Copenhagen Light Festival opened tonight and continues through until the 25 February.

There are 79 light works that have been set up in streets, squares and parks across the city and seven events that include an opening concert and a family run at night with lights. The works vary enormously in form from laser displays through floodlighting to sculptures in light and many of the installations include sound.

Details of locations and, where relevant, times are set out in the online programme but, In general, lights will be switched on at 5pm.

This year, for the first time, there will be guided walks but, if you want to explore independently, there is an app for the festival that can be downloaded and that includes an interactive map with information about each installation and about the artists.
