Very active from Thursday evening to Sunday, the nightlife in Copenhagen does not start before midnight and never ends before dawn: its nightclubs range from discos for young people to quiet bars where you can listen to great music and chat quietly, also frequented from forty and fifties.
The beauty of Copenhagen shines through at night when the city, with its lights reflecting on the water, is truly enchanting. There are dozens of venues open in the center of Copenhagen: between bars, pubs, clubs and discos in Copenhagen, nothing is missing for dancing and having fun at night.
There are also numerous jazz clubs, beer halls and wine bars, as well as theatres, operas, ballets and even one of the best circuses in Europe. Jazz is very popular in Copenhagen, and it's easy to guess it, thanks to the numerous festivals organized during the summer season, at La Fontaine and the Copenhagen Jazz House . The gardens of Tivoli , on the other hand, are a large open-air stage where it is possible to admire clowns, acrobats, jugglers and trapeze artists, as well as listen to the concerts held at the Tivolis Koncertsal .
Copenhagen has the advantage of being a fairly small city where it is easy to hop from pub to pub in the course of the same evening. The liveliest nightlife is found in the districts of Vesterbro , Nørrebro and Østerbro , where the most famous discos in Copenhagen , as well as its historic center, called Strøget , where numerous jazz clubs, breweries and wine bars are located.
It is also possible to spend a pleasant evening, saving money, enjoying the city and its lights: one of the most beautiful places in Copenhagen to stroll is the Nyhavn , which, once a meeting place for sailors, is now an exclusive district in the which there are numerous restaurants and bars. Another nice neighborhood is Christianshavn , at the center of which stands Christiansborg Slot , a granite castle surrounded by canals on three sides.
If you want to visit a more extravagant place you can try the Christiania , located a short distance from the center. This area, which once housed military buildings, was occupied by the Yippies people in the early 70s and declared a "free city" on September 24, 1971. The Copenhagen authorities tried to oppose the movement but without great results. Today in the village of Christiania some very good small restaurants with cheaper prices than in the rest of Copenhagen, as the restaurateurs refuse to pay taxes.
