If you wanna get a sense of local life in Copenhagen this neighborhood is a got place to get it. For most people the heart of Copenhagen is too expensive to live in so people seek other areas of the city.

This is one of the most popular and it's rapidly also becoming one of the most trendy places for families and youngsters to hang out.

You'll find a lot of delicious restaurants, small art shops and galleries and coffee bars.

In summer the whole area is taken over by Copenhagen's youth since it’s a seafront neighborhood and young people come here to bathe, tan and sip beers along the shore.

Especially in summer you’ll get the sense of a bustling community and we personally love spending time here.

The easiest way to reach this neighborhood is by taking the metro to “Orientkaj”
