Award-winning Tourist Information Centre

The Copenhagen Right Now tourist information office – developed by Kontrapunkt – is proving very popular indeed. Last year, more than 400,000 tourists visited the redesigned centre just opposite the main entrance to Tivoli Gardens.

Now, the tourist information centre has been awarded the annual prize for best branding by VisitDenmark, the official Danish board of tourism.

The prize is a recognition of the innovative and highly user-centred design concept that Kontrapunkt has created. The idea was to build a hub for the information that visitors truly long for when visiting Copenhagen – information about what happens right now.

This information is not traditionally found in travel guides or agencies. Copenhagen Right Now offers, for instance, typical profiles that guide the visitor to interesting spots, local venues and other locations off the beaten track. Tourists can discover such things as: where do the locals go for a good cup of coffee, or how does one take in Copenhagen in three hours...

Kontrapunkt is responsible for the design concept behind this new entrance point for as well as the branded space and interior of the centre.
