- Frederiksberg: Frederiksberg is a leafy neighborhood of Copenhagen, with a laidback vibe.

This is the place to be, to eat, to drink, to party, to shop and to experience what makes this Danish city great. It’s home to Copenhagen’s most famous tourist attractions, including the Little Mermaid statue, Danish Parliament, Tivoli Gardens and so much more.

Restaurants here are great, and Vesterbro is also home to the Carlsberg Brewery – a must when visiting Copenhagen! The Meatpacking District of Vesterbro is where to party up a storm. A day spent meandering around Vesterbro is a day well spent!
- Nørrebro: Like Vesterbro, Nørrebro is another trendy Copenhagen neighborhood that is a magnet for artists and creative souls. This multicultural neighborhood is famous for its hip late-night bars, array of multicultural eateries and indie, offbeat stores. Nørrebro is also home to Assistens Cemetery, where Danish writer Hans Christian Anderson is buried
- Østerbro: Upscale Østerbro is one of the most family-friendly locales in Copenhagen, and has so much to offer any visitor to the Danish capital.

The tour was very cosy and Matthias encouraged all to give their input / knowledge if they wanted. We were lucky to have two “Kopenhagen-Seniors” with us, who told wonderful stories from “behind the scenes”. Drinks were offered to fair prices and Matthias gave us really the feeling of being welcomed and gave us all the time we wanted to see things and to ask questions. Great.” – Thomas
