Everything in this city is worth seeing at least once. Christiania is a great place to be any day of the week. Tuesdays at the gay and lesbian night at Rosie McGees, Wednesdays at Studenterhuset for the International Cafe, thursdays, fridays and saturday, too many options to write here.

the club "Vega" is always a good choice and free before one student house on Wednesdays for meeting international students the "Istedgade" in Vesterbro is the street with my favorite cafes and bars and of course there is Christiania as a place that should definitely not be missed

I should had tried to take some danish classes. that is the thing I regret the most of my period of studies in Copenhagen. I just learnt some basic sentences with the locals. Regarding English, it was obviously a chance to improve it as the Danes are quite proficient in speaking it.
