The city is incredibly safe and compact, and there are loads of things to do in each neighborhood. You’ll find amazing bakeries, cafes, restaurants, museums, parks, and more! But depending on what you’re interested in and plan to do, some areas are better to stay than others. So, here’s the ultimate travel guide to where to stay in Copenhagen for your trip!

Overview of Copenhagen Neighborhoods

Before we dive into each neighborhood and its key attractions and selling points, here’s an overview of Copenhagen’s neighborhoods:

Now that you have an overview of good areas to stay in Copenhagen, here’s all you need to know to decide which neighborhood is best for you.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Trendy Shops and Eateries: Nørrebro

This is one of my favorite areas of Copenhagen, and it’s popular with tourists and locals! Nørrebro is a trendy, hip neighborhood known for its clothing shops, boutiques, cafes, and younger atmosphere. There’s a cool new restaurant or bar popping up every other week! So Nørrebro definitely has a cool older sister vibe to it.

Nørrebro is a great choice if you want to stay somewhere with cute cafes, great secondhand clothing stores, trendy restaurants, and a relaxing atmosphere. People from Nørrebro know they’re a part of a cool community and are proud to live there. There are tons of independent stores and multicultural eateries, too! It’s a crowd favorite amongst young people and has many places to sit, socialize, or relax.

Key Attractions

• Jægersborggade: A trendy street packed with independent shops, gourmet restaurants, cozy cafes, and clothing stores. It’s a great place to experience the local vibe of Nørrebro.
• Norrebrogade: The main street runs through Nørrebro, connecting the Assistens Cemetery and Superkilen Park. You’ll find all the eateries and cafes along this street.
• Assistens Cemetery: This beautiful green space is popular for picnics and strolls. It’s also the final resting place of famous Danes like Hans Christian Andersen, and you can actually visit his tombstone!
• Superkilen Park: A unique urban park with statues and art from around the world. It’s a colorful and artistic space with cool urban design.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Nørrebro

• Pros:
  • Multicultural Atmosphere: It’s Copenhagen’s most diverse neighborhood offering any type of food you’re craving, from Mexican, Turkish, Asian, German, and more.
  • Independent Stores: Nørrebro has some of the coolest independent fashion and shops that add to its reputation as a hip neighborhood.
  • Chill Nightlife: Plenty of pubs, cocktail bars, clubs, and live music venues to enjoy on a weekday or weekend night! You’ll see tons of people having a beer with friends outside on a nice day after work.
  • Trendy, Cool Vibe
  • Great Cafes + Eateries
• Cons:
  • Not as Central: Although well-connected by public transport, it’s slightly further from major tourist attractions and the city center.
  • Noise and Crowds: The lively atmosphere can mean it’s noisy, especially on weekends and during festivals.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Peace and Convenience: Østerbro

Østerbro is a tranquil and residential area away northeast of the city center but still close to many of Copenhagen’s attractions. This area is ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking for a quieter stay without sacrificing convenience. I stayed in this neighborhood for a month and absolutely loved it. You get a local experience while still being near the city center.

It’s a more affluent neighborhood with nice houses in some areas and great apartments. You’ll see lots of babies and families walking around as well. You have access to the city, parks, and beach making it a prime location for a balanced lifestyle. It’s one of Copenhagen’s greenest neighborhoods, too!

Key Attractions

• Fælledparken: Copenhagen’s largest park, perfect for picnics, jogging, biking, or a leisurely walk. The park also hosts various events and festivals throughout the year.
• Juno the Bakery: This ultra-popular bakery is known to have the best cardamom buns in Copenhagen and it’s probably the most popular bakery in the city.
• Svanemøllestranden: A popular sandy beach with a pier and clean waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing in the summer.
• Osterbrogade: The main shopping street in Østerbro, lined with a variety of shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. You’ll find some of the best cafes and fashion boutiques there!
• Nordhavn: This neighborhood is kind of an extension of Osterbro, and while it is its own area, Osterbro is right next to it, making it easy to bike around Nordhavn and come back to Osterbro.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Østerbro

