On the doorstep of Copenhagen city centre, in green surroundings, is the posh Østerbro.

Vesterbro used to be known as Copenhagen’s working-class quarter and red light district.

In Denmark practically everybody rides a bike, and in 2008 bicycle-friendly Copenhagen was named the world’s first Bike City by the International Cycling Union, UCI.

Christiania was founded in 1971 when a group of hippies took over an area of abandoned military barracks and developed their own set of rules, completely independent of the Danish government.

Insider tips from the locals on where to go on Nørrebro in Copenhagen.

Christianshavn is like a town in the middle of the city of Copenhagen, surrounded by water. Christianshavn was founded in 1619 and many houses are very old and crooked.

Copenhagen’s new branding emphasizes the openness of the Danish capital. Anything goes here? Almost. See http://www.cruisingfromcopenhagen.com
