Copenhagen, Denmark
Canal-side neighborhood with good restaurants. Pleasant for daytime walks and dining. Avoid Christiania and Pusher Street, especially after dark.
Island neighborhood with canals, houseboats, and converted warehouses including Noma restaurant. The canal areas are pleasant during the day with good restaurants and the Broens Gadekøkken street food market. The issue is Freetown Christiania and Pusher Street where cannabis is sold openly. Some tourists visit during the day, but it's less safe after dark due to police raids and occasional violence. Stick to the canal areas for dining and walks. Avoid Christiania at night. Better for afternoon visits than evening activities.