• Pros:
  • Peaceful and Family-Friendly: A quiet, safe, and green area, ideal for those looking for a relaxed environment.
  • Proximity to Parks and Waterfront: Easy access to beautiful parks and the waterfront.
  • Elegant and Upscale: Known for its stylish boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and chic cafes.
  • Good Public Transport Links: Well-connected to the city center and other parts of Copenhagen by bus and metro.
  • Less Touristy (which could be a con if that’s what you’re looking for)
• Cons:
  • Less Nightlife: Østerbro is quieter in the evenings and you’ll have to travel to other parts of Copenhagen for vibrant nightlife.
  • Higher Costs: As an upscale neighborhood, accommodation and dining options can be more expensive than other areas.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Convenience: Indre By

Indre By is Copenhagen’s city center, and it is the most popular area for tourists to stay in. You’ll find many of the city’s most famous landmarks, shopping streets, and cultural institutions in Indre By, including Stroget, Tivoli, and more. It’s perfect for you if you want to see popular attractions quickly and want convenience during your stay.

However, I think there are better places to stay in Copenhagen. Indre By, while central, is a very touristy area and you won’t get a local experience staying here. It’s also quite compact and because of its heavy foot traffic, the streets get dirtier than other neighborhood streets. But if you have a short trip or just want the convenience of walking to central locations, Indre By is for you.

Key Attractions

• Nyhavn: The iconic 17th-century waterfront, lined with brightly colored townhouses, bars, cafes, and restaurants. It’s the Copenhagen photo spot (you’ll see it on every souvenir) and perfect for a relaxing wine or beer on the water.
• Strøget: One of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, Strøget is a shopping paradise with chain retailers, boutiques, secondhand stores, cafes, and more. It’s where you can get anything and everything.
• Tivoli Gardens: The world’s second-oldest amusement park! Tivoli is a must-visit for its charming rides, beautiful gardens, and magical evening lights.
• Rosenborg Castle: A stunning Renaissance castle that houses the Danish crown jewels and has a beautiful rose garden in the spring.
• Museums: Indre By is where all the museums are! Including the National Museum of Denmark, Design Museum, and Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (which you can visit for free sometimes)!

Pros and Cons of Staying in Indre By

• Pros:
  • Central Location: Easy access to major attractions, dining, and shopping options.
  • Historic Charm: Rich in history and culture, with beautiful architecture and cobblestone streets.
  • Easy Airport Access: You’re near all the main transport hubs that connect to CPH airport.
  • Convenience
• Cons:
  • Higher Prices: Accommodation and dining can be more expensive in the city center.
  • Crowds: It’s a popular tourist area and there are people at all hours of the day.
  • Noise: Indre By can get noisy at night.
  • Density: The streets are narrower than other neighborhoods, so there’s less space to walk.
  • Less Clean

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Nightlife: Vesterbro

Vesterbro is one of Copenhagen’s most vibrant and trendy neighborhoods. Historically a working-class district and Copenhagen’s red-light district, it has significantly transformed (or gentrified?) over the past few decades and now has hip cafes, fashion boutiques, and a buzzing nightlife. Located just southwest of the city center, Vesterbro is known for its casual hip atmosphere and being very down to earth.

Think Norrebro but with more zany, down-to-earth energy. It’s the place to go for nightlife or a coffee without the frills. Some would say it’s gritty, and you’ll find some of the best cocktails and restaurants in this area. There are many underground clubs here, which adds to its cool vibe.

Key Attractions

• Meatpacking District (Kødbyen): A former meat-packing area now home to a variety of trendy restaurants, bars, art galleries, and nightclubs. It’s a hotspot for foodies and night owls with iconic pubs and restaurants.
• Istedgade: Vesterbro’s lively main street has shops, boutiques, and cafes, which used to be the red light district of Copenhagen.
• Kaktus Towers: These iconic (and controversial) apartment buildings are a modern architectural marvel and one of my favorite modern architectural locations in Copenhagen.
• Værnedamsvej: Also known as “Little Paris,” this charming street is lined with French-inspired cafes, gourmet food shops, and stylish boutiques that will transport you to France.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Vesterbro

• Pros:
  • Best Nightlife: Copenhagen’s best spot for nightlife, with many bars, nightclubs, and live music venues.
  • Dining Scene: Great place to eat at some of Copenhagen’s best restaurants, like the iconic Warpigs Brewpub!
  • Close to City Center: The closest neighborhood to the city center so you won’t have to commute far.
  • Close to Copenhagen Central Station: Copenhagen Central Station is in Vesterbro! It’s super convenient if you plan to take day trips to other cities in Denmark or even neighboring countries.
• Cons:
  • Noisy and Busy: The nightlife attracts many people, meaning it can be noisy, especially at night and on weekends.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Atmosphere: Christianshavn

Directly east of the city center is Christianshavn, which is probably the most architecturally diverse neighborhood in the city. On one hand, you have Freetown Christiania, which is a self-governing area where people live an alternative lifestyle, with self-made shacks and graffiti on the walls. On the other, you have picturesque canals that look straight out of Amsterdam, cobblestone streets, and colorful townhouses. Then, you’ll also find modern architecture like the Circle Bridge and cool houseboats along the canal.

