Copenhagen/Christiania

 * Christiania was also a historical name of Oslo

Christiania is a self-governing "free town" established in 1971, a city within the city, on the site of a military barracks as an alternative to mainstream culture. Cannabis is sold openly on stalls, and smoked openly throughout the area, despite it being illegal in Denmark. Nonetheless it's quite safe and popular as a tourist site.

Get in
Christiania is car-free, and parking conditions outside can be hellish in good weather, so do what everyone else does and jump on a bike, if that doesn't cut it, take public transit; there are two options:

 * Take the metro to Christianshavn station, from there it is about a 6-minute walk (500 m), when you exit the metro station continue straight ahead (south) until the second intersection (there is a furniture store on the corner) turn left down (east) Prinsessegade and walk a couple of hundred meters, you won't miss it, if you have any sort of idea what you are looking for.
 * You can also bus opt for bus 9A, which stops right outside the entrance, it leaves from both Vesterport and the central station, about every 10 minutes for most of the day.

See
There are hundreds of buildings on Christiania, in all sorts of imaginative shapes, sizes and colours ranging from old army buildings dating back to the by-gone barrack days, to elaborate self-build homes. The best way to see them is just walking around sucking in the atmosphere. There is graffiti art everywhere, too. All the buildings have their own story. If you are friendly, open-minded, a bit lucky, and outside the main tourist season, you can sometimes get locals to tell you the, often amazing, stories of their particular house; otherwise the regular walking tours are a good introduction to the main sights.

Do
Christiania is something of a powerhouse in Copenhagen's cultural life, especially on the alternative scene, and there will almost always be something going on, in one of the many club and venues dotted around the central part near Pusher street, or the open air scene on Café Nemoland (listed under drink). One of the most popular activities is simply buying some weed and consuming it at a chill spot.

Buy
Christiania offers some truly unique shopping, apart from its (in)famous major export item: cannabis. If you want to bring home a really unique souvenir from Copenhagen, there are a bunch of interesting options here. In addition to stores listed below, there is also a Bazaar at the entrance to Pusher Street where you can buy everything from cannabis posters, to bongs and Jamaican clothing.

Despite efforts by the police to shut down the cannabis trade here, the selling is still going on relatively openly. The cannabis market in Copenhagen is estimated to around 1 billion kroner (€134 million) annually, and with Christiania still being the epicentre, neither is there much chance of the trade disappearing any time soon. But potential buyers should be aware that police occasionally patrol the area, and you could potentially be fined if you are caught possessing hashish. Harder drugs are however frowned upon on Christiania, and requesting them is a faux pas.

Eat
With some of the best vegetarian food you'll find anywhere in town, the residents love for everything organic, and the social responsibly (and socialism) so enshrined in the fabric of Christiana culture, that prices are kept at quite reasonable levels — especially considering the quality, Christiania is an excellent place for lunch and dinner. Often there is an open barbecue up on Pusher street dishing some yummy burgers and hot dogs.

Sleep
There is no public option for sleeping, unless you bump into someone willing to lend you a couch. The nearest hotels are in Amager or Downtown

Stay safe
This area presents a dramatic shift of mood from the rest of Copenhagen. Cannabis is being openly sold and consumed throughout Christiania, especially on Pusher Street, so be aware of that if you decide to bring children.

Some of the cannabis sellers are employed by gangs. Do not take photographs in or near Pusher Street, or you will be confronted by a local pusher or gang member, with threats of violence. None of them wants to be identified by the police, which means they have to keep a low profile. They keep an eye out for policemen or journalists working undercover. That said, if you respect the nature of this unusual environment and its rules, you should be okay. Exercise common sense by keeping an eye on your surroundings and belongings, and keep a low profile.

No matter how relaxed Christiania might seem, possession and sale of cannabis are still illegal in Denmark. While the police very rarely manage to make their way into Christiania proper, those wishing to take cannabis out with them should be careful: if you don't want to risk arrest, don't bring anything illegal outside the Free State's borders.

Respect
You won't find any rules carved in stone or typed-up in bylaws, but Christiania has been around for some time, and they don't tolerate some things. The following rules are generally accepted by everyone:

 * No cars are allowed in Christiania
 * No weapons are allowed in Christiania (this includes defensive items like pepper spray and bullet-proof vests)
 * No hard drugs are allowed in Christiania (eg opiates, cocaine, ecstasy, etc)
 * Do not take photos inside the Green Light District (Pusher Street) – this is where weed is openly sold.
 * Be respectful. Many people live in Christiania. It's open to visitors, but never forget that you're their guest.

Copenhagen/Christianshavn

Christianshavn is a district east of the inner city of Copenhagen. Once a working-class neighbourhood, today Christianshavn is a trendy part of the city with its own unique identity. people from all walks of life, live side-by-side among cool cafes, old school bodegas, fancy restaurants and charming 19th-century houses along picturesque canals. Further north, Holmen is an old naval area, that has seen a dramatic change in the past few years, with the old buildings being updated for residence, along with new dramatic architecture - fittingly a new home of the royal Danish school of architecture.

Understand
Christianshavn is an artificial island, erected in the swampy area between what is now the Inner city and the island of Amager, by King Christian the 4th, as a grand unification of his mad dash of construction projects, and his ambitions to develop Denmark into a major Naval power.

The district was built as part of the southern fortification of Copenhagen in the early 17th century. It was designed in the image of Amsterdam, with a canal cutting straight through the centre — from this point Danish merchants were to expand trade over the seven seas, a heritage that is still very visible today, with the forest of masts from the sailing ships docked along the canal, and the century-old watering holes of sailors still handing out beers and snaps to thirsty passers by.

In the early days Christianshavn was an independent city, until it was swallowed by the rapidly expanding capital, but it retains a unique atmosphere — and the people refer to themselves at Christianhavners first, and then as Copenhageners. In many ways Christianshavn is still a small town in a big city. Diversity is thriving here, and the district has managed to embrace people from all walks of life; from the alcoholic sipping beer at the corner, to the marketing yuppie, and form its own special identity stemming from this diversity.

Get in
Christianshavn and the subdistrict of Holmen are on a peninsula stretching out north through the old fortifications. Because it is virtually surrounded by water, the only access is across the Knippelsbro Bridge and the dam to Amager. It is entirely located within Zone 1 of the common ticketing system of the Metro, trains and buses. If you prefer not to pay for mass transit, it is a pleasant 10-minute walk from Strøget on Amagertorv, past the parliament, and over the Knippelsbro Bridge.

By bus
The backbone of bus transport in central Copenhagen are the A buses operated by Movia, which run every few minutes throughout the day. The S Buses are express buses that operate on longer lines, with fewer stops. Christianshavn's Square is the major stop, with stops by 3 different buslines, and interchange to the Metro.

 * 2A starts at the Tingbjerg district in the North Western part of Copenhagen, and runs through downtown, with stops at Rådhuspladen (the central square) and the central station, before it crosses the harbour, and runs through Christianshavn on Torvegade, with stops at Asiatisk Plads (Ministry of foreign affairs) and the Metro station on Christianshavn Square. It terminates at Kastrup metro station on Amager.
 * 9A starts at Glostrup Station in the suburb of Glostrup, west of Copenhagen. Run through Rødovre, Vanløse and Frederiksberg before reaching inner city with stops on Copenhagen Central Station and Christiansborg. It then crosses Knippelsbro bridge, and stops at Christianshavn Square before passing Christiania and ends at Refshaleøen.
 * 350S begins its journey in the suburb of Herlev, north west of Copenhagen. And runs through the inner city with stops on Nørreport station and Kongens Nytorv square, before it crosses Knippelsbro bridge, and stops at Christianshavn Square. It continues onwards to Amager, and terminates in picturesque Dragør south of the Airport.

By metro
The M1 or M2 metro lines stop at Christianshavn in the center of the district at Christianshavn Square. Interchange between the S-train system and the metro is provided at Nørreport station.

By boat
The water buses (Bus 901 and 902) have to stops on Holmen (Holmen nord and Opera). The water buses only sail in the summer.

You can sail in your own boat to Lynetten Marina.

The Canal-Tour Waterbus have several stops on Holmen.

By bus
Bus line 9A enters Christianshavn over the Knippels bridge, from the city centre, and turns north at Christianshavns square, along Prinsessegade - where it stops at Vor Frelsers church, and Christianias main entrance, from where it continues on the bridge across to Holmen and terminates at Refshaleøen.

By bike
Christianshavn's small, quiet streets are excellent for sightseeing on a bike, and the free citybike system covers the entire district, there are stalls at Christianshavn torv, Asiatisk Plads (near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Church of our Saviour, at the main entrance to Christiania, and the central square of Holmen.

