Where to stay in Copenhagen
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- Indre By (City Centre)Best for first visit
Central Copenhagen within the lakes is the most walkable base for a first visit. Tivoli Gardens, the National Museum, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and Stroget (the pedestrian shopping street) are all within a 15-minute walk of each other. Nyhavn, the photogenic canal with coloured townhouses, is 15 minutes east on foot. The neighbourhood is expensive even by Copenhagen standards, but for a 2-3 night first visit the walking radius is large enough to justify the central position.
Metro: Lines M1, M2 (Kongens Nytorv, Norreport) · Airport: Around 15-20 min by metro to the city centre · Central, very expensive, walkable
- VesterbroBest for a weekend
The neighbourhood west of the Central Station has a clear identity centred on the Kodbyen (Meatpacking District) - converted slaughterhouses housing restaurants, galleries, and cocktail bars around a concrete courtyard. Istedgade runs west from the station through the neighbourhood with a high density of good-value restaurants and cafes by Copenhagen standards. Walking distance from Tivoli and the Central Station, making it a practical short-stay base outside of the very expensive city centre.
Metro: S-Tog (Copenhagen H, Dybbølsbro) · 10 min walk to Tivoli · Meatpacking district, bars, relatively affordable
- NorrebroBest for nightlife