Because of the mix of different types of architecture and vibes, Christianshavn has a lively cultural scene. The dining scene is particularly excellent here, too. The atmosphere is so romantic, try taking a walk around in the evening after a meal! Especially because of all the warm, decorative lamps on the streets.

Key Attractions

• Church of Our Saviour: Probably the most famous church in Copenhagen for its stunning baroque architecture and spiral tower, which you can climb for amazing views.
• Freetown Christiania: Hippies in the 1970s created an autonomous community to break away from traditional norms, and now, they live alternative lifestyles and produce colorful street art. I personally don’t think it’s that enjoyable to visit, but it’s one of the most famous areas in Copenhagen!
• Christianshavns Kanal: I love walking or biking up and down the canals and looking at all the marvelous houseboats that park along the water. Some of them are so beautifully architected, and it makes me want to live in one.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Christianshavn

• Pros:
  • Scenic and Historic: The canals, cobblestone streets, and historic architecture provide a picturesque and romantic setting.
  • Bohemian Vibe: Freetown Christiania and the many creative offices give the neighborhood a unique and artistic vibe.
  • Proximity to City Center: It’s close to the city center, making it easy to access major attractions while enjoying a different environment.
  • Dining Scene: Home to top-tier restaurants and cozy cafes, perfect for food lovers.
  • Cozy, Romantic Atmosphere
• Cons:
  • Tourist Crowds: Christiania and the Church of Our Savior attract large numbers of tourists, so the area gets crowded fast, especially during summer.
  • Limited Nightlife: While there are some bars and cafes, the nightlife is generally more tame compared to areas like Vesterbro.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Nature and Residential: Amager Vest

Amager Vest is a more residential part of Copenhagen and known for its huge nature reserve. It’s on the western part of Amager island, where the Copenhagen Airport is located. Because Amager Vest is on another island, it feels like a less central neighborhood even though it’s quite well connected by the metro. Honestly, there’s not much to do on Amager other than eat, drink, walk, and bike—it’s very calm and peaceful.

If you’re looking for a more residential area with accessible nature, Amager Vest is a good choice for you. It’s also home to Copenhagen University’s South Campus, so you’ll see tons of students everywhere.

Key Attractions

• Amager Fælled: This 200+ hectare nature reserve has meadows, forests, lakes, streams, and trails for walking and biking. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy a walk in nature.
• Islands Brygge: A lively waterfront facing Indre By that has parks, cafes, restaurants, and a harbor bath. It’s a social hub where students and locals come for a cup of coffee or a nice walk along the water.
• Amager Strandpark: A sandy beach park in Amager East that’s popular for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. It’s one of the better areas for the beach!
• Orestad: This sliver of area in the south of Amager Vest has some of the coolest modern architecture concentrated along Orestad Blvd. There are a couple of apartment and residential buildings with incredible architecture, including the 8Tallet, Orestad Plejecenter, VM Houses, and AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Amager Vest

• Pros:
  • Natural Beauty: Close proximity to Amager Fælled and Strandpark for all the swimming, walking, biking, and outdoor activities.
  • Quiet and Residential: It’s quiet, and the residential atmosphere is perfect for those looking for a calm area with parks, beaches, and green spaces.
  • Close to the Airport: It’s on the same island as Copenhagen Airport, which is accessible via the metro and bus.
• Cons:
  • Distance from Central Attractions: While well-connected, Amager Vest is a bit further from the main tourist attractions in the city center.
  • Fewer Tourist Attractions: More of a residential area than touristy, so there are fewer “exciting” things to do.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Elegane and Peace: Frederiksberg

Though it is an independent municipality, Frederiksberg is technically a part of Copenhagen. It’s one of the most affluent areas of Copenhagen and is described as “leafy” because of its trees and parks. They have grand streets with beautiful houses and independent boutiques, making it one of my favorite areas to walk and shop around (even though I can’t afford anything there, haha).

