It's our second back yard, and everyone who lives in the area feel like that. So you might experience private birthdays, where people decorate the trees and some times people get married there. Most of the time locals just chill and have dinner on a blanket. We love it <3

Vesterbro is a buzzing area, full of cafees and people wearing sunclasses hanging out. Lots of shops with clothes, things and furniture (Danish design). Use to be a working class area, but the appartments are so expensive now, that only middleclass and rich people can afford them.

Newly build buildings, areas where you can take a swim, a rooftop where you can work out - and if you bike all the way to Fiskerihavnen/Skudehavnen you will find a small hidden harbor with homemade small houses and a chilled atmosphere.

This area is upcoming, lots of trendy cafes, start ups, restaurants etc. This is what visitcopenhagen writes: “A culturally diverse neighbourhood off the beaten track and a place to experience an authentic and local part of Copenhagen. To get really under the skin of the architecture and urban development in this area, we highly recommend going on a guided tour by bike with beCopenhagen.”
