Details

Wealthy area with elegant buildings and tree-lined boulevards. Værnedamsvej has specialty food shops and wine bars. Gammel Kongevej offers upscale cafes and restaurants. Frederiksberg Gardens provides green space. The crowd skews older and more established than Vesterbro - refined rather than trendy. Everything costs more, but it's very safe day and night. Quiet and sophisticated without much nightlife energy.