It’s also more residential but upscale. If Amager Vest is like the spunky younger sister, Fredriksberg is like the rich auntie with good taste. The area is refined, sophisticated, and tranquil.

Key Attractions

• Frederiksberg Gardens (Frederiksberg Have): One of the largest and most beautiful parks in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg Gardens is a crowd favorite for picnics, relaxing, and walking because of its large lawns, serene lakes, and winding paths.
• Frederiksberg Palace: Overlooking Frederiksberg Gardens, this historic palace is gigantic and sits on a hill in the garden. You can enter for a fee.
• Copenhagen Zoo: Located on the edge of Frederiksberg Gardens. You can see the elephants for free at the edge where the zoo and garden meet.
• Søndermarken: Right across the Frederiksberg Gardens, this park is almost as large but more tranquil with lots of plants, walking trails, and historical monuments. It’s a local favorite.
• Falkoner Allé: One of the main streets known for its shops, bars, and cafes. It’s a cultural hotspot where you can catch a show at the Falkoner Centre or enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants.

Pros and Cons of Staying in Frederiksberg

• Pros:
  • Elegant and Tranquil: The neighborhood just screams elegance with its well-maintained parks, tree-lined streets, and magnificent homes.
  • High-Quality Amenities: You’ll find upscale shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
  • Residential: With its spacious parks, playgrounds, and family-oriented attractions like Copenhagen Zoo, Frederiksberg is ideal for people who want a slower pace of life or families.
  • Central Location: Despite its tranquil ambiance, Frederiksberg is centrally located to lots of tourist attractions.
• Cons:
  • More Expensive: As an upscale area, accommodation, shopping, and dining in Frederiksberg can be more expensive compared to other neighborhoods.
  • Less Nightlife: While there are some bars and cafes, the nightlife in Frederiksberg is generally quieter than in more central or trendy areas like Vesterbro or Nørrebro.

Other Where to Stay in Copenhagen

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for First Timers

If it’s your first time in Copenhagen, stay in Indre By (City Center). This central district places you in the heart of the city, close to major attractions like Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn, the Little Mermaid, and Strøget shopping street. It’s the most convenient—you’re within walking distance of key sights, numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops and you won’t have to worry about figuring out the metro or Copenhagen public transport.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for One Night

For a one-night stay, stay in Vesterbro or Indre By. Vesterbro is close to Central Station, and Indre By is close to Norreport or Kongens Nytorv, which are all main airport transit stations. This makes it super convenient to explore the city (which is at your doorstep) and easily commute to the airport or your next destination.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for a Weekend

Nørrebro is the best area in Copenhagen for a weekend stay. This trendy neighborhood has the cutest stores, cafes, and incredible restaurants for any cuisine you want. Spend your days exploring the secondhand and vintage shops, cafes, and restaurants and your evenings enjoying a bar or two.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen on a Budget

For budget travelers, staying in the outer suburbs is a more affordable yet comfortable experience. Areas like Tårnby and Vanløse offer lower-priced accommodations with public transport commute access to the city center. You can also try your hand at scouting for cheap accommodation near the city center via hostels or Airbnb.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen with Family

This depends on what type of family you’re bringing. If you have small kids, somewhere residential and less crowded like Fredriksberg, Østerbro, or Amager Vest might be best. If you’re coming with older family, staying somewhere convenient like Indre By or Vesterbro is best.

Where to Stay in Copenhagen for Christmas Markets

If you’re visiting Copenhagen during the holiday season, stay in Vesterbro or Indre By. Tivoli Gardens is a must-see for its enchanting Christmas market, which is probably the most famous one. You’ll also find Christmas markets at Nyhavn and Kongen Nytorv, which are in Indre By. These areas are beautifully decorated for Christmas and offer plenty of seasonal activities like ice skating and seasonal snacks like glögg (mulled wine) and Christmas beer!

Where to Visit, But Not to Stay in Copenhagen

Not everywhere in Copenhagen is good for staying. Here are two areas I think aren’t worth staying in:

Refshaleøen

This young neighborhood was once the Burmeister & Wain industrial shipyard but when they went bankrupt in 1996, the abandoned shipyard turned into a creative and culinary hub. Artists and artisans took over some of the abandoned buildings, while recreational facilities used the others.

This area has some great bakeries and dining, with the famous Michelin-starred NOMA and the Reffen Street Food Market. This area also hosts lots of festivals thanks to the large land.

