The old red-light and butchers' district reborn as the city's coolest quarter — the Meatpacking District's bars and restaurants, craft beer, and Tivoli on its doorstep. Buzzy, young and better value than the centre, a short walk or ride in. Where to stay for nightlife and the best casual eating in town.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 2.Tivoli Gardens — The enchanting 1843 pleasure garden in the middle of the city — vintage wooden coaster, lantern-lit gardens, concerts and old-world rides that inspired Walt Disney. Magical after dark, and unmissable when it's dressed for Halloween or Christmas.
- 9.The Meatpacking District — Copenhagen's night out — the white-tiled old meat market in Vesterbro, now packed with buzzing restaurants, natural-wine bars and clubs that run late. Cool without trying too hard, and the best-value good eating and drinking in an expensive city.
