THE CITY
Sean Pavone/Shutterstock.com
Copenhagen is an ancient city, full of beautiful
historic buildings and many points of interest.
The ramparts and walls surrounding the centre
of the city were demolished around the middle of
the nineteenth century. This allowed the city to
assume the peculiar architectural structure
characterised by narrow stone streets that lead
directly to the city centre and which are the
background to numerous shops and bars.
In recent years, Copenhagen's historic
architectural heritage has been enriched with
modern and contemporary buildings. An example
of these are those designed by the Danish and
French architects Bjarke Ingels and Jean Nouvel,
who gave a new touch to the old-fashioned style
of the city. At the same time, many districts have
been modernised as well.
Copenhagen is also known for its relaxing
atmosphere. Citizens go to work by bike, they
like to go out with their families, spend an
afternoon in one of the city's many parks in the
company of their friends, take a bath in one of
the many pools in the harbour during the
warmer months and take an active part in the
events that animate the city throughout the year.
Inner CityThe Inner City can be
dened as the metropolis
of Copenhagen, which
encompasses the oldest
district of Copenhagen
with pretty narrow
streets and original houses. The city centre is full
of shops, bars, restaurants, parks, numerous
canals and of course the Nyhavn, the wonderful
harbour of Copenhagen. The main street of Inner
City is Strøget, which goes from the town hall
square to Kongens Nytorv. Strøget is always
frequented by a myriad of street performers, but
do not forget to take a trip to the pretty side
streets like Frederiksberggade, Nygade and
Vimmelskaftet.

Østerbro
Broad boulevards,
impressive parks,
countless cafes and
innovating design shops.
The neighborhood of
Østerbro, which is also
called Copenhagen Ø, is somewhat posh and
extravagant but at the same time completely
down to earth.
Østerbro is located north of Copenhagen city
centre, right nearby the old city gate Østerport.
Shop design items at Normann Copenhagen, sip
a glass of wine at Panzon or relax and rest in
Fælledparken – Denmark’s largest public park.

FrederiksbergFrederiksberg is a
fashionable part of
Copenhagen with
excellent shopping
opportunities and green
areas. It is considered to
be posher than Nørrebro and Vesterbro and
people living here are usually slightly older and
more established. The main street through
Frederiksberg is Gammel Kongevej - ‘Old Kings
Road’. Shopping is great in this neighbourhood
with a variety of clothing shops as well as sushi
restaurants, cafes and delicacy shops. The same
is true for Værnedamsvej, which is seen as cosy,
yet cool. Frederiksberg is also a green oasis with
Frederiksberg Gardens, the romantic garden of
the Faculty of Life Sciences and Søndermarken.

Vesterbro
Once Vesterbro was
mostly known for its
infamous red light
district. Today it is one of
the most trendy places in
all of Copenhagen. The
district is situated within walking distance from
the city centre, right behind the Central Station.
It is one of the most fashionable places in the
city - not just to live, but to shop, eat, drink and
have an amazing and memorable night out.

NørrebroVibrant, colourful, casual
and young at heart,
Nørrebro is a magic area
of Copenhagen. Here you
will nd trendy bars and
fashionable designer
shops next door to dodgy dive bars and cheap
kebab places. If you are into small design shops
head for Elmegade or Jægersborggade, and if
you like antiques Ravnsborggade is the place for
you to head to. At Sankt Hans Torv and the
streets around it you have plenty of choices for
dinner and drinks. And at Assistens Cemetery
you can visit the grave of famous Danes, such as
the famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian
Andersen or philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, or
get inspired by the Nørrebro citizens and relax in
the park.

Freetown ChristianiaThis city within a city is a
self-proclaimed
autonomous community,
home to about 800
permanent residents who
took over this abandoned
military complex in 1971. The “Freetown” they
created was controversial at rst, but with its
heavy emphasis on tolerance, community and
ecology it eventually gained recognition from the
government and has since endured as a “social
experiment.” The infamous “Pusher Street” can
be a little intimidating, but beyond it the
beautiful homes and gardens of the alternative
and free-thinking residents lie.

CAFES

Curious about Danish cakes and pastry? When in
Denmark you have to try a real Danish – or
wienerbrød, as it is called in Denmark – they are
sold in many varieties at bakeries and cafes all
over. The oldest patisserie in Copenhagen is La
Glace which was founded in 1870. Amongst
many mouth-watering cakes and pastries you will
nd the classic Sports Cake, which mainly
consists of whipped cream.
There is nothing better than to grab an ice cream
cone to go on a nice day. Denmark is famous for
its dairy products and you can understand why
when you try local ice cream. Did you know that

The neighborhood of
Vesterbro isn't only home
to Copenhagen's red light
district and some of the
best eateries in town, but

shops and clothing boutiques that will surely

Latin Quarter
Copenhagen's very own
Latin Quarter is made up
of 4 main streets
(Studiestræde, Skt.
Pedersstræde,
Larsbjørnsstræde and
Teglgårdsstræde), and is known for the variety
of creative avantgarde boutiques, as well as
second-hand shops and food take-outs. The
proximity to the University means the area is
always ooded with hip, in-style young students.
