Christianshavntorv, the main square, and the Christianshavn Canal—you'll
find a number of lively neighborhood pubs and cafés.
Ravelinen Restaurant, on a tiny island on the big road 100 yards south of
Christianshavn, serves traditional Danish food at reasonable prices to happy
local crowds. Dine indoors or on the lovely lakeside terrace (which is tented
