NØRREBRO, COPENHAGEN

Scandinavian it-girl Freja Wewer loves her hometown, Copenhagen. Let her show you around the neighbourhood of Nørrebro, bringing you to her favourite spots, such as the bar Café Viking and the record shop Insula Music.

Nestled on the border between Nørrebro and Østerbro lies a neighbourhood known on the one hand for its peace and quiet – plus young, wealthy parents – and on the other for the well-named venue Mayhem.

The crowd at Himmeriget is low-key, making this the perfect spot for a one-to-one catch-up, or for some artful and boozy concoctions to get the night started. If you get hungry you don’t have to leave the bar: just ask the bartender to order you an aubergine and burrata pizza from next door.

If you're looking to pick up some records from the realms of crunchy shoegaze, woozy psych or adrenaline-inducing local metal, this little record shop is the place to go. In fact, if you’re lucky, you might also be able to get your hands on some free jazz records.

Snack & Blues is the brainchild of Barkas, a boutique design firm in Copenhagen – and it shows in every detail, from the hazy, nostalgic lighting straight out of a grunge music video, to the relentlessly fuchsia cushions you’ll be leaning against.

Kvit hosts events and exhibition openings often, so pop by to meet some locals, listen to early Nico records and drink wine. If you want thought-provoking visual stimulation, this is the place to go.

Do you like noodles with rich, fatty pork belly? How about unconventional beer from Copenhagen’s finest craft brewery? If the union between those two things makes you nod your head in hungry approval, then look no further than Ramen to Bíiru.

The decor is a modest yellow-brown, the lighting is low under simple lamps and the drinks menu is clear and concise. Add a lo-fi soundtrack that favours Connan Mockasin’s crooning vocals and you’re bound to feel as relaxed as if you’re drinking at a friend’s house.
