NIGHTLIFE
In Copenhagen, weekends often begin on Wednesday, clubs rock until Sam, and then the morning pubs open up. On Tuesday and Thursday, most bars and clubs have reduced covers and cheap drinks. The city center, Nsrrebro, and Osterbro reverberate with hip, crowded bars. Fancier options abound along Nyhavn, but loads of Danes just bring beer and sit on the pier. Copenhagen is known for its progressive view on homosexuality, but its gay and lesbian scene is surprisingly calm.
