Exploring nightlife in Denmark and Iceland

I’ve heard that Copenhagen is one of the most expensive city in the world, but I’ve also read that a survey showed that Danish people occupy the first position for happiness ranking. It reflects that they are the happiest people in the world. The contradiction attracts me to see how actually life in Denmark is.

After conducting some online research, I’ve learned that Danish people love music, any music from folk, jazz, blues, rock to pop. It can be seen from the night life with various type of music genre they have there. As the capital city, Copenhagen is a city of all-night-long party. It offers plenty of good hangout options, from old-fashioned Danish pubs to trendy fusion cafes. And for free entertainment, we can simply stroll along Strøget, especially between Nytorv and Höjbro Plads, where you can see musicians, magicians, jugglers and other street performers in the late afternoon and evening.

And if we really want to enjoy brisk nightlife, while we are still in the north, we can go the Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland. The city is known as the nightlife capital of the north. Every night you can try different places to hang out, because there are more than 100 different bars and clubs in Reykjavik.
