Nightlife & the Arts in Copenhagen

Copenhagen used to be famous for jazz, but that has changed, with many of the best clubs closing down. However, you can find nightspots catering to almost all musical tastes, from ballroom music to house, rap, and techno. There are also plenty of trendy clubs where DJs provide the sound tracks.

Restaurants, cafés, bars, and clubs stay open after midnight, a few until 5 am. The club scene can be fickle—new venues crop up regularly, often replacing last year's red-hot favorites. Call ahead or check out Copenhagen This Week (www.ctw.dk) and the English newspaper, The Copenhagen Post (www.cphpost.dk) for current listings.
