The Vesterbro district of Copenhagen is one of the trendiest and most interesting suburbs in the Danish capital. Whilst locals have been flocking here in their droves over the last decade, thanks to it developing into the cheapest central suburb in town, Vesterbro is also emerging as the hub of Copenhagen’s vibrant nightlife and the ideal holiday bay for visiting tourists. The newest addition to the clubbing scene? Well, that would be the Meatpacking District, the most exciting nook to come out of Vesterbro. Funky clubs, casual pubs and insanely busy techno-meccas are springing up on every nook of Vesterbro, making this by far the most sought-after address for a brilliantly fun, cocktail-filled night out in Copenhagen. Don’t fancy a long walk home after a big night out? Then book your holiday rental accommodation in Vesterbro and make the following four ultra-hip clubs your next-door neighbours.

If it were to be compared to a drink, one would say Copenhagen is the cocktail of choice in Europe.