See
Christianshavn's main attraction, is Christianshavn itself. It bears some resemblance to Amsterdam, with its quiet streets branching out from the main canal, flanked by old houses, in bright colours, some dating back to 18th century - one of the photogenic ones is Amagergade on the right side of the main street, at the end nearest the dam to Amager. And of course the green oasis of the free town Christiania, with its creative home build houses, covered in its own guide.

Do

Buy
Shopping possibilities on Christianshavn aren't as extensive as in other parts of Copenhagen, but there several small and interesting stores dotted around Christianshavn's quite side streets, and on Christiania. Groceries can be bought in the Super Brugsen on the Christianshavns Torv, Christianshavns central square where the metro station is located.

Copenhagen/Frederiksberg

Frederiksberg might look as a part of Copenhagen to a traveller. But the municipality of Frederiksberg is an enclave of 103,000 people (2022) inside the municipality of Copenhagen. The inhabitants of Frederiksberg have historically been richer than their neighbours around them. Although the rest of Copenhagen is catching up, Frederiksberg still has more parks, big villas with gardens, wide avenues, etc.

By public transport
The metro line crosses the northern part of Frederiksberg, so it is the best way to get there from Copenhagen Airport, as well as several other areas of the city served by metro, such as Amager. The following Metro stations are in Frederiksberg:

From south to north, two lines of the S-Tog cross Frederiksberg - lines C (and its express variant H) closer to the centre and line F along the eastern border of Frederiksberg. The following stations on line C are in Frederiksberg: Line F has the following stops along the border of Frederiksberg:
 * Flintholm - interchange with metro and S-Tog line F, and the only stop in Frederiksberg where the express line H stops
 * Flintholm - interchange with metro and S-Tog line F, and the only stop in Frederiksberg where the express line H stops
 * Flintholm - interchange with metro and S-Tog lines C and H
 * Flintholm - interchange with metro and S-Tog lines C and H
 * Flintholm - interchange with metro and S-Tog lines C and H

On foot
The eastern part of Frederiksberg is so close to the Copenhagen Central Station that you may simply walk.

By car
Once you've made it to Copenhagen, Frederiksberg is as difficult or easy to reach by car as any other central district. If you're used to drive in European cities, Frederiksberg shouldn't be much of a problem for you.

Finding a parking spot can take a bit of time, but is by no means impossible. Note that Fredericksberg's parking rules are different from those in the rest of Copenhagen. Some information in English can be found on the official website. Most of Frederiksberg belongs to a single large parking zone (Parkeringszone 2000) with consistent rules, but always watch out for signs imposing additional local restrictions. Within the zone, parking is free at night between 00:00 and 07:00, Saturday evenings from 17:00 on, and on Sundays and public holidays. Outside these hours, you get another 2 hours of free parking, after which you'll have to pay by the hour. Parking disks are not accepted, parking apps are preferred instead (there's a list of accepted apps on the website). You can also buy a digital ticket at one of the small green vending machines (no cash!). These are somewhat rare, though, and not very easy to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. You can find their locations on the parking information maps on the streets or on the online map (activate map layer Trafik og mobilitet). One advantage over at least some of the apps is that the machines also offer day tickets for 95 kr and week tickets for 475 kr.

As of 1 October 2023 a low emission zone has been introduced in Frederiksberg, see Driving in Denmark.

Get around
Frederiksberg has a system of bus lines (map) with frequent stops that connect to and supplement the bus system of Copenhagen. The operator is the same and so is the ticketing system.

See

Frederiksberg Have
This park is one of Copenhagen's largest, most attractive and popular green spaces, covering more than 30 hectares (75 acres) of parkland. It used to be part of the palace grounds, and is a mix of baroque and romantic era landscape garden. When the weather is nice the park is full of life, with kids playing around, occasional soccer and Frisbee games, and young couples kissing on the benches. If you walk around to explore the park, you'll find a few surprises hidden around the park. The Apias Temple, located on the hill leading up to the palace, is a Greek style temple build in 1802, the classic look combined with washed out graffiti, makes for some interesting photo opportunities, if you're a geek. Elsewhere the Chinese gazebo and bridge was constructed in 1803, and was used as a tea house for the royalty on the palace. It sits on an island surrounded by a canal, and is open for visitors every Sunday afternoon. For the kids and other playful souls there is also a park labyrinth facing Pile Allé, and in the winter there is an ice-skating rink at the main entrance (rentals available). And in the summer you can rent a boat and row around the canals. Consider ending your visit with lunch or dinner in the wonderful family gardens on the southern edge of the park.

Falkoner Allé one of Frederiksberg's main streets are well known for its many Computer stores, and is the place to go in Copenhagen if you need spare parts, a USB drive for your pictures or the like.

Værnedamsvej
Værnedams is a small, but incredibly hip, street running betweenVesterbrogade and Gammel Kongevej. It is mainly famous for, and colloquially known as, "The Food street" because of the solid number of speciality food stores and good take away stores located here. But endowed with its spot on location right on the border between the towns hippest district, Vesterbro and the most wealthy; Frederiksberg. Food is not the only thing on offer on the small street. If you are here, why not continue shopping in some of the cool fashion stores mixed in between the food stores, or buy you loved one some flowers from the impossibly cute floweriest right at the middle of the street.

Copenhagen/Indre By

Indre By (literally the inner city) is the central area and the historical heart of Copenhagen, bounded by the lakes circling the inner city and the harbour, it reflects the entire city’s extent during the reign of King Christian IV, when the town was fortified. All the neighboring districts were only founded when the king allowed construction outside the fortification in the 1850s. Referred to by locals simply as City, it is the home of most of Copenhagen's attractions, nightlife options, and hotels.

Understand
The old fortifications are still evident in the two strings of lakes circling the downtown area. The outer lakes are known to the locals simply as Søerne or The Lakes in English, and they do not only define the border to the inner city, they are also immensely popular with joggers. The inner lakes are laid out in a zigzag pattern, and are what remains of the old fortifications, if you look at a map or satellite photo this is still very visible. The remaining lakes, which used to completely circle the city, are now a string of parks; Østre Anlæg, with the National gallery, the Botanical gardens, Ørsteds Parken and finally Tivoli. The names Østerport (eastern gate), Nørreport (northern gate) and Vesterport (western gate), now associated with the stations carrying the same names, are actually the locations of the old gates leading through the fortifications, and into the city.

The heart of the district is the medieval city, shaped like a square with Rådhuspladsen, Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport as its corners. It is dotted with historic buildings, church spires and narrow streets. Many of them has been pedestrianized and is commonly known as Strøget, Copenhagen's main shopping area. But it gets much more interesting if you venture into the narrow streets and squares, since it hides some interesting shops, restaurants and old traditional bars hidden away for the curious traveler.

South of the medieval district is Slotsholmen, an artificial island, the name translates to the castle islet at the site where Copenhagen's founder, the archbishop Absalon's built first fortification in the city. The ruins thereof are visible under the present day parliament, housed in the massive Christiansborg palace. Slotsholmen is also home to a cluster of museums and the national archives. Børsen, the former stock exchange from 1640, is another striking Renaissance building located here, with its signature dragon spire, that has been taken down by fire in April 2024.

Get in

Being the center of the capital, the majority of bus, train and Metro lines run through Indre By. From the airport you can opt for either the regional Öresundstog to the Central Station or Nørreport, the Metro with stops at Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport or, if you want to take it slow and enjoy the views, the buses 2A or 5A. All of the options cost the same in terms of ticket fares - you need a three-zone ticket, as the Indre By is Zone 1, the Airport is in Zone 4 and you have to cross Zone 3 on your way.

From the DFDS and Polferries terminals take bus 26 or 20E to Kongens Nytorv.

(Hovedbanegården) lies on the border between the inner city and Vesterbro, and acts as a central hub, with all S-train, regional and intercity lines stopping here, as well as a large number of bus lines at the terminal between the station and the Tivoli Gardens. Served by the following bus lines:
 * 1A (stops at the bridge south on the tracks),
 * 2A and 5A (for Christianshavn, Amager and Kastrup Airport)
 * 6A,
 * 250S,
 * 10, 15, 26, 30, 40, 66.

station also has all S-train lines, as well as several regional lines stopping here, and acts as an interchange between these lines, and the Metro. It is also a major bus terminal for many lines going north and northwest from the city center. It lies at the northern end of the pedestrian district Strøget.
 * Bus lines: 5A, 6A, 150S, 350S, 174E, 14, 42, 43, 184, 185

is a major square at the eastern end of Strøget and where Nyhavn begins. It has a Metro station and a bus terminal.
 * Bus lines: 1A, 350S, 20E, 15, 26, 29 (stops behind the royal theater)

is Copenhagen's central square and features a large bus terminal. It is also the western access point to Strøget, and a short walk from the Central Station.
 * Bus lines: 2A, 5A, 6A, 250S, 173E, 10, 12, 14, 26, 29, 33, 67, 68, 69.

