Kultorvet
In the north of the Latin Quarter is Kultorvet, a rather soulless pedestrian plaza and summer gathering place with beer bars, flower stalls and produce stands. On sunny days you'll usually find impromptu entertainment here, which can range from the ever-present sounds of the Andean flute to street theatre. Consider yourself warned…

Nørreport

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.

While the rest of the city usually moves ahead of the times, Strøget seems a decade behind them, offering the same old international brand names at its posh, eastern end (designed entirely, it seems, to separate cruise-ship tourists from their money), and a scrappy mix of budget clothing stores, tourist shops and kebab houses to the west towards Rådhuspladsen.

Vesterbro
The gritty, urban neighbourhood of Vesterbro begins at the western side of Central Station with the city's most infamous thoroughfare, Istedgade. Istedgade is home to the rather depressing red light district, which begins close to Central Station with numerous sex shops and massage parlours that coexist rather unfortunately with many of the city's lower range hotels.
Since the police clamped down on official drug facilities, the junkies have taken to the streets here, which makes for a fairly shaming spectacle in a city so supposedly advanced in its social provision. However, persevere and you will find that Istedgade and Halmtorvet, to its south, are also packed with…
