Holte is situated in North Zealand in one of Denmark's most beautiful spots, with Copenhagen to the south of the town and other fantastic historic towns nearby. On a visit to Holte you will experience wealthy Danish neighbourhoods, golf courses, historical museums and excellent scenery featuring both forests and lakes.
In the late 1900s, Holte was still a small village nestled in the outstanding scenery of North Zealand. Copenhagen grew in line with industrialisation and larger settlements developed near the village, which was then called Old Holte. Today, Holte is an extremely modern provincial town with plenty of shopping opportunities, especially at Holte Midtpunkt.
For a break in Holte, you could pack your golf clubs in the car and drive over to Søllerød Golf Club. The greens are very well maintained and there is a wealth of beautiful vantage points on the hilly 18-hole course. Visit Old Holte Farm, which offers interesting exhibitions, a baroque garden and a charming orangery. You may wish to enjoy a light lunch in the café, situated in one of the main building's old extensions before continuing towards Holte Church.
To experience the city, simply jump in the car, on a bus or a train and head into Copenhagen where you can take in all the cultural offerings of the capital. Take a trip to Furesøen and partake in activities with the children. Here you can bathe at the China Bay Water Park in summer, and there are also various sailing clubs.
Once you’ve flown to Copenhagen from the UK, it’s easy to travel to Holte by car or train. There is plenty of accommodation to choose from, whether you want wellness and full board or cosy bed & breakfasts in quiet surroundings.
Holte is situated in the Municipality of Rudersdal, with Søllerød Town Hall from 1942 an architectural masterpiece that clearly reflects the style of the architects, Flemming Lassen and Arne Jacobsen. At the time of opening, the town hall was stylishly furnished with Arne Jacobsen furniture and lamps.
