Latin Quarter

This small corner of the city centre has little in common with the Latin Quarter of Paris, but gets its nickname from the presence of the university (now home to the law faculty) and the secondhand bookshops and cafes that grew up around it. The Latin Quarter stretches east from Vor Frue Plads along Store Kannikestræde and Skindergade to Købmagergade, via the pretty Gråbrødretorv (Grey Friars’ Sq, founded in the mid-17th century), with its open-air restaurants and bars, and north up Fiolstræde to Nørre Voldgade. There are several inviting cafes, bars and interesting shops here.
