Catch the train into the city center and step off at the Central Station, and you’ll be looking straight at Strøget, the city’s principal pedestrian zone where you can people-watch and shop for Dansk wares and street styles. Or, head over to Åboulevarden, just to the north, a strip lined with restaurants, cafés, bars and discos humming with uni students and a youthful verve. At Den Gamle By, the Old Town here, you can wander in an open-air museum amid half-buried long-houses and millennia-old Viking relics; and at the ARoS art museum you can eye-pop as you take in Ron Mueck’s striking, 16-foot-high sculpture of a crouching boy and Olafur Eliasson’s Rainbow – a 500-foot-long circular walkway that runs along the roofline and offers up a fabulous panorama of the city in its rainbow-colored glass panels. Totally wild.
