For many years Vesterbro was known as the rough and naughty neighbourhood. Istedgade was synonymous with porn, prostitution and pushers – and not a place for decent citizens to visit. Today Vesterbro still has got its edge. Promoted the most trendy, leading and creative in Copenhagen, Vesterbro is where cafés and fashion shops literally mushroom.
This applies especially to the western part of Istedgade and the quarter around Enghaveplads with its swarm of young and beautiful people.
Our guided tour through Vesterbro will show you the different faces of the quarter: the relaxed, laid-back, the ethnic, rough and the trendsetting. The junctions of this route consist of carefully chosen shops, cafés, streets and urban hangouts. In addition we would like to tell about our own experiences as former residents on Vesterbro. Who are the residents of today, and how the neighbourhood has changed over the years.
On our way we especially promise that you will get the feel of this quarter and it´s atmosphere and style. As extra profits we shall of course share our knowledge of Copenhagen with you in order to provide you with a decent knowledge of the best eating places of the city, the hottest bars -and cosiest cafés.
