Vesterbro

A LIVELY AND HIP NEIGHBORHOOD

Experience the vibrant life at Vesterbro

Located in Vesterbro, Absalon Hotel is only 200 meters from Copenhagen Central Train Station and the Metro, and within easy walking distance of  ‘Strøget’, the world’s longest walking street.

Vesterbro, or Copenhagen V, is one of the city’s most lively and vibrant areas, with many restaurants, coffee shops and bars.

Explore the Meatpacking District, one of the few authentic meatpacking districts, where skilled butchers worked for generations in the white, grey and brown buildings.

A large open area, it’s well-known for its many restaurants with a high gastronomic standard, nightclubs, and small galleries.

Vesterbro also boasts its own charming foodie street, Værnedamsvej – a gourmet’s paradise with artisan food shops, bars, restaurants and cafés.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Vesterbro is a fantastic place to visit with children, offering a wealth of activities that can delight both young and old. One of the most popular destinations is Enghaveparken, a large green area with playgrounds and sports fields. Here, children can run around and play while parents enjoy a relaxing time in the park.

The city also caters to children, and we recommend visiting the Zoo or Tivoli. Both are among Copenhagen’s oldest attractions and always worth a visit for both young and old.
