===Nightlife and festivals=== [[File:Copenhagen Pride 2008 i.JPG|thumb|right|Copenhagen [[Pride Parade]], 2008]] Copenhagen has one of the highest number of restaurants and bars per capita in the world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Scandinavia: Copenhagen, the alternative side|url=https://www.worldhotels.com/travel-stories/scandinavia-copenhagen-the-alternative-side|website=worldhotels.com|publisher=Worldhotels|access-date=16 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160504234056/https://www.worldhotels.com/travel-stories/scandinavia-copenhagen-the-alternative-side|archive-date=4 May 2016}}</ref> The nightclubs and bars stay open until 5 or 6 in the morning, some even longer. Denmark has a very liberal alcohol culture and a strong tradition for beer breweries, although binge drinking is frowned upon and the Danish Police take [[driving under the influence]] very seriously.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/R0710.aspx?id=143400|title=Færdselsloven – Bekendtgørelse af færdselsloven|publisher=retsinformation.dk|access-date=9 March 2013|archive-date=28 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191228175228/https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/R0710.aspx?id=143400|url-status=live}}</ref> Inner city areas such as [[Istedgade]] and [[Enghave Plads]] in Vesterbro, [[Sankt Hans Torv]] in Nørrebro and certain places in Frederiksberg are especially noted for their [[nightlife]].
