Pretty well known "free-area", originally founded by hippies back in the 70's. One of the biggest tourist attractions in Copenhagen. Usually a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Free concerts on sundays

Copenhagen Central station. If you are travelling to or from Copenhagen by train, you'll most likely be going here. As one of the oldest amusement park it's worth a visit. You don't need to try any rides for a nice experience.

Want to see a different side of Copenhagen? Go underground to Copenhagen's old water reservoir. It's now an artspace where art is illuminated among columns, mirrors and labyrinthine walkways. A must see!

A great way to experience a lot of the "New Nordic" kitchen. A food market primarily "high-end" food, and a great place if you want to buy some local danish specialties.

The harbor is clean enough for you to bathe in it. There is the closed bath (which is free) with life guards, or you can walk 50 meters more, and just jump in the harbor. Also great for chillaxing

Cozy brown bar (smoking is allowed). Good atmosphere and nice people! From the sheriff badge out front to the narrow, winding, graffiti-filled labyrinth inside, McKluud leaves little to subtlety. Occupying a busy corner in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro neighborhood, McKluud takes the American Old West theme to its dive bar extreme, a winding network of aging wood surrounding and separating equally aging and smoke-soaked tables and chairs.

The oldest gay bar in Copenhagen and one of oldest in all of Europe. Centralhjørnet has been going since 1917.
Excellent shows are held every Thursday and Sunday (between October and April). Outdoor seating available during the summer months.

Hard hitting techno club, with the same door policy and picker (dress in black or extravagant) as the infamous Berghain in Berlin. It's a anything goes club, with a sexroom and of course no photos.

The old industrial warehouses of the Meatpacking District have been transformed into a haven for foodies, with all manner of inventive bars and restaurants now pulling in gourmet travellers. Hip brewpub Warpigs and the seafood at Kødbyens Fiskebar are two good reasons why.
Little evidence remains today of the seedy nightlife that once gave Vesterbro such a sordid reputation. As the drug dealers and prostitutes moved out, students, artists and other creatives moved in, turning this formerly industrial district into Copenhagen’s new epicentre of cool.

Shop-hopping is an excellent way to escape the unpredictable Danish weather. Danish design fans are well served by a wander along Istedgade, the main shopping street, and if you do pick up some new threads, wear them to a show at Vega, the coolest gig venue in town.
It's also a great place to find a midnight snack, after a night out :)
