Copenhagen, Denmark
Trendy area with bars, restaurants, and an international crowd. Safe to walk around at night on main streets. Solo dining is common. Costs more than local neighborhoods.
Vesterbro used to be the red-light district and is now the trendy area with craft beer bars and natural wine spots. The Meatpacking District attracts young professionals and expats, creating a busy international scene. You'll see plenty of people eating alone or working in cafes - it's normal here. Streets stay active until midnight on weekends with people outside bars and restaurants. Stick to main streets like Vesterbrogade and Istedgade at night rather than wandering side streets. Prices are higher than local neighborhoods but lower than the tourist center.
