Europe Denmark Copenhagen The City Østerbro

Overview

Østerbro

The guide was updated: 2024-11-18

Broad boulevards, countless cafés, trendy restaurants, and innovative design shops. The neighbourhood 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, near the old city gate Østerport. Shop design items at WAUW, have a craft beer at Søernes Ølbar, or relax and rest in Fælledparken – Denmark’s largest public park.

Inner City (Indre By)

Inner City (Indre By)

The Inner City can be defined as the metropolis of Copenhagen, which encompasses the city's oldest district with pretty narrow streets and original houses. The city centre is full of shops, bars, restaurants, parks, numerous canals and, of course, Nyhavn, the colourful 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.

Frederiksberg

Frederiksberg

Frederiksberg is a fashionable part of Copenhagen with excellent shopping opportunities, green areas, as well as plenty of restaurants, cafés and delicacy shops. It's 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’. Værnedamsvej, which is seen as cosy, yet cool, is a small and bustling shopping street, linking Vesterbrogade and the beginning of Frederiksberg Allé with Gammel Kongevej. Frederiksberg is also a green oasis with Frederiksberg Gardens, the romantic garden of the Faculty of Life Sciences and Søndermarken.

Vesterbro

Vesterbro

Once Vesterbro was mostly known for its infamous red light district. Today, it's 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's 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.

Nørrebro

Nørrebro

Vibrant, colourful, casual and young at heart, Nørrebro is a magic area of Copenhagen. Here you'll find trendy bars and fashionable designer shops next door to dodgy dive bars and cheap kebab places. If you're 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. At Assistens Cemetery, you can visit the graves of famous Danes, such as the famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen or philosopher Søren Kierkegaard.
