Copenhagen
COPENHAGEN - BEST RESTAURANTS & HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS
Introduction
Denmark, with its capital Copenhagen, has the oldest monarchy in the world. But the city is transforming into one of Europe's hotspots for contemporary art; museums like Louisiana, Arken and Glyptotek, modern architecture and top restaurants like the awarded Noma make Copenhagen a top travel destination in Europe. Already 500 years ago William Shakespeare wrote in his Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: “There's something modern in the state of Denmark”.

Bland hotel bar with skittle decor aspirating for the city's place-to-be. Men in tie's and blonde danes go off the hook when the DJ blows the house down. Guest list mandatory, try register online.
Culture Box
A zippy underground joint with turntable-rocking DJ's. Fusion of sounds, minimal techno mainly. Club kids get smashed and make out everywhere. Credo: commercial stuff sucks! Place to forget the world outside
