Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark and forms the moderate conurbation that one million Danes call home. It is big enough to form a small Danish metropolis, with shopping, culture and nightlife par excellence, yet small enough still to feel intimate and be safe.

Nørrebro

Nørrebro is an inner district of Copenhagen and perhaps the most multicultural part of the city. A prime cross-section of contemporary Danish society is on offer here, ranging from boutique shopping to grand middle-class areas through to areas revitalised by immigration.
