Student House. It's a cafe at night, wednesday nights is International Students night. It's a great place, with a good atmosphere and room to dance. They play popular music. Club Cavy. Is a pretty fancy place, filled with beautiful people. A lot of students (Danish/international) go there on thursdays. They play mostly R&B music. Dakota. It's a club/cafe. Is a great place too with good atmosphere. Vega. It's a big club that is well known club in Copenhagen. Rust is a good cafe as well. There are plenty of nice pubs in the city centre, e.g. Old English Pub, Kennedy's, Shamrock, Mojo bar. What you should do is visit the amusement park Tivoli when the season starts again. Copenhagen has a lot of parks and museums. There are also nice museums outside of Copenhagen, e.g. a castle in Hellsingor and the modern art musuem in Louisiana.
