The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at North Atlantic House

Both cards cover entry. Before that, the thing this page cannot tell you: the venue does not publish an admission price.

Copenhagen Card
What's included
Discover & Hop
✓ Both exhibition rooms, whatever is showing in them — the programme changes rather than staying put
✓ Included on both cards — Discover and Hop alike
✓ Open all year, per the card issuer, rather than closing for a season
At your own cost
Not included
Both cards
✗ Concerts, films and talks, which run on selected evenings and are their own events rather than part of admission
✗ The café, which is a separate business, and food and drink are not covered by the card anywhere
✗ A second visit. One scan per attraction, so the card opens this door once
Inside

What to see at North Atlantic House

Two rooms of art and culture from Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, in a warehouse on the Christianshavn waterfront. Allow an hour.

Highlight 1
One country at a time

The programme covers Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands in turn rather than all three at once, so what is on the walls depends entirely on when you go. It also means a return visit six months later is a different museum.

Highlight 2
The part of the kingdom nobody visits

Greenland and the Faroes are Danish territory, and almost no visitor to Copenhagen sees anything of either. This is the one card venue that is about them, which makes it a genuine gap-filler rather than another art gallery.

Highlight 3
The building and the waterfront

A former warehouse on Strandgade, on the Christianshavn side of the harbour, with the water on one side and the canals behind. The walk to it is a good part of the reason to go.

Before you visit

Read before you go

Two things we cannot confirm, stated as such, and one thing that makes the visit easy. Programme and address confirmed against nordatlantens.dk and the card issuer's listing.

The venue does not publish an admission price
  • No adult rate is published by the venue or by the card issuer, whose listing gives opening information only.
  • So this page carries no figure, and North Atlantic House is left out of our break-even calculator and out of the guide to how many days of card to buy. A price nobody can verify cannot be counted as a saving.
  • Coverage is separate, and confirmed. The card issuer lists it on both cards.
It is open all year — but the Monday rule is not confirmed
  • The card issuer states it is open all year, so there is no season to plan around, unlike several venues on the card.
  • What we have not been able to establish is whether it closes on Mondays. This page therefore does not say it does and does not say it does not, which is why there is no Mondays figure in the bar above.
  • Check nordatlantens.dk before a Monday visit. It is a ten-minute walk from the metro rather than a day trip, so the cost of being wrong is small — but it is still a walk.
Treat it as an hour inside a Christianshavn walk
  • Two rooms and about an hour is the honest scale of it. Going expecting a large museum is the way to be disappointed.
  • The Church of Our Saviour spire is a few minutes away and is on the same card, which makes the pair a natural half-day.
  • Strandgade 91, on the Christianshavn waterfront, ten minutes on foot from the metro.
Getting there

How to get to North Atlantic House

Strandgade, on the Christianshavn side of the harbour. Ten minutes from the metro, and entry is on both cards even though the journey is not.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Metro M1 or M2 to Christianshavn, then about ten minutes on foot. The fare is covered.
✓ Harbour buses stop on the same waterfront and are covered on Discover.
✓ About 25 minutes on foot from Copenhagen Central, across the harbour.
✓ From the airport — M2 direct to Christianshavn, about 15 minutes and covered.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✓ Entry is included on the Hop card — the venue is covered by both.
✓ The hop-on hop-off routes serve Christianshavn, so the venue is reachable on that card.
✗ The metro and harbour buses are not covered on the Hop card, so an airport arrival is a separate ticket.
The Christianshavn side of the harbour
  • The Church of Our Saviour is a few minutes inland, with 400 steps up the corkscrew spire.
  • Copenhagen Contemporary is further out at Refshaleøen on bus 2A, in a former welding hall.
  • The Black Diamond is straight across the water on Slotsholmen, and its exhibitions are on both cards.
Plan the rest of the day

Common questions

North Atlantic House — card FAQ

Is North Atlantic House included with the Copenhagen Card?

Entry is included on both the Discover and Hop cards, covering both exhibition rooms. The venue does not publish an admission price and the card issuer lists opening information only, so this page states no figure. Concerts and film evenings are separate events.

Is North Atlantic House open on Mondays?

The card issuer states North Atlantic House is open all year, but the Monday rule is not published anywhere we can check, so this page does not claim it either way. Check nordatlantens.dk before making a Monday visit.

Do I need to book North Atlantic House in advance with the Copenhagen Card?

Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in. Concerts, films and talks on selected evenings are separate events and are not part of that.

Can I visit North Atlantic House twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. The programme changes between Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, so a later trip finds a different exhibition rather than the same one.

How do I get into North Atlantic House with the Copenhagen Card?

Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
