Vesterbro - a Copenhagen hot spot

  • 16 years ago
Vesterbro used to be known as Copenhagen's working-class quarter and red light district. But in the last few years a genuine transformation has occurred in the area to the west of the Central Station. This old, run down patch of dark tenements and cheap worker's accommodation which, since the 1960s, was famous around the world for its sex industry and having more butchers per square kilometre than anywhere else in Europe, is now one of the hippest places in the city - not just to live, but to shop, eat, drink and have a great night out. Meet three Vesterbro locals - a designer, a restaurant manager and a music PR manager - as they guide you to their favourite hot spots in their part of Denmark's capital.
