Review:

Kongens Nytorv is a beautiful old square at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget, in the heart of Copenhagen. It is surrounded by some of the most prominent city institutions—the Royal Theatre, the Charlottenborg Academy and D'Angleterre Hotel . The square was built in 1908 and is surrounded by buildings on five sides.

The cobblestone pavement was added in 1670, and the statue of Christian V on a horseback was erected in 1688. It is the oldest royal sculpture in Copenhagen. There are 80 elm trees planted around the square in place of the garden that existed originally but was removed for military purposes. There is a charming old kiosk at one end of the square with an old telephone stand placed there in 1913. It is a lovely structure built in the Baroque Revival style, with hand-carved ornamentation and a copper-clad roof. It is used by a small café today, with outdoor service.