For information about where these lines go, please refer to Movia's homepage or the many signboards around the terminals.

By foot
The Indre By is easily walkable and in fact a large part of it has been pedestrianized and is devoid of both motorized and bicycle traffic.

By public transport
Public transportation is not of much use unless you want to travel between the extremities, and both the metro and the railway lines circle the Indre By with only two stations each.

By bicycle
Biking may be a good option - in case you do not want to bring your own bike or hire one permanently, you can take advantage of the city's Bycyklen bike-sharing scheme - as of 2014, Bycyklen stands in the Indre By are around the Central Station and by the Amalienborg.

Key sights

Museums and galleries
If you're into museums, consider getting the Parkmuseerne ticket, which gives you access to 6 museums in the center of Copenhagen as well as the palm house for half the price. You might also consider buying the Copenhagen Card, especially if staying multiple days.

The best place for shopping in Copenhagen, is without a doubt Strøget. A set of connected pedestrian streets in the heart of the medieval city. It is claimed to be the biggest outdoor pedestrian shopping area in the world, regardless of whether this is true or not, it is a shoppers paradise, and the historic buildings as far as the eye can see, makes it a welcome alternative to any shopping center. The really interesting shopping however, is found in the small shops, in the many narrow side streets to Strøget, colloquially known as pisserenden or the Latin quarter. If you are out for traditional souvenirs, there are several shops on the section if Strøget running between the city hall, and Amager torv.

Department stores

 * Royal shopping is a group of 3 stores, connected to each other to make it feel somewhat like a department store for exclusive Design products. Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen are the top brands of Danish design, with a rich history, while the third store, Illums bolighus, handpicks other design products. The super store takes it name from the fact that all three are purveyors to the royal Danish court.

Danish design
An option for bringing home some unique and useful souvenirs is buying furniture, lamps or industrial design from one of Copenhagen's own superstar architects and designers like Arne Jacobsen, Poul Henningsen or Børge Mortensen, who helped to turn Danish Design into a world wide brand in the first half of the 21st century; but don't expect it to be cheap, there are other options however, Kitchen accessories by Bodum and glassware by Holmegaard are some options that can be found in many stores throughout Copenhagen.

Interiors
Other options are Illums bolighus and the Danish Design Center store, both listed above.

Fashion
The Danish fashion industry has long been lagging behind the interior and furniture design industries, where Danish design is a recognised brand. But this has changed, and Copenhagen has established itself as a fashion centre. Many of the important names in the industry run their own independent stores in central Copenhagen.

Music
Shop for some of Copenhagen's music stars in these stores. Good buys of local bands from Copenhagen with international quality include; Kashmir and Mew for rock music, and Trentemøller is an international electronica superstar,

Bakeries
Denmark, especially Copenhagen, is home to hundreds of traditional bakeries serving 'wienerbrød' (literally, bread from Vienna), the traditional and famous Danish pastries. While many are closing due to competition from 7-Eleven kiosks, a traditional bakery is still good to find and hard to beat. Look for signs with a pretzel on them or shaped like a pretzel, usually with a crown on top. The major department stores listed above also have bakeries, although they can be pricey.

Royal Warrant holders
When in Copenhagen, you have the opportunity to visit a Royal Warrant holder.

The Royal Warrant holder is a predicate dating back to the 19th century, it is only awarded to companies and individuals who have had long-term and regular trade of a certain extent with the royal family and the royal household.

Only a few handpicked companies are appointed this special title. Visiting stores labeled Royal Warrant Holder will give you a sense of the historical heritage of Copenhagen.

Budget
Frederiksberggade, the part of Strøget nearest to Rådhuspladsen, is packed with cheap burger joints, shawarma places, and China boxes, which all shell out quick food, until very late at night on the weekends. Burger King on the corner of Strøget and Rådhuspladsen operates 24 hours.

Mid-range
There are many opportunities. The area around Gråbrødre square is popular.

Brewery pubs
These listings are some excellent options for starting your night in Copenhagen, offering good food and excellent beers produced in the places' own micro breweries.

Copenhagen/Nørrebro

Nørrebro is an inner district of Copenhagen and perhaps the most multicultural part of the city. A prime cross-section of contemporary Danish society is on offer here, ranging from boutique shopping to grand middle-class areas through to areas revitalised by immigration.

Understand
The many Middle Eastern immigrants in the area around Nørrebrogade, the district's main road artery, have led to the area being called Little Arabia. This epithet is more racist than celebratory - regardless of this, the area makes for a lively excursion. There are many clothing, jewelry and grocery stores carrying Arabian signs and products - not to forget the multitude of cheap shawarma places offering a cheap bite of Middle Eastern cuisine. The Muslim attitude to alcohol aside, the multiculturalism is very visible, in that the nightlife here is very vibrant - especially the southern part of the district near the Lakes, around Sankt Hans Torv.

The northwestern part of the district across the S-train tracks, sometimes known as Bispebjerg, but more often referred to as Nord-Vest (North West), is one of — probably even the — last bastions of working class Copenhageners. Don't expect much in the way of sights, fancy cafes, stores or anything like that, but if nothing else, it offers a peak into some of the not-so-rich and not-so-equal lives of those living in one of the richest and most equal societies in the world. Two of the cheapest accommodation options of Copenhagen are here.

By train
Metro line M3 connects the district with the rest of the city. The S-train system's ring line F runs along the northern border of the district, with two stops Bispebjerg which is not really interesting attraction wise, and the district's namesake station Nørrebro which lies at the northern end of Nørrebrogade. The most common option is to take the train or Metro to Nørreport station, and walk from there, or catch one of the frequent buses running along Nørrebrogade.

By bus

 * 3A sets off at Nordhavn Station on Østerbro and enter Nørrebro on Tagensvej with stops at Sankt Hans Torv, Nørrebrogade and Stengade. From there it continues across to Frederiksberg, doing a loop around the center, before terminating in Sydhavnen.
 * 4A: Also does a half-loop around the city centre, serving the northern part of Nørrebro with several stops, from its northern terminus at Svannemøllen station. The most important stops being Nørrebro station and Lundtoftegade, before it too crosses Åboulevarden and enters Frederiksberg. It continues its loop all the way to Amager
 * 5A: If your accommodation is on Nørrebro, this line is the best option, as it sets out from the Airport, and runs through the Inner City, stopping at Nørreport station for interchange with the Metro and S-Train lines. It continues through the length of Nørrebrogade, with stops at Elmegade and Ravnsborggade (for shopping), Nørrebro's runddel square, Nørrebro Station (For interchange with S-train line F, and Bellahøj (for the Camping and Youth hostel accommodation). It terminates at Husum torv in the northern suburbs.
 * 6A has very little use for tourists, it runs between Rødovre and Emdrup through the inner city, with stops at Tagensvej and Bispebjerg station on Nørrebro.
 * 350S is an express line running between Ballerup in the northern suburbs, and the lovely village of Dragør on Amager. It is one of the two buslines serving the length of Nørrebrogade, with the same major stops as line 5A

By foot
Nørrebro lies a within a manageable walking distance from Nørreport station, and the northern entry point to Strøget. Walk in North-eastern direction down Frederiksborggade, until you reach the bridge across the lakes, once you've passed it, you're on Nørrebro.

Get around
Most of the interesting places on Nørrebro are concentrated southern part of the district, nearest to the city center, so it is easy to get around to the various sights on foot, or even better, on bike as the locals do. Bus lines 5A and 350S runs the length of Nørrebrogade, the major artery, if your feet gives up on you.

Ravnsborggade and Elmegade are two side streets to Nørrebro's main artery, Nørrebrograde, and they are packed with small, interesting stores. Start here at lunch, and grab a bite in one of the many small places dotted around the neighborhood, offering cheap, quality food. Do your shopping in some of the city's most unique stores, and finish the day of with a celebratory drink, on - or around - Sankt Hans Torv, with its excellent nightlife options (check the drink listings below). Just don't get so carried away that you leave your shopping bags behind. Amazingly, it is all within a 500-m radius.

