Copenhagen isn’t a skyscraper city, so rooftop bars are few but special. Views come from hotel sky bars (such as the Sky Bar at AC Hotel Bella Sky in Ørestad), high-floor restaurants (such as Alberto K at the Radisson Collection Royal, and Tårnet in the Christiansborg tower) and seasonal rooftop terraces. For nightlife, head to the Meatpacking District (Kødbyen), Vesterbro, Nørrebro and the harbour. With a chauffeur by the hour, you can combine views, dinner and bars across the city in one evening.

Copenhagen’s nightlife is less about glamour and more about good design, natural wine, cocktails made with Nordic ingredients and long summer evenings by the water. Here’s where to go, grouped by the kind of night you want. Opening days change seasonally, so always check before you go.
