Nørrebro

Straddling the city's lakes, with Nørreport to the south and Nørrebro to the north, these are two of the most intriguing areas of the city, with several cool shopping streets (Elmegade, Blågårdsgade, Ravnsborggade and Sankt Hans Torv in Nørrebro prime among them) where you'll find independent designers and fashion, as well as some of the city's best nightlife and bars.

Nørrebro in particular, densely packed with 19th-century tenements, has a diverse ethnic mix and a younger demographic that ensures it is usually ahead of the pack when it comes to the latest nightlife and fashion trends.
