evolved into a trendy hotspot in recent years, offering a mix of specialty shops, cafés, bakery shops and restau rants. Vanløse Located on the western border of the City of Copenhagen, Vanløse is one of the city’s smallest districts in terms of inhabitants. Nevertheless, with Vanløse station offering both S-train and metro links to the rest of Copenhagen, accessibility has greatly improved. Next to the station lies Kronen Vanløse shopping centre, completed in October 2017. The first floor of the shopping centre is undergoing reconstruction. Today, Kronen Vanløse features some 60 shop units, including a Føtex supermarket, a fitness centre and some cafés. On upper floors, Kronen Vanløse features 118 residential units. Valby/Carlsberg City District The district of Valby is currently undergoing massive transformation, with former disused industrial facilities

giving way to new attractive mixed-use commercial and residential areas. In 2024, the former Ny Ellebjerg station, now renamed København Syd (Copenhagen South) will become a hub linking also to the Copenhagen Metro, further boosting developments in the area. In Valby, Spin deriet is a shopping centre located next to Valby station. Inaugurated in 2008, it incorporates the converted buildings of a cotton mill dating from 1907. Featuring 50+ shop units, including a Kvickly supermarket, and nine eateries, Spinderiet also offers office space and resi dential units. Most recently, in 2023, the shopping centre opened a two-storey McDonald's restaurant next to the square at Tingstedet. Bordering on Valby, Vesterbro and Frederiksberg, the Carlsberg City District is one of the most exciting urban development zones in Copenhagen with an emerging retail scene. The area has mainly attracted a number of speciality and design shops, all with a focus on sustaina bility and good quality.
