One place that a big majority or people do not know or do not visit is the neighbourhood called Vesterbro. This neighbourhood is west of Copenhagen and it is the must location for the youth!

You must be asking, “What’s so different about this neighbourhood?”

Vesterbro does not offer any important grand monuments and it is also not know for a place any important legacy’s visited, but rather it is known for its urban vitality, which are, the cafes, bars and the hip mix of people.

Vesterbro Street 

Who would imagine that this neighbourhood was once known as the home of prostitutes and drug addicts? But this is not the case anymore.

Now Vesterbro is a place where underground art galleries and open studios are located at, such as the art gallery V1.

And you might be thinking yes but what if I want to do some shopping? Well, If you are only interested in international high end brands or brand chains then this place is not suitable for you.

Instead, the neighbourhood is offering a number of designer outlets which are cheaper than in the city centre of Copenhagen. Also a place called Designer Zoo offers designer garments of Danish designers.

If you are interested in hip clothing? Then stores like Rockahula and Donn Ya Doll are the right place to be.

Did you know also that Copenhagen has his own “Little Paris”?

On the border with Frederiksberg there is a street called Vaernedamsvej and it has some small classy stores for clothing and food specialities.
