What to expect on different days of the week
Please note that city life in Copenhagen varies depending on the day of the week. The big nights out are undoubtedly Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are the busiest evenings, and bars and nightclubs stay open longer. Nevertheless, you can still have a pleasant evening at a bar on a weekday, but expect fewer people and shorter opening hours.
