The story

Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix has run since 2001, staging around 200 vintage racing cars, from 1920s Bentleys to 1930s Bugattis, on a 2.4-kilometre street circuit through Bellahoj Park each August since 2013. Prince Joachim of Denmark is a regular participant alongside professional drivers, though the event's continued Copenhagen venue has become uncertain due to a City Hall decision on road conditions, so current status should be checked before planning a visit.

Around 200 vintage cars, from 1920s Bentleys to 1930s Bugattis and classic Jaguars, have raced through the streets of Copenhagen each August since Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix began in 2001, first at Faelledparken and, since 2013, on a purpose-transformed 2.4-kilometre street circuit through Bellahoj Park.

The city starts moving
