Oluf-Samson-Gang

Top choice


Once a notorious thoroughfare known by sailors for its brothels, cobblestoned Oluf-Samson-Gang has been transformed into one of the prettiest streets in town. Its colourful facades have been repainted and a number of artist and craft studios have moved in. It's a gorgeous spot.
