Drinks & Nightlife
A classic small, crowded and smoke filled danish pub for a very late beer or five. There has always been a bar on this location (the legend tells us since 1736!). It used to be a mariner's pub, but now it has a mixed crowd of old locals, youngsters from the nearby high school and everyone in between.

A bohemian pianobar with a lot of history, a great atmosphere and a friendly staff. It originally opened in 1913 and today it's like stepping directly into a 1920's establishment in Berlin or Paris... It's crowd is predominantly gay - but heteros are more than welcome!

Cinemateket is in the heart of Copenhagen, between Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport Station, and is part of the Danish Film Institute. The architecturally interesting building contains two cinema theaters, a library, a videoteque, a bookshop and a café, all in a fashionable atmosphere. The repertoire varies with different themes each month; almost all genres are represented at some time throughout the year. Each film is screened twice or thrice a month, and the prices are relatively low per ticket. Some short flicks and children's films are free, but you normally have to order the tickets in advance. Cinemateket is the only cinema in Copenhagen with such a varied repertoire, and is an especially fun place to bring children on a rainy day.

Close to the square Christanshavns Torv, there is a very special outdoor café, where you can sit right next to the canal’s waterline and enjoy the special feeling of Christianshavn.
Since 1896 there has been a boat rental at Christianshavn. One hundred years later an adjoining café opened with good food, coffee and drinks.
In December the café sells Christmas trees and serves one of Copenhagen's best gløgg - a warm winter drink made of wine, snaps, spices and served with almonds and raisins.
The café also hosts evening concerts. Please se the Chritianshavns Bådudlejning og Cafés own website for more information.

Near the Southern part of the Copenhagen harbor in Sydhavn is Sydhavnstippen. At Sydhavnstippen you can go for a stroll in grassy nature while walking along the water. Home to sheep and alpacas that roam freely throughout the green areas amongst the visitors, the park allows for a calm countryside feeling within the city.
