Depends on what you're looking for. Studiestræde and Gothersgade are two of the main streets if you just want to get hammered. Not my type of places. There's a placed called Brus in Nørrebro that I go to - really good beer - spacious too. Pub & Sport by City Hall is a sports bar with pool, darts etc. There's a chain called Madklubben (The Food Club) that has a lot of different type of restaurants. Usually 3 course meal for 300 Danisk Kroner (great food for the price) |

Off-license is not really a thing here. You can buy alcohol in every kiosk and drink it on the streets. Mikkeller beers are getting pretty famous worldwide. Don't care for Tuborg or Carlsberg myself, too bland. Or maybe "Ale number 16" - good autumn beer. |

| Managed to buy one on that DBA site yesterday. 405kr for Section C7. Sent him a Danish message using Google translate and gave a Danish name. The ad is still up so i’m afraid he’s selling multiple copies of the e-ticket because he’s charging much less than all the rest on the site.

Thanks for checking. Will be sitting there on my tod at 6 with my red scarf pretending to be a local just in case anyway  .Definately worth keeping an eye out on that site for more tickets but i’d say they’re more liable to sell if they think you’re Danish.Also insist on PayPal so your payment is covered. I’d say the prices will drop on DBA closer to the match-some listings have been up for a few days so there mustn’t be much interest at those prices from the locals. You can go the Viagogo route-guaranteed ticket and less hassle but you’re gonna be paying at least double or treble the price.

It's also of a more English design - with separate stands on each side of the pitch. Unfortunately it's not like the Aviva where you can pretty much walk the whole way round the stadium within the concourse. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |
