Vacation Rentals in Copenhagen

1. Vesterbro

The city’s arguably coolest neighbourhood is also its red light district, though nowadays you’re more likely to find boutiques selling hand-made ceramics than anything untoward. There are still relics of Vesterbro’s sordid past though, giving this area a unique character to discover when choosing where to stay in Copenhagen.

2. Kødbyen

While technically part of Vesterbro, this hip enclave is deserving of its own spotlight. Quite literally the old slaughterhouse district, The Meatpacking District is now what its New York counterpart was in the late nineties. (For anybody who missed that episode of Sex and the City, firstly tut tut and secondly what we mean by that is that it’s on the up amongst the artsy, trendsetting set.) Admire the heritage protected architecture of the neighbourhood, with repurposed factory buildings characterised by their classic terracotta flooring and white-tiled walls.

3. Nørrebro

Nørrebro is Copenhagen’s biggest nod to refreshing multiculturalism. Here, you’ll find hipsters aplenty, and with them the requisite watering holes, independent shops and international food options. If you consider yourself to be in any way young and hip (or maybe just hip then), when asking 'Where to stay in Copenhagen?' this is your answer.

4. Osterbro

While mainly an upmarket residential neighbourhood populated by young families, Osterbro can claim more than a few notable points of interest to its name. Tourists flock here en masse to check out the Little Mermaid statue, a homage to Hans Christian Anderssen’s beloved fairytale.

Visit the Louisiana MoMA Louisiana MoMA is a must for art aficionados. Located on the coast at the outskirts of Copenhagen, the museum opened its doors in 1958 to present a blend of natural beauty, lauded art and extraordinary architecture. Apart from a collection of more than 3500 artworks of all genres, Louisiana houses numerous curated exhibitions every year. When the hordes of tourists fighting over selfie opportunities become unbearable, you can head outside. There you can relax and take in the views of Sweden across the Sound, or stroll through the museum’s outdoor sculpture park.

Meet Copenhagen's little mermaid If there’s one attraction in Copenhagen you’ve already heard about, that’s probably the statue of the Little Mermaid at the Langelinie. Surprisingly enough, the innocent-looking bronze statue has sparked quite a bit of controversy among Danes. On one hand, there are those that risk an embarrassing dip in the brackish waters for a photo opportunity with the famous mermaid. On the other, Edvard Eriksen’s creation has thus far survived two decapitations, an amputation and an explosion among other imaginative acts of vandalism. An iconic landmark or a perennial martyr? Whatever the case may be, you might want to see this one while it’s still intact.

Explore the canals with a boat cruise You might not embark on an adventurous expedition in the uncharted waters of the North Sea, but Copenhagen has just enough waterways to make a boat cruise more intriguing than the tourist trap it normally is. It goes without saying that your enjoyment will depend entirely on the canal tour you choose. You might gain some interesting insight on some of the city’s unique attractions like Trekroner Fortress or cross paths with swarms of tourists on their way to the Little Mermaid. In the latter event, expect to be waved at frantically. There is no escape. Most tours depart from Nyhavn and there are plenty of options; smaller or larger boats, themed tours, sightseeing tours and party cruises. Τhe last one being, of course, the most insufferable. Tread wisely.
