Copenhagen’s Vesterbro district tells a compelling story of urban transformation. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore a neighbourhood that’s evolved from gritty industrial roots, poverty, and red-light district status into one of the city’s most dynamic and beloved areas. You’ll also discover how Vesterbro maintains its edge while embracing modern Copenhagen’s creative new energy. The tour starts at the striking Copenhagen Central Station, designed by Heinrich Wenck. You’ll stroll through the lively streets of Vesterbro, weaving past hidden cocktail bars, historic taverns, and former brothels. Along the way, you’ll discover the neighbourhood’s fascinating history, from its working-class origins to its transformation during Copenhagen’s comprehensive urban renewal initiative from 1991-2005. The tour ends at the iconic Elephant Gate at the former Carlsberg Brewery, a symbol of Denmark’s brewing heritage and industrial past.
