Frederiksberg

Frederiksberg is situated just next to Copenhagen's city center, but it is runned like an own city with its own city hall even though it is so integrated with Copenhagen that you wont even notice when you enter Frederiksberg. With 91 000 inhabitants, Fredriksberg is Denmark´s 5th largest local authority. Frederiksberg is very diverse with its royal garden and castle, parks, hilly streets, tall modernist highrises, mansions, a long avenue, the zoo and typical Copenhagen stores and buildings. Frederiksberg Allé is the main boulevard that goes through this community.

This summer day it was time to graduate for many students, so all over the city you could see crazy teens in military vehicles!

Can a restaurant be more typical Danish?

This is a labyrinth next to Pile Allé that you could get lost in. It can take some time to find the core.


Pile Allé with its typical Danish houses. Old cars can be seen everywhere in Copenhagen.


At the entrance to Copenhagen Zoo, bordering Frederiksberg Have, is a neat Eiffel
Tower immitation in wood that I had never seen before. Even if it looks tall, it only
reaches up to the top of the foot of the real Eiffel Tower.
