Baden Baden is Copenhagen's favourite record shop and whether your record collection rocks to post-rock, Gothic-rock or whatever-rock, then press Play and enter. If you were born in the 80s, got your first sampler when you were 13 and know how to beat-juggle then you probably also know Baden Baden. Since 1993 they have had an electronic section specializing in Hip-Hop, Drum'n'Bass, Detroit, Minimal and everything DJish. Most of the records here are strictly vinyl wax and imported.

Sparkling Jewellery |
Niels Hemmingsens Gade 4 Copenhagen 1153 Denmark +45 33 93 73 77 |
Dyrberg/Kern is a very popular brand of jewellery among Danish women. The real name should be 'bijouterie' everything in the shop is costume jewellery with imitation stones. The quality is really high, though, everything is cast and plated with a thin layer of silver or gold. The reason for the popularity is that even though everybody is aware of the jewellery being fake, it looks a million dollars anyway. The women wearing it feel good, the more so because the prices are not very high. Mainly young people are attracted to this brand, but it really suits any person who wants to create a little glamour. The walls of the shop are naked and white, creating a splendid environment for viewing everything. The style of the jewellery varies, but generally it is romantic, almost princess-like, even going towards the extraordinary, almost grotesque! Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Centre of all Train Traffic in Denmark |
Banegårdspladsen 4 Copenhagen 1577 Denmark +45 3314 0400 |
Hovedbanegården, the Grand Central Station, is the centre for all train traffic in Copenhagen as well as Denmark. From Central Station, you are able to travel to the forest as well as the beaches with the S-train. You will also find departures to most of the bigger cities of Europe, on ordinary trains. In 1911, the Central Station moved to its present location on Vesterbrogade, just across the road from Tivoli. The man behind this grand building was DSB's chief architect Henrik Wench. At the beginning of the 1990s, several fancy shops and cafés opened up in the arrival and departure hall, which lead to the creation of the shopping centre Hovedbanen. The ambience is very relaxed at Central Station, at any time of the day or year, with all kinds of people. Even the Royal Family have their own apartment at the Central Station, where they wait for their train to depart. There is a clock just inside the entrance; many people make arrangements to meet 'under the clock'. Review © 2007, Wcities |
