Is the Partout pass worth it, or is one day enough to see the whole fair? Planning a weekend trip to Copenhagen next August.
It depends on your pace. With around 80–90 galleries plus the Sculpture Garden and talks, many visitors manage it in one long day, while the Partout pass (DKK 250 in 2026, versus DKK 150 for a single day) lets you come back Friday to Sunday for talks or a second look. 2027 dates aren’t announced yet, so check the official visitor page, and see other art events and opportunities in Denmark on ArtInfoland.
