Personal comments:
1) Best cafés: - Rayuela, a spanish bar in Fælledvej Street (in Norrebro). Actually, in this street there are plenty of bars and stuff --> Gefhärlish (night bar) and Rust (a night club closed to these street) - Vinyl Bar: (Sortedam Dossering 81) Cool decoration, with vinyls, and awesome hamburguers! 2) Night life: - Meatpacking district: a zone with 5 bars and clubs that were really cool. -Rust (mentinoned above) - Vega - the Erasmus used to go to places in the city centre were commercial music was played (the wall street, kulorbar) but.. i'm not gonna recommend them ;) 3) place not to be missed: - Christiania! Amazing! take your time there, and go there more than once! there's always something to do! Night: go to the reaggae club there. Day: take your time to grab a coffee or w/e in the many bars there. Try the vegetarian restaurant, very cozy! :) - Norrebro Fleamarkets: on saturday and sunday. - Amager Strand: go to the beach when the good weather comes! its preatty cool and different! - Parcs: go to any of the parcs in town. I liked Fredriksberg have. - Nyhavn, Kongens Nytorv, the centre and Kastellet.

Great sweaty student drinking nite in the Studenthouse on the main street- run by students(make sure u get your name down)in exchange for free drink. Fantastic. The hippy commune Christianias perect for a 'hazy day' while the bar Loppen in there has great live music. Stengade30 has live reggae on a sunday also great for a legally enjoyable hazy nite. Dont forget u can drink on the streets no problem so take advantages(Nyhaven or the parks are perfect in spring/summer) Vega/rust then are the huge clubs to go to at the weekend- dont bother with anything else

No doubt: go to the Park Cafè on Thursday night. It's an amazing place with students, locals live music and disco. There's also a very nice open space with music and bar. In Copenhagen you can always find something to do in the night a part from Sunday and Monday. During the day you can have a nice walk in the centre of the town, there are many nice shops or spend the day in the museums. If you wan to travel go to Aarhus it's a very nice university town. Take a look at Christiania, Tivoli and moreover the National Museum

I was often at the Student house for the international student night. Near the round tower, it was not a bad place to get to meet others like you and share your experiences. There is also Vega which is a night club in a some what dangerous part of Copenhagen, but the music and entertainment was very nice. The Jazz festival in Summer is not to be missed and the Christmas beers and festivities known as Christmas lunches are something all foreigners can enjoy.

I really liked the bars at the uni, Nexus on thursday at Solbjerg Plads and on friday La Cable at Dalgas Havn. In the city I loved LA Bar, it's crappy but cheap and you can find all the exchange students there at wednesday. I also liked Club Sevilla on thursdays (free entrance for girls). Park was also very nice, but expensive. And if you like Cocktails then Barcelona in Norreport is really nice.

As an international student - you have to go to "Student House!" There are tonnes of really nice bars and cafes. We went to Enzo, Parkcafe and The Globe a lot. Also if you are staying in Valby, check out the Guinness Pub on Valby Langgade, they used to give girls free beer on a tuesday night!

Not to miss: wednesday evenings at Studenthouse, especially for exchange students. My favourite club was Park Café, a nice and cosy place, good music, water pipes...really great!!!But there are lots of other good cafés, pubs (Irish Pub...), clubs (Bombay, Cavi, Australian).

A bar outside of Copenhagen University is pretty good. Lots of university students interact with each other. Especially when the Christmas beer just come out of the market, students tend to go to the bar and taste the beer instead of buying from the supermarket.

International Night (Wednesday) at the Student House was always fun and you could meet a lot of new people. Vega was a nice club and the Jazz House was fun. The best times were had at a tiny little tequila bar (whose name escapes me...)

Asia Palace - All-you-can-eat-and drink for 2 hours and 100 DKK. Rust and Vega are the best night clubs. The Studenthuset is a cheap place to mingle with other students in Copenhagen (Wednesday is International student night).