Ravnsborggade
Is the 2nd street on your right, after you cross the lakes from the downtown area. It is mostly famous for its large number of antique stores, covering every price range, and which expand their stores out on the sidewalk in the summer months. It also has a fair amount of small and interesting fashion stores to breeze through - many of these are the fashion designers' own stores. The streets commercial association runs its own website, and also arranges flea markets several times a year (dates are posted on the website). Please note that only stores with their own websites are listed here, in order of street numbers - there are many more options to choose from, including on the side streets where Antik Hallen (The Antique hall) on Sortedams Dossering by the lakes deserves a special mention.

Elmegade
Two streets further up Nørrebrogade on the same side as Ravnsborggade is Elmegade. This small street has many small and interesting fashion stores, and many options for quality take away, or a quick bite of sushi, organic bread, bagels or good sandwiches. Again only shops with a web presence are listed here.

Jægersborggade
Likes to brand itself as the Berliner Quarter of Copenhagen. The small cobbled street has a good variety of speciality shops ranging from small food and coffee joints to ceramics to vintage clothes, and a few galleries to boot. Usually, the shops are open late (21:00 or later) every first Thursday of the month. Coming from central Nørrebro (by the Lakes), take a stroll through Assistens Cemetery and you'll find Jægersborggade as an extension of this path just across Jagtvej. The street has a website, but it's in Danish only.

Eat
The dining on Nørrebro is dominated by the ethnic diversity of the district. From the dozen of take-away stores dotted along Nørrebrogade and Elmegade, offering everything from middle eastern over Thai to Japanese cuisine. The restaurants are just as diverse, and the prices are among the cheapest in town.

Budget
Nørrebrogade is the schawarma street of Copenhagen with a large number of small restaurants competing on especially schawarmas. They start at 15 kr for a small schawarma in a pita and 20 kr for a large one in a home-made wrap.

Sankt Hans Torv nightlife
Sankt Hans Torv is a square in the southern part of Nørrebro, the square itself, and the surrounding streets, is packed with fantastic bars and clubs - many locals go here to drink, and the close proximity of the bars make it a perfect place for a pub crawl, where you can breeze through the bars drink by drink, till you end up at a place you really enjoy. When it is warm Pussy Galore, Café Sebastopol and Plenum has very popular outdoor seating on the square. If you're cheap, just grab a beer in the 7-Eleven store on the corner, and hang out with the "poor" students by the fountain.

Sankt Hans Torv quarter bars:

Sankt Hans Torv quarter clubs and venues:

If you get tired of drinking, and want to burn out some calories on a dance floor, head for these two clubs. That also has frequent live acts on their stages.

Copenhagen/Northern suburbs

The Northern suburbs is a green suburban district north of Copenhagen. The ghetto of the wealthy, the Whiskey belt; the nicknames are many, and the Northern suburbs is indeed home to most of the city's well-off population, but to casual visitors the difference may be subtle, due to the high income equality of Denmark and heavy taxation of the highest earners (up to 66% as of 2019). The district does however have more than its fair share of royal mansions, meticulously kept parks and golf courses.

Understand
Originally heavily forested, a heritage still visible today with its many parks, lakes and forest, the area became a favourite excursion destination for city dwellers during the early days of Denmark's industrialisation, where trams and trains would be full of people going to the entertainment areas north of the city on Sundays and other holidays - most of the places have since closed down, but the small but charming Dyrehavsbakken amusement park, the oldest still functioning in the world, and the nearby horse racing tracks and surrounding forest continues to draw hordes of city folk on public holidays and weekends, as will a trip on the hundred year old tour Baadfarten ferries sailing on the lakes and canals near Lyngby, will give you a taste of days gone by - these canals and lakes are actually remains of an elaborate defence for the city, where the canals would draw water of the lakes to flood the low-lying areas to thwart would-be invaders.

The industrialisation had another lasting impact on the district, as the earliest factories in the country shot up around the Mølleå River using water power to power the mills producing paper, weapons and textiles. But since steam power was introduced only a short time after these factories were built, development turned to back the city, and the area has been superbly preserved and is still surrounded by green forests, and amazingly most of old mills and factories still stand as they did when they were closed down in 19th century.

In the 1970s the old villages were joined together by huge patches of suburbia, the old village houses turning into residences for the wealthiest, and the suburbia occupied by the upper middle class, and bar a couple of minor exceptions, the area have become notoriously well off. The most interesting areas are without doubt the old Lyngby and along the Øresund coast, whereas the rest is mainly residential with little interest to travellers.

Get in
The area north of Copenhagen is served by 4 S-train lines, the western area which offer little in the way of attractions are served by lines H/C (towards Frederiksund) and A (Farum). The area to the east where the attractions are centred are served by lines E/B (Holte & Lyngby) and line C (Klampenborg) which runs parallel the coast. For access to the Dyrehaven forest and the amusement park it is also possible, and faster, to take regional kystbanen line (the coastal railway), as it has fewer stops - but be careful as some trains skip Klampenborg station.

All the S-train lines runs every 10 minutes throughout the day and every 20 minutes in the evening. the kystbanen runs every 6–14 minutes for most of the day, in the weekends and after 20:00, the service is cut back to every 20 minutes. It takes approximately 15 minutes to get to Hellerup and 20 minutes to get to Klampenborg and Lyngby, the 3 main attraction areas.

By car
There are two highways leading north of city Helsingørmotorvejen (route 19) starts on Østerbro, and runs north roughly halfway between the E/B (Holte) and C (Klampenborg) S-Train lines, just west of the Dyrehaven park to Lyngby and onwards to Helsingør. Hillerødmotorvejen (route 16) starts on the outer part of Nørrebro and runs north approximately halfway between the A (Farum) and H/C (Ballerup) S-Train lines to Farum, and onwards to Hillerød. Motorring 3 is an orbital highway around Copenhagen, and connects to the two highways. Strandvejen runs all the way along the Øresund coast to Charlottenlund, Klampenborg and further north.

Get around

The center of Lyngby is walkable. For a physically fit visitor it is also possible to walk to Frilandsmuseet by following the main street. Alternatively to walk to Sophienholm or Dyrehavsbakken. Though these are several kilometers away, you may walk in the green surroundings of the Dyrehaven forest, but it would much for feasible as an enjoyable bike trip. Unlike the central part of the city, it makes sense to have your own wheels in the northern suburbs, as some of the attractions, restaurants and hotels are a bit out of the way of bus transportation, which while perfectly feasible, has relatively infrequent departures in the district.

 * Taxi. Taxis are usually lined up at the train stations of Klampenborg and Lyngby, until late in the evening.
 * Taxa 4x35, +45 35 35 35 35, is one of the local taxi companies in the area.

By train
The main mode of transport for locals is the S-trains, and while they are useful getting to and from the city center, they are not that useful to tourists as a way to get around, as they mainly cater to commuters going downtown.

Nærumbanen is a modern light rail line between Lyngby & Nærum, but it wasn't always so. It was built to serve the booming industries along the Mølleå river, at the turn of the 20th century. Besides being the best mode of transport to reach Frilandsmuseet's eastern entrance, Brede Works (at Brede station) and the other mills along the river, it is quite scenic as it runs along the river in a forested area. It is colloquially known as Grisen or "the pig" in English, from the loud squeaky horn the old trains used to use frequently when crossing paths and roads.

By bus
In the Copenhagen suburbs, public transportation is built around the railway network. Almost every bus line begins at a Station, and will usually also end at one. Owing to Copenhagen's finger-based structure, transportation is centred on lines going to and from the inner city, and jumping between the fingers can be an unusually cumbersome. Below is a section of the most useful buslines in the area.

 * 169 & 179 runs the same ring route, but in opposite directions. And will get you between Lyngby & Charlottenlund stations, but it is rather slow and it may be quicker to take the S-trains to Hellerup and change to the C line to go back north.
 * 191 Is the only option to get to the canoe rental places, and sights in Nybro and Frederiksdal. It runs twice an hour most of the day between Lyngby and Sorgenfri station.
 * 388 is the best option for transportation between the two main attraction areas of Lyngby and Klampenborg, it stops at both stations, and runs along the border of Dyrehaven, but remember to check the schedule as it is fairly infrequent with only 2 departures per hour.
 * 400S Is the best option between Lyngby, Farum and Ballerup. There is no direct connection to Farum, so you'll have to switch to the S-train in at Bagsværd station, and take the train onwards to Farum, or stay on the bus to go to Ballerup.

By boat
Baadfarten has been sailing passengers on the Mølleå canal, and on Furesø, Bagsværd and Lyngby lakes, in their famous and charming white boats, for more than 100 years. Besides being an excellent way to see the sights in Frederiksdal and Nybro, it is a popular excursion in itself. It is the oldest of the 6 ferries sailing; Princes Alexandrine and Prince Christian were built in between 1896-1896, and thus dating back to the beginning. It used to be driven by steam but has been modified several times and now uses a diesel engine.

