Staying in Vesterbro
Vesterbro stretches well beyond the streets immediately behind Copenhagen Central Station. An address near Enghave Plads gives you a different daily route from one on Vesterbrogade or beside the railway. Use the square, Sønder Boulevard and the station as reference points when comparing rooms. Check the final walk from public transport and ask about street noise if your accommodation sits above late-opening premises.
