Vesterbro has trendy cafés, nature areas and a busy nightlife. This characteristic area in Copenhagen has everything that the creative soul could wish for.

Find your inner (or outer) hipster and walk through the streets that have that very relaxing Vesterbro feeling. Take a holiday to Vesterbro and you can experience gourmet food, speciality shops and trendy nightclubs.

Vesterbro used to be Copenhagen’s red light district with prostitutes and drug dealers on every street corner. But a couple of sex shops, Vesterbro has been cleaned up, and is now one of Copenhagen's most popular places to live. If you walk along Sønder Boulevard or Vesterbrogade to Vesterbro Torv, you will find cosy green areas. The area also has local shops with a large selection of speciality beers, organic produce and some of the best restaurants in town.

If you are looking for an unforgettable night during your holiday, then Kødbyen is the place to be! Here there are nightclubs, concert venues and art galleries right beside the slaughterhouses that are located here. For the alternative experience, you must visit WAREHOUSE9 – a combined theatre, gallery and concert venue that experiments with art and nightclub vibes. Every month WAREHOUSE9 also hosts the transgender event, T-Lounge.

On your journey to Vesterbro, you must visit one of the most popular venues in the country, VEGA, which hosts approximately 250 concerts a year. If you want to go behind the scenes, VEGA has several tours on offer where you’ll be able to learn more about the history and the architecture of the area.

When you have had enough of going out, then Kalvebod Bølge in the Kalvebod Brygges harbour area is the perfect place to relax. The urban baths aim to bring the city life closer to the harbour through the many activities on the water.

When you travel to Vesterbro, go to Copenhagen's main railway station where you can catch a train to most Danish towns. You can then explore Vesterbro on two wheels, as Copenhagen has a number of very well-developed cycle lanes.

Experience the smart, urban and cosy Vesterbro on a weekend break, where you can combine alternative experiences with gourmet food and that creative city lifestyle.
