Vesterbro<br />

Vesterbro is one of the coolest areas in the Danish<br />

capital, and has been named as one of the<br />

foremost hipster neighbourhoods on the planet.<br />

Queens<br />

COPEN<br />

HAGEN<br />

Formerly an infamous red-light, working-class<br />

neighbourhood, Vesterbro´s turnaround began<br />

with the transformation of the old cattle market<br />

Øksnehallen into a light and stylish exhibition hall.<br />

The whole area around Øksnehallen, the former<br />

meatpacking district, is now completely re-invented<br />

and abuzz with amazing restaurants, nightclubs,<br />

galleries, cafés, green oases and much more – while<br />

still maintaining its gritty & urban rock´n´roll feel.<br />

Along Vesterbrogade and Istedgade, you will<br />

also find plenty of bars, restaurants, and designer<br />

stores. And don´t miss Vesterbro´s own food<br />

street, Frenchy Værnedamsvej – a gourmet’s<br />

paradise with specialist cheese, wine, fish and<br />

chocolate shops, as well as cafes and grocers.<br />

BABETTE is located in<br />

historical Copenhagen,<br />

close to major attractions<br />

such as the Royal<br />

Palace and the Little<br />

Mermaid. Kastellet,<br />

just across from Babette,<br />

is a beautifully<br />

preserved 16th century<br />

star fortress, that still<br />

houses a church and<br />

a lovely old windmill.<br />

Don´t miss a walk or<br />

run in this park, which<br />

is like stepping several<br />

centuries back in time.<br />

The heart of inner-city<br />

Copenhagen is only a<br />

few minutes´walk away,<br />

with the picturesque canals<br />

of Nyhavn leading<br />

up to the King´s New<br />

Square and Strøget, the<br />

pedestrian shopping<br />

street where high-street<br />

meets couture. Don´t<br />

miss all the winding,<br />

cobble-stoned medieval<br />

side streets, home<br />

to a myriad of funky<br />

specialty shops, cafés<br />

and much, much more.<br />

Reykjavik<br />

Although strictly speaking<br />

Reykjavik is not big<br />

enough to be called a city,<br />

it is strikingly cosmopolitan<br />

for its size, and loaded<br />

with excellent art, rich<br />

culinary choices, and cool<br />

cafes and bars. The music<br />

scene is also quite extraordinary,<br />

as Icelanders are an<br />

extremely musical people<br />

– there´s always an interesting<br />

festival to go to, or<br />

clubs with creative DJs and<br />

many home-grown and international<br />

bands.<br />

Eyja Guldsmeden is located<br />

in the up-and-coming<br />

downtown Reykjavik area,<br />

with a fantastic view over<br />

the city and our very own<br />

signature mountain Esja.<br />

We´re happy to be your<br />

home base in this neighbourhood,<br />

with lots of<br />

cosy cafés and shops right<br />

around the corner.<br />

We know all the good stuff<br />

to do, see and enjoy, so feel<br />

free to ask for advice and<br />

directions! Plan your trip<br />
