Copenhagen, Denmark
Best coffee and most diverse food in Copenhagen. Safe during the day for cafes and restaurants. Avoid after dark due to gang activity in some areas, especially around Blågårds Plads.
Nørrebro has Copenhagen's best coffee shops and the most diverse food scene - over a quarter of residents aren't Danish. Jægersborggade street packs specialty coffee roasters, independent shops, and natural wine bars into a few blocks. During the day, it's worth visiting for cafes and budget-friendly multicultural restaurants. The problem is nighttime safety. Parts of Nørrebro, especially around Blågårds Plads, have gang activity and higher crime after dark. Southern areas near the lakes are safer than northern sections. Visit during daytime for the food and coffee scene, but go elsewhere for evening activities.
