility that contrasts with Østerbro’s livelier shopping streets.

It’s not a place you’d necessarily go to for big experiences—and that’s exactly part of its charm. Morten Grunwalds Plads is a small, local oasis where you can slow down and enjoy a moment surrounded by greenery.