The usual starting point is from the pier in Lyngby, not to far from the station and departs about every 40 minutes between 10:00-17:00 during summer (early June - mid August), from May to the end of September there is also services on weekends on the stretch between Frederiksdal and Sorgenfrivej. There are 3 regular routes.

 * Lyngby - Nybro - Bagsværd
 * Lyngby - Nybro - Frederiksdal
 * Frederiksdal - Furesøbad (Farum)

On Sundays there are also an additional service connecting Frederiksdal, Birkerød and Holte on the Furesø lake. Tickets are between 35-40 kr, and a full day ticket can be bought for 110 kr. The routes are plotted on the map.

See
The sights in this district is mainly suitable for warm summer days, and for visitors with a historical interest, but if those two prerequisites are met a visit here can be incredibly rewarding. Bring your bike on the train though, or bring your patience as the main attractions are located far apart, and public transportation links in the area leaves a bit to be desired. And in the not unlikely event of poor weather, there is still a world-class art museum to browse through without getting wet.

Do

Mølleå River
The small river Mølleåen (literally Mill river) runs through the center of Lyngby near the church. It is possible to follow the river on foot or bike from Lyngby all the way to the sea (Øresund) through park and forest. But an even better option is to rent a Canoe or Kayak from one of places below and sail down the estuary from Frederiksdal or Nybro near Lyngby to the sea in Øresund.

Beaches
While the fancy new beaches in the inner harbour of downtown Copenhagen, are definitely more unique and conveniently located - The beaches along the Øresund coast dotted north along the Strandvejen road, following the coast, are where Copenhagerners used to make their escape from hot summer days in the city. And still on warm summer days you see hordes of cyclists making their way north, with towels sticking out their bags, as the inner city "beaches" doesn't quite offer the great green surroundings the northern beaches does.

Events & festivals

 * Midsummer night by Lyngby lake Midsummer night, is known in Denmark as Sankt Hans aften (St. John's Eve) and takes place on June 23 every year. It is celebrated with large bonfires to ward away evil spirits, which has been tradition since the Viking age. A more modern addition is to put a straw witch on the bonfire, and send her back to Bloksbjerg (a mountain in Germany). The bonfire at Folkets Park (by Viggo Stuckenbergs Vej) facing Lyngby Lake, is one of the most popular in the area, with many spectators, speeches and musical performances.

Shops

Eat
Northern Copenhagen offers some stellar options for dining. While the listings below can be a bit cumbersome to get to, they have been selected because they offer a unique atmosphere special to the district, many back from the day when the area was covered by forest and dotted by small villages. Check their websites and you will discover that most of these restaurants are old inns, housed in white chalked buildings, thatched roofs, and green surroundings. It is certainly not cheap - even though basic dishes on many of the listings below often hovers around 150 kr, expect the final bill to be much higher. Even then, the quality food, and unique environments, should make the extra cost and transportation time worthwhile.

Ice cream
The suburbs north of Copenhagen have many great ice cream stores. The most well-known is probably Lydolph's Isbar on Strandvejen (Beach Road) which has big ice creams and long queues in the summertime. There are also many Paradis outlets in this district.

 * This is probably the most well-known ice cream store in this district. It is located near Øresund and often attract long queues in the summertime. They are known for their large ice creams including the Lydolpher which is the largest of them. On the first day in the season they give away free soft ice.

 * Paradis is a chain of ice cream stores in Denmark. Unlike the most ice cream stores the ice cream is made naturally and sometimes has some special flavours. The ice cream can be bought in either a cone or a tub, but also in large boxes. The store also offers milkshakes made of ice cream.

Drink
If you headed north of downtown to drink in this district, you would be heading in the opposite direction of everyone else who crowd the late trains, to head for the nightlife in the center - or to put it a bit more bluntly, do not! If you are based in the Northern suburbs there are night buses once an hour on weekends to take bring you home safely from the watering holes of the inner districts. However, usually, in weekends and on Thursdays, many events and parties are held various places on the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) campus.

Another option in the summer is to head in the direction of Dyrehavsbakken (see listing in the do section), or stay there for eating if you're in the area. There are quite a lot of options; Ølgod is a Tyrolean style bierhalle, a bit tacky, but a potential for a lot of fun if you do not take yourself to seriously. Bakkens Hvile is a veritable institution in Danish culture, where the Bakken girls have been entertaining the crowd with singing, flirting and dancing in Danish cabaret style for as long as anyone can remember. Any of the other options are easy to find on weekends, when the crowd can get a bit rowdy, but usually in an innocent and hugely entertaining way.

Copenhagen/Vestegnen

Vestegnen is a suburban district west of inner Copenhagen, Denmark, mostly build up during the 1970-80s. There is little of general interest to travellers here, but some of Copenhagen's nicest hostels (albeit with a great deal of transportation to Copenhagen's main attractions) and a single top-notch art museum - oh, and 7 km of white beach if you are fortunate enough to run into sunny days.

Get in
Two S-train directions run from the centre of Copenhagen through the district
 * Lines B to Høje Taastrup runs west through Hvidovre, Rødovre, Brøndby, Glostrup, Albertslund and Taastrup every 20 minutes from early morning till late night, and twice as often most of the day.
 * Line A to Hundige runs southwest through Åmarken, Friheden, Avedøre, Brøndby Strand, Vallensbæk and Ishøj every 20 minutes from early morning till late night. Line E to Køge stops at Vallensbæk, Ishøj, Hundige, Greve, Karlslunde and Solrød and also runs every 20 minutes from early morning till late night.

Approaching the district by train from west or south, you will get off at Høje Taastrup Station or Køge Nord Station and continue by S-train.

Get around
The easiest way to get around is by S-train. For destinations between S-train stations or away from the main traffic channels you can take one of the local buses, most of which do not run as frequent as in the central part of the city.

There are taxi stands at almost all S-train stations, but it will quite often be that no taxis are available and you will have to call one. Vest-Taxa (+45 43 45 45 45) is usually the fastest in the western suburbs and Taxa Selandia (+45 70 10 66 66) in the far southwestern suburbs. Taxa 4x35 (+45 35 35 35 35) is a good option closest to the central part of the city, but further away some waiting time can be expected.

Do

 * Football:
 * Hvidovre IF were promoted in 2023 so they also play in SuperLiga. Their home ground (capacity 12,000) is just north of Friheden station.

Beaches
There are several good beaches along the coast, such as Brøndby, Ishøj & Vallensbæk strand. The whole area is dubbed Køge Bugt Strandpark, and covers 7 km of white beaches, sand dunes, meadows and lakes. It is very popular on warm summer days, but there are usually plenty of space if you look around. Facilities include jetties, toilets and several Kiosks dishing out popular ice creams. During late June to early August there are lifeguards present. Access by any station along the A and E S-train lines between Brøndby-Strand and Greve stations.

Theaters and concert halls
Expect bands mainly to be Danish bands, and theatrical performances in the Danish language, since none of these venues are really geared for tourists.

Buy
When city planners turned this area of former villages and farmland into unending suburbia (a transformation they now much regret), they turned to their North American counterparts for inspiration, and erected some huge impersonal shopping centers, complete with the usual, characterless chain stores, which leaves the shopping in Vestegnen a bit to be desired. You can find these shopping centers opposite almost every S-train station in the district. The largest of these malls are the aptly named City2, a short walk away from Høje Taastrup station, with 110 stores and a large cinema complex over 100,000 m², and Rødovre Centrum a bit off the main public transport corridors, also with 110 stores.

Eat
Except for Arti'kok you can safely disregard these listings if you are not staying in the district, as there are much better restaurants nearer the city centre.

Drink
Expect to drink with local alcoholics and kids who think Adidas trunk pants are the coolest thing since flavored Vodka. In other words, not really worth it unless you can not be bothered to go all the way into the city centre.

Sleep
Many hotels located here claims to be near the city centre, for the most part they are outright lying, and the only reason to sleep at these suburban hotels is if you have business or family relations in the area. One exception is the budget listings which are actually good options.

Stay safe
Vestegnen is generally safe, but since it is mostly known for its ghetto-areas, with a high percentage of residents with low income, low education and an immigration-background, crime (more specific robberies and muggings, and rarely gang-wars) can occur more often than in Copenhagen, so be aware of your surroundings and stay out of the ghetto-areas, especially at night. If a group of people is trying to provoke you, ignore them and don't provoke back. If you spot such a group or see something odd, you don't feel comfortable with, staying out of business and walk slowly and quiet away.

