It is no longer a secret that Copenhagen is the perfect weekend destination, with its beguiling blend of super-cool shops, fabulous restaurants and world class museums all conveniently compressed within a pretty, pedestrian-friendly heart. In recent years, visitors have also begun to discover an alternative Copenhagen, away from the royal and historic riches of its 1,000-year-old centre. Previously down at heel parts of the city like Vesterbro and Norrebro have emerged as groovy hotspots where cutting edge fashion, food and design flourishes. So, while many are lured to Copenhagen by its rich 20th century design legacy, they are as likely to leave having sampled the best that modern Scandinavia has to offer.
