   Vesterbro

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Vesterbro

   20 or 30 years ago no one would have sent a tourist here; now it's a top pick.

5. 4:10

   The Little Mermaid

   Skip it: small, super crowded and out of the way, so just Google a photo.

6. 9:24

   Kødbyen (Meatpacking District)

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Vesterbro · brief mention

   A fallback for dinner when everything else is booked, as there is always somewhere to eat.