In the town Brøndby, do not wear anything that sympathizes with "F.C. Copenhagen", since fans of Brøndby IF are likely to get provoked. But as long as you stay out of the ghetto-areas, characterized with high residential, similar-looking building-complexes, you would find the atmosphere quite peaceful and friendly.

The best options for internet access is the various public libraries in the area:

Copenhagen/Vesterbro

Vesterbro is just outside Copenhagen’s city centre )the Inner City or Indre By), making it a very attractive place to live. It includes the districts of Sydhavnen. Enghave, Valby and Vanløse.

The district is west of the city center at the location of the old Western Gate (‘’Vesterport’’), access way into the old city. The gate, along with the other three gates into the old city — Østerport ("Eastern Gate") near the current Østerport Train Station), Nørreport ("Northern Gate") near the current Nørreport Train Station, and Amagerport ("Amager Gate", i.e. functionally the Southern Gate) between Christianshavn and the island of Amager - were dismantled in 1856.

The name "Vesterbro" causes some confusion as to its literal translation into modern Danish, as English, "Western Bridge". The word is an old word and does not refer to a bridge, but rather to the paved (Danish, brolagt) road leading into the city through the Western Gate.

The area has been renovated to a great extent, and its central location makes it a favored place to live. It has had a reputation as a center for prostitution and drug trafficking, where only the poorest would live, and there is still a certain amount of these activities in the area, especially on Istedgade and near Halmtorvet, but there has been police focus on clearing up troublesome areas.

By train
Copenhagen Central and Vesterport stations are at the eastern edge of the district. Copenhagen Central station is a major stop for almost every train line on the island, Vesterport is served by the S-train network. S-train Lines B and H continues along the southern edge of the district with stops at Dybbølsbro, Carlsberg and Valby stations. Carlsberg Station is next to (and replaced) the former Enghave Station.

By bus
The backbone of bus transport in central Copenhagen are the A buses operated by Movia, which run every few minutes throughout the day.

 * 1A Starts at Avedøre station in the western Copenhagen, and runs through the suburbs before entering Vesterbro at Valby station. From here it runs along the S-train tracks to the central station before it continues though downtown and Østerbro to terminate in at Hellerup station.
 * 3A This line does a half loop around downtown. Starting on Nordhavn station on Østerbro, passing through Nørrebro and enters Vesterbro across the major street Gammel Kongevej. It stops at the middle part of Vesterbrogade, Enghave Plads on the northern end of Istedgade near the Vega nightclub, runs along the eastern side of the Carlsberg complex, before it ends at the Valby Park.
 * 6A Starts in the suburb of Rødøvre west of Copenhagen, and enter Vesterbro just after the Copenhagen Zoo, it runs along the districts major artery Vesterbrogade all the way to the central station, where it enters downtown to end in the North-West district.

See
Saying Vesterbro is teeming with attractions would be pushing it by a wide margin. Indeed, the districts most famous attraction is possibly the sorry remains of the once numerous porn shops, dating back from the hey-days of Danish liberalism, when the country was the first in the world to formally legalize pornography in 1967, and Istedgade was the centre of the madness. Unless you have special interest in the subject, that alone is probably not reason enough for a visit these days. Instead, visitors should turn their attention to the district's shopping opportunities and night-life, which are the real attraction here. An appropriate kick-off to this would be a visit to the only star attraction on offer, the famous Carlsberg brewery.

Buy
If you like to breeze through small shops, that you don't see on every corner at high streets across the western world, Vesterbro is an excellent place to go shopping, there is a wide range independent fashion and design stores offering local brands, from the traditional Danish design industry, and the up-and-coming Danish fashion industry.

A good shopping tour of the district (3000 m) starts at Vesterport station, turn west along Gammel Kongevej until you reach Tullinsgade which is the 8th street on your left. Turn down Tullinsgade until it reaches Værnedamsvej - tour both streets as they are full of interesting stores, at the southern end of Værnedamsvej turn right (to the left side of the Europæiske building) along Vesterbrogade and follow it for some 180 meters, until you reach Tove's Galleri an indoor shopping arcade with a big red gate out in front, head all the way through the arcade until you reach the other side at Mattheusgade, make a right, and turn left at the end of the street along Enghavevej. When you reach the square, turn down Istedgade and follow it until it ends at the Central station. Keep your eyes open, some of the best stores are easy to miss.

Istedgade
Used to be the red light district, and while it still has more than its fair share of sorry souls, it has blossomed up during the last 10 years. At the end of the street nearest to central station, there is still the last sorry remains of the once so famous sex stores. Not really that exciting, but they are fairly well stocked if you want to spice up your sex life. There are two stores especially catering to gays, if you are from a less tolerant society, where these don't hang on trees. The real attraction these days though, are the numerous small fashion stores dotted along the length of street.

Eat
Vesterbro is where most Copenhageners come to eat a piece of the world. There are an incredible amount of restaurants within a very compact area, offering food from every corner of the planet, mostly at very affordable prices by local standards. With more than 250 restaurants and take away joints to choose from, it would be pointless to list them all here, So we have tried hard to select the best of each of the kitchens available here, listed in Italics behind the restaurant name.

The Meatpacking district
One of the districts, and indeed the whole city's, new hotspots is Kødbyen, which literally translates into the Meat City. Ad agencies, galleries and most importantly bars, have set up side by side with the largest concentration of butcheries on the country. The raw industrial surroundings, as it is the case with so many other places like this, blends quite well with outrageous night-life, and indeed some of Copenhagen's largest and most popular nightclubs have sprung up here.

The district is also home to an increasing number of restaurants, from budget to expensive: Quality fish-dishes at Kødbyens Fiskebar, Italian pizzas at Mother, organic food at BioMio and Nose2tail, and down-to-earth French cuisine at the wine bar Paté Paté.

Sleep
Aside from hostels, taking on from other major European cities, the area behind the Central station away from downtown and Tivoli, is where you find the city's cheapest hotel accommodation. It has a reputation for being a bit rough, but in Denmark that isn't saying much, although you may bump into the odd drug addict or desperate hooker at night time. Apart from any psychological discomfort you personally may get from such encounters, it shouldn't cause you any trouble - indeed a number of high quality hotels are located here, which should give you an indication of the severity of the problem. If you want to take extra care avoiding the above personalities, walking to your hotel from Vesterbrogade instead of Istedgade should steer your clear of them altogether.

Copiapó

Copiapó is a town of 150,000 people (2017) in Northern Chile. It's a pleasant stop if passing by bus, overlooked by beautiful hills and surrounded by vineyards. Although it's in the southern end of the Atacama desert, the area was once more lush oasis than now, reflected in the town's first name in 1744: San Francisco de la Selva, Saint Francis of the Jungle. In 1854 the first railway line in South America was built here.

Understand
The town is surrounded by the Atacama Desert and receives very little rain. Copiapó is in a rich silver and copper mining district.

The Copiapó-Caldera railway line, built in 1850, was the first one in South America. The original wooden railway station is now a National Monument.

Tourism in Copiapó has been developing since the early 21st century. Some come to see the desert and indigenous monuments, such as the Inca cemetery in the city, which was investigated in the 1930s. In addition, a new casino has attracted domestic and foreign tourists, and hotels have invested in new amenities and structures to satisfy demand.

Get in
Copiapó is about 65 km east of the coastal town of Caldera, and 800 km north of Santiago.

Buses pull in from the north (Antofagasta, Iquique, Arica) and south (La Serena, Santiago) at the terminals south of the city centre. Tur-bus has their terminal on Calle Chañarcillo and Pullman has theirs on Colipi.

Copperbelt

The Copperbelt Province is situated in Northern Zambia, a region which is very rich in minerals. It was the backbone of the Northern Rhodesian economy during British colonial rule, but its economic importance was severely damaged by a crash in global copper prices in 1973 and the nationalization of the copper mines by the government of Kenneth Kaunda.

Copper Canyon

Copper Canyon (Spanish: Barranca del Cobre) is a canyon system in the Sierra Tarahumara in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. There are many ways to explore Copper Canyon such as hiking, biking, driving or horseback riding. The most popular way is by train, as the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico or ChePe, runs along the main canyon called Canyon Urique, between Creel and Los Mochis, on the Gulf of California.

Understand
The system of canyons here is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the neighboring United States, although the Grand Canyon is larger overall than any of the individual canyons of the Copper Canyon system. Though the area would be Mexico's star national park, it thus far has not been designated as a park as efforts to make it so have been hampered by disagreements between loggers and the native Raramuri.

