What’s the deal with Nørrebro? What defines cool? Well, normally it seems to be lots of stylish, creative people, congregating in trendy wine bars and sipping on drinks that look frightfully orange. But there’s so much more to a cool neighbourhood than that. Galleries with regular, unique exhibitions. Cracking food spots. Independent clothes shops you’ll want to browse for hours.  But whatever your criteria, Copenhagen’s Nørrebro is an objectively cool neighbourhood. We even crowned it the coolest neighbourhood in the whole world in 2021, so you can trust us on this one (if you want more inspo, check out our list of the best neighbourhoods in the world for 2022). All over Copenhagen you'll find brilliant bars, restaurants and things to do, but much of the action happens right here.  Firstly, this is the spot to find seriously good takes on traditional Danish grub (hit up Selma for a heavenly smørrebrod). But Nørrebro has wide-ranging diversity, which helps bolster a keen sense of community spirit. This, after all, is where the city’s huge Pride march took place this summer, and it’s also where any notable (peaceful) political protests tend to kick off. Throughout the neighbourhood a diverse range of shops, bars, and restaurants sit side by side, creating a feel reminiscent of a tidier, prettier Dalston or maybe Neukölln. You’ll find award-winning Thai restaurants, the city’s finest shawarma and falafel and African fusion menus of all stripes (Sasaa’s Ghanaian peanut curry sl

It’s no secret that Berlin is a serious party city. Clubbing is taken seriously here, and the parties often start in the early hours of the morning and don’t finish for the next two days.

Berlin’s spas are second to none, and there’s everything from hot stone massages to lush spa days, as well as some quirkier offerings too, in true Berlin fashion (hello, musical aromatherapy). There’s so many ways to relax, rejuvenate and chill TF out here, you’ll forget that two-day hangover ever existed. Get yourself a city that does both, we say. Here are the best spas in Berlin right now.  RECOMMENDED:📍 The best things to do in Berlin🎨 The best art museums and galleries in Berlin🎒 The best Berlin tours for a hit of history🛏 The best hotels in Berlin Planning your next trip?