Key Attractions

• Reffen Street Food Market: A popular street food market for foodies where you can also get a cocktail or two!
• CopenHill: An innovative waste-to-energy plant with a rooftop recreational area that includes hiking trails, a ski slope, and spectacular views of the city.
• Refshaleøen Beach: A small, urban beach perfect for a summer day out.
• Art and Culture: Various art galleries, studios, and performance spaces showcasing contemporary art and alternative culture, including the Contemporary Museum of Art.
• Festivals: The area hosts numerous events, including music festivals like Distortion and Copenhell.

Nordhavn

Nordhavn, or the North Harbor, is a rapidly developing waterfront district known for its modern architecture, sustainable urban design, and luxury residential buildings. This area is set to become one of Copenhagen’s most innovative urban developments, focusing on green living and sustainability. It’s great for biking and looking at all the development and cool buildings.

Key Attractions

• Modern Architecture: The Silo, UN City, and Portland Towers are just some of the cool modern architecture in this area.
• Nordhavnstippen: A hidden green space on the edge of Nordhavn where you can go wildlife spotting and admire rare views.
• Kaptajn Nalle af Thomas Dambo Statue: One of the whimsical troll sculptures created by artist Thomas Dambo, located in Nordhavn.

Why Refshaleøen and Nordhavn Are Not Ideal for Staying

While I love visiting both Refshaleøen and Nordhavn because of their unique attractions and atmospheres, they are not the most convenient or practical areas for most visitors. Here’s why:

Refshaleøen

• Limited Accommodation: Although Nordhavn has apartment buildings, many are not for commercial use. There aren’t many accommodation options in this area, either.
• Lack of Public Transport: The area is somewhat isolated, requiring a ferry or a longer bike ride or bus journey to reach from central Copenhagen. This can be inconvenient as getting here can take 20-30 minutes by bus or bike as there is no metro station here.
• Industrial Atmosphere: Despite its cultural attractions, the area retains much of its industrial feel, which might not appeal to everyone looking for a more traditional or scenic stay.

Nordhavn

• Ongoing Construction: As a rapidly developing area, Nordhavn is still very much a construction zone in many parts. This can lead to noise, dust, and an overall unfinished and undeveloped feel.
• Limited Accommodation: Although Nordhavn has apartment buildings, many are not for commercial use. There aren’t many accommodation options in this area, either.
• No Attractions: Unless you are interested in modern architecture, there are really no tourist attractions in Nordhavn.
• Distance from City Center: Nordhavn is a bit away from the city center, on the east side of Osterbro. Luckily, there are two metro stations that connect to Nordhavn from the city center, which takes about 8 minutes.

How to Get Around Copenhagen

Now that you know more about the best areas to stay in Copenhagen, here is how to get around Copenhagen!

In Copenhagen, you don’t need a car, as you can take Copenhagen public transport, walk, or bike to get around. The Copenhagen metro can pretty much get you anywhere you need and connects to all of the tourist areas. It’s easy to use and buy tickets and public transport in Copenhagen is very clean and efficient. It just might get crowded during peak commute hours.

The best way to get around Copenhagen, though, is by bike. It’s the best biking city in the world and practically every Dane bikes to get around. It’s also the most convenient way to get around, as you don’t have to wait for the metro or bus to come. You can rent a bike in Copenhagen easily using the DonkeyRepublic app!

Copenhagen Travel Tips

Here are some Copenhagen travel tips to know:

• Best Time to Visit:
  • Summer is the best time to visit Copenhagen. It’s sunny, mild-temperature, and the days are loooong.
• Leave Cash at Home:
  • You’ll seldom use cash unless you want to visit a small hotdog stand, but most places take credit cards and contactless pay (it’s sometimes preferred).
• Watch for Bike Lanes:
  • Danes are quite particular about following traffic rules, and that includes not walking in bike lanes. Make sure you’re walking where you’re supposed to be!
• Tipping: Tipping is not required!
• Layer Up:
  • Copenhagen gets quite cold, especially during fall and winter, so pack accordingly! Although, you can always buy a coat if you forget one, and it’ll be a cool souvenir.
• Free Attractions:
  • Copenhagen isn’t known for being very affordable. Luckily, there are tons of free things to do in Copenhagen if you’re on a budget!
• Cheap Eats:
  • Similarly, there are plenty of places you can go for a cheap meal in Copenhagen that isn’t McDonald’s or fast food!