This area is rich in biodiversity, cultural history, and is the site of a growing tourist infrastructure. The town of Creel is probably the most popular gateway to the canyonlands. But the town of Hidalgo de Parall to the south of Chihuahua City is a good alternative and is useful for exploring the largely overlooked Sinforosa Canyon. Within the canyons lie the towns of Batopilas and Urique. Life moves slower in these towns, and it can be hard to imagine you are in the same country that counts Mexico City, Acapulco, and Cancun among its attractions. Shops and restaurants tend to be simple affairs that open late and close early. That does not prevent them from being very charming and the small towns in the canyons are great places to slow down and unwind. There are historic Catholic churches often run by Jesuit missionaries from other parts of the Latin World. But the real attraction of the canyonlands is the natural splendor of the area. There are numerous waterfalls and hot springs hidden away in the backcountry. These are reached by hiking, horseback, or guided treks with burros. Camping out under the stars is wonderful on the countless sandbars that line the area rivers. The area does see other travellers and tourists but is hardly overrun. Rather, the small towns seem to have the right balance; enough other visitors so you can meet hiking partners and put together expeditions. But not so many that getting away from all traces of civilization is anywhere near difficult.

History
The area was mostly uninhabited before European arrival. Once Spaniards began forming ranches on the plains of Chihuahua the Raramuri began moving back into the canyons. The almost militant Jesuits soon followed. The Jesuits were forced out of Mexico after the Spanish crown discovered they were smuggling gold back to Europe; leaving the Raramuri in peace. Franciscans replaced the Jesuits throughout much of Mexico but never succeeded in penetrating the Sierra Tarahumara. Today there are a few Jesuit missionaries back in the area. The lack of any church leadership in the area for hundreds of years resulted in the hybrid Christian-traditional religious beliefs that the Raramuri exhibit today.

Flora and fauna
Very little scientific study has been done on the wildflowers since the late 1800s and early 1900s until the 21st century. A visitor to the Copper Canyon region in 2004 saw many beautiful flowers but discovered that no field guide had ever been written for the Copper Canyon so she decided to write one. After three more trips to do the research, she found a botanist to work with her who then identified the plants and a professor from a university in Chihuahua translated the text into Spanish so the guide would be bilingual. In July 2009 the first Field Guide to the Wildflowers of Mexico’s Copper Canyon Region by Linda J. Ford was published. She created a very user friendly guide so when the casual visitor is touring the canyon in the months of September and October when the wildflowers are in bloom, he or she will have the opportunity to identify over 140 different species of wildflowers.

Climate
The most comfortable time to go is early spring to early summer and late summer to late fall.

Because of the difference in elevation from over 2,550 m (8,000) feet at the high plateau and canyon rims to the bottom of the canyons at 550 m (1,800 feet), four very distinct climate zones with a wide variety of vegetation have resulted.

In the highlands is the Madrean Conifer Forest with fir, pines, Douglas fir, and red Madroño trees. Going down in elevation, there is the Pine-Oak Woodland with pine, live oak, and agave. Continuing down, next comes the Arid-Tropical Deciduous Thorn Forest with scrub oak, mesquite, and cardon. The last zone located at the bottom of the canyons is the Tropical-Subtropical Riparian Forest that has fig, sycamore, ceibas, grasses, reeds, and palms.

During the winter months, the temperature can drop below freezing at the rim of the canyon while down in the canyon, the climate is subtropical. During the summer months, afternoon rains often occur. As a result of these rains, the streams and waterfalls begin to flow and the vegetation including wildflowers come to life in late August, September, and early October. In addition to abundant wildflowers in the fall, the temperatures are also more moderate at the rim as well as in the canyon that time of year.

By train
The Chihuahua al Pacífico Railway, known as El Chepe, is a rail line that runs from the Pacific coast at Los Mochis to the town of Creel, passing through the canyonlands. While the train ride is lauded as one of the most spectacular in the world, the really scenic parts of the journey are between El Fuerte and Creel, especially between El Fuerte and Bahuichivo where the train rapidly ascends many thousands of feet. For the best views, travel from west to east, e.g. Los Mochis to Creel, and try to sit on the right side of the train.

The trip is 350 km in length and takes approximately 9 hours, passing through towns and the towering cliffs of the canyons. Along the railway, many Tarahumarans lay out their food, crafts and other wares for sale.

The train includes three classes, "first class", "executive class" and "tourist class", the latter being the most basic. As of 2022, the train leaves from Los Mochis at 8am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and from Creel at the same time every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

By bus
Copper Canyon is well served by bus service. Buses run from El Paso-Juarez to Chihuahua (US$25) and from Ojinaga-Presidio to Chihuahua (US$12) regularly. From Chihuahua you can continue on by bus to Creel (US$20) to transfer to the train.

By car
If you have your own private vehicle driving on the Mexican toll roads is very easy, and corruption appears to be a minor issue in Chihuahua outside of the Juarez area.

Fees and permits
The Copper Canyon is not a national park nor any other fee area. It costs nothing to see beyond your transportation and other travel expenses.

Get around
Mountain bikes, ATVs and four wheel drive trucks can be rented in downtown Creel to explore the outlying area. Unlike most other parts of the Copper Canyon area, unguided day trips are possible out of Creel. Daytrip destinations include the Valley of the Monks, and the Valley of the Frogs. Recohuata, a developed hot springs area, is also within 16 km (10 miles) of Creel.

On foot
There is a maze of Raramuri trails running through the area. They run in all different directions, are unsigned and seem to have no concept of grade or steepness. Hiring a guide is a good idea. Someday perhaps an ambitious volunteer will try to make some kind of signage and map system for all the trails. Right now, well, it's an adventure.

See

 * Raramuri Indians - Known in Spanish as the Tarahumara, they are among the largest and most traditional native American societies in all of North America. They are known for their running abilities. They are shy quiet people and do not like to have their photos taken due to religious beliefs.

Do

 * There are numerous hot springs in the area. The most developed and well known are the Recohuata (Recowata) Hot springs near Creel which have been channeled into a series of concrete pools. The area is clean and well maintained and while developed it has a very nice rustic charm that blends well with the natural beauty of the area. Lesser known and undeveloped are the Basirecota Hot Springs down the canyon from the Cusarare area. These springs are much hotter than the ones at Recohuata. Farthest off the beaten path and probably nicest of all are the Owerabo hot springs deep within the Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon). These are undeveloped and form natural pools; they also mix with a waterfall that plunges down into the area from the cliffs above.

Buy
The indigenous people who live in the Copper Canyon are called the Tarahamura (or Raramuri). Indians will often sell various types of handmade crafts to tourists in Creel or along the route of the Chepe train. You'll also find them at stops along the way and along trails used by backcountry explorers. The most common crafts (and the most distinctive local mementos) are the baskets, hand-woven from agave fibers.

Cash works in this region, credit cards usually don't. ATMs are not plentiful along the train route, so get cash before leaving Chihuahua or Los Mochis.

Eat
Food and drink are served aboard El Chepe, and several restaurants are found near most train stations, especially Creel and El Fuente.

Drink
Food and drink are served aboard El Chepe, and several bars and restaurants are found near most train stations, especially Creel and El Fuente.

Sleep
Camping areas can be found just about anywhere, but for those not willing to rough it, a very wide range of accommodations is available in the vicinity, from hostels in Creel and Urique to dedicated 5-star luxury lodges that cater to package tourists. It is better to book a minimum 2 months in advance. 4 months or more is best (this applies only to the upmarket luxury lodges, simple guesthouses only fill up just before Easter and campgrounds always have space available).

Camping
There are dedicated campgrounds in Creel and Urique, most other places you can camp wherever you find an unoccupied sandbar. Oftentimes the best option is to go up to a rancher or farmers house and ask permission perhaps offering a small payment. This gives you a little extra protection from theft or harassment.

Stay safe
In the more remote and rugged canyonlands hiring a local guide is strongly recommended as the landscape and climate are harsh and unforgiving of errors. In addition this is an area of drug cultivation, and unaccompanied American tourists (usually groups of motorcyclists) have disappeared in the past, presumably killed by narcotics traffickers. The area south of Batopilas towards Durango is an especially intense zone of narco activity.

Go next
From Los Mochis, your next stop could be to take the ferry across the Sea of Cortez to La Paz.

From Chihuahua, you could catch a bus into Texas, or catch a plane to Monterrey or Mexico City.

Copper Harbor

Copper Harbor is the northernmost city in Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula. It is an all-season resort town in northeastern Keweenaw County with a permanent population of 110.

Climate
Summers are warm but rarely hot due to the moderating influence of Lake Superior, while winters are cold and snowy, albeit milder than areas on similar parallels to the west, due to the low-scale maritime moderation. Although winter temperatures are similar to those in Minneapolis, a couple of degrees latitude south-west, the main difference is that April is also a winter month in Copper Harbor, since the marine effects delay spring. The temperature lag effect is so great that March holds the town's record low, and April's record low temperatures are not much warmer than those of December.

By car
Copper Harbor is just short of the northeastern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula and the end of US-41 (from Miami). Take either US-41 or M-26 north from Houghton-Hancock; the two routes share roadway part of the way, with the state road taking a couple of detours. When they split at the crossroads of Phoenix (about 8 miles north of Ahmeek), you have your choice of routes: M-26 meanders along the Superior shoreline, US-41 "tunnels" through a lovely canopy of trees, and Brockway Mountain Drive (accessible at Eagle Harbor from M-26) follows a ridgeline and offers some great views (but is not plowed in winter and has some very steep grades).

By boat
The city is on a harbor of course, but the only commercial service is to and from Isle Royale National Park.

Get around
The city is clustered around the harbor, with most places within easy walking distance. Bicycles or cars will get you further afield.

See

 * US-41 Terminus - Ever wonder what a highway looks like when it just ends? Continue on US-41 north through the town, just past the state park, to the cul-du-sac that marks the northern end-point of a highway that begins in far-off Miami.  It's underwhelming... which is part of why it's worth spending the few extra minutes it takes to get there.

Do
There's a series of trails in the hills outside of town, suitable for hiking and some for all-terrain biking.

 * Hunter's Point is a non-hilly point, running out from the west into Lake Superior. It is a Grant Township park, hosting a wide variety of flora and fauna. It is also a well-known stop for migratory birds.

Buy
There are many local artisan shops and antique stores on the main drag in Copper Harbor, as well as a general store and several fun souvenir shops.

Go next
Copper Harbor is one of the main gateways to Isle Royale National Park over the horizon in Lake Superior. The Keweenaw Peninsula is host to a plethora of hiking, biking, fishing, or skiing opportunities.

Copper Mountain

Copper Mountain is a ski resort in Colorado.

History
Copper Mountain, run by Powdr Corp, a Utah based company after Intrawest sold the resort in December 2009, is well-known for its naturally segregated terrain. On one end of the mountain, there are beginner trails, in the middle there are intermediate trails, and on the other side expert trails. There are also expert bowls on the backside of the mountain. Copper has grown quite a bit in the past few years as a result of it being acquired by Intrawest. Some complain that it has lost its relaxed attitude. Others appreciate its new amenities.

Climate
For Copper Mountain - the average weather is as follows:

 * Winter: Snowy, or perfect blue sky. Almost never in-between, and no rain.  Annual snowfall is 280in (710cm) of soft, dry powder.  It receives less snow than nearby Vail, because of its altitude, but has better quality snow when it does fall.

Get in
Copper Mountain is located in the heart of the Rockies, close to Vail, Breckenridge, and Keystone ski resorts along the main artery of Colorado - Interstate 70, approximately 2 hours from Denver and 1/2 hour from Vail. A number of shuttle services provide transportation directly from the airport to the resort.

Get around
Get around the mountain during winter on the extensive network of ski lifts from the three village areas. A free shuttle also runs throughout the resort, connecting the three main areas: The East Village (Super Bee Lift), Main Village (American Flyer & American Eagle), and Union Creek (High Point). One can also walk between the different sections, but most opt to use the bus in order to avoid hauling around all of their gear. It is also possible to take a combination of lifts and ski/boarding runs to move between villages.

Summit County has a free bus system running every 30 min to an hour, depending on the time of day from Copper Mountain to various stops in Frisco. Buses from the Frisco Exchange depart every 30 min at peak time and hour otherwise back to Copper Mountain, or to Brekenridge, Silverthorne and Dillon nearby.

There is also an early morning and evening bus from Leadville to Copper and back, mainly used by employees who have an early shift.

See
The Eagles Nest Wilderness is immediately north of Copper Mountain. Across Interstate 70, the Gore Range Trail and Wheeler Lakes Trail ascend across an aspen meadow and north through a gulch lined with spruce and fir. A few miles north, the North Tenmile Creek Trail and Meadow Creek Trail descend into Frisco from the Gore Range Trail.

From the top of Super Bee and Excelorator lifts, one can get a tremendous view of the Ten-mile mountain range to the east. The Sky Chutes are clearly visible behind East Village as viewed from the other villages.

Do

 * Beginners, head over to High Point and American Flyer lifts, where you will find many green runs. Blue runs can be accessed by timberline, American Eagle and Super Bee lifts. Black runs can be found under Super Bee, Alpine, Resolution, and Storm King lifts. Warning:Do not attempt expert terrain if you are unsure of your ability to do so; it is difficult to get back to easier terrain once you have headed down a black.
 * For the brave and experienced, take a Snowcat over to Tucker mountain for the closest thing you'll find to backcountry skiing, except for, of course, the real thing. Snowcat departs throughout the day from the bottom of Mountain chief lift in Copper Bowl.back some fresh powder.
 * After a long day of skiing, you'll undoubtedly be tired, and may just want to relax in your hotel. Until a few years ago, Copper could be relatively boring, but the resort has brought in a number of bars and restaurants popular with locals, in addition to music festivals in the spring that guarantee big crowds. In the villages, one can find a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops, but arguably, the real fun lies down the road in Dillon and Frisco where there are many restaurants, bars, and a movie theater. There is also a supermarket to stock up on supplies and a Starbucks to satisfy your caffeine addiction.
 * If you're looking to shop, there are a number of strip malls, a major sporting goods store, and the Silverthorne outlet stores. In the outlet stores, one can hunt for great deals in a number of name brand stores, including Polo, Old Navy, and Nike. For someone willing to drive a little, Breckenridge and Vail are each 20-30 minutes away. Both places contain a relatively vibrant nightlife and one can explore a variety of shops and restaurants.

Copper Mountain Snowmobiling Tours & Rentals Guided snowmobiling tours in the Copper Mountain Backcountry as well as unguided snowmobile rentals atop Vail Pass.

Buy
Tickets can be bought at ticket offices in the base areas. Food can be bought at the cafeterias or restaurants. There are gift shops at the Main and East villages. A couple of other stores are present in the main village, but not many. For more shopping, head over to Frisco, Vail, Breckenridge, Silverthorne or Dillon.

The closest town for shopping is Frisco, and has a Safeway, Walmart, various fast food and diners, a Wells Fargo bank, pharmacy, sports stores and more.

Eat
There are plenty of food outlets in the three villages. Each village has a food court where you can either buy lunch or eat something that you brought. Although the East village has JJ's Tavern and Double Diamond, most other dining options will be located in the Main Village. Such establishments include Jack's Bar and Grill, Camp Hale Coffee and C.B. Grille. Other than the food courts, most restaurants are sit down, so one must be willing to spend a considerable amount of time eating(not for those who want to eat quickly and get back to skiing). Up on the actual slopes you can get a bite to eat at the Solitude Station (at the top of American Eagle lift), or get a burger at T-Rex (at the base of Timberline lift). Favorite après ski locations include Endo's Adrenaline Cafe (Main Village) and JJ's, a popular bar at the base of Super Bee which often features live music.

Drink
Copper Mountain's apres-ski nightlife is wide-renowned. Some of the more popular clubs are Jack's and Endo's in the Center Village, and JJ's in the East Village. As previously stated above, live music is common; the quality ranges from fantastic to terrible.

As in any high-altitude area, make sure you drink sparingly at first, to see how your body handles the alcohol at this elevation. Generally speaking, the higher above sea level you are, the quicker one becomes drunk; please keep this in mind and drink responsibly.

For the kids--or anyone with a sweet tooth--the hot chocolate from Solitude Station (a cafeteria about halfway up the mountain) is nothing short of amazing.

Sleep
Copper mountain has many lodges, which offer somewhat expensive--but well-equipped--rooms. If you're on a budget, you might try one of the several hotels in the nearby towns of Frisco, Dillon, or Silverthorne.

Go next
Copper lies right on I-70, one of the main arteries through the nation. As such, it is easy to get out for trips into the nearby towns--if you feel like shopping, visit the famous outlet mall in Silverthorne (it takes up most of the town!), or head into Frisco for a meal in one of its many restaurants.

If you feel like skiing somewhere else, Keystone and Vail are both fairly short drives.

 * Colorado's Wine Country - Colorado is home to over 70 wineries and its own indigenous vineyards. Wine lovers can enjoy several scenic day trips from Copper to many of the small towns that grow their own grapes. These lovely little communities include Montrose, Palisade, Paonia, Grand Junction and Hotchkiss. This is a day trip from Copper.
