Danish-Japanese singer-songwriter Mina Okabe grew up in London, New York and Manila, before choosing to settle in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen

"There's a wine bar in Vesterbro: Vores Vinbar, which is basically ‘our wine bar’ in English. It is a small, cozy wine bar that's not too expensive compared to a lot of other wine bars in Copenhagen. The people are super nice and friendly, and it’s a really nice atmosphere."

"There's a park called Kongens Have, which is basically in the center of the city. That's a really nice place to visit, especially during summer — there are a lot of people having picnics or playing games, and there’s a really nice vibe."

"I'm really excited about this one! Byhaven in Vesterbro is an outdoor venue. There's a small stage and it's free entry, and there's a bar where you can buy beers and food. I love it because they have a bunch of upcoming artists, so it's a really great way to discover new music."

"I love Vega. It has three different stages, and it’s a really nice place to see concerts. I've also played there. It is a really pretty place. A lot of people say that Vega is their favorite place to see concerts because it has such a nice atmosphere."

"Absalon in Vesterbro is a really fun place. They have a bunch of events — you can sign up to yoga, make pottery, paint. They also have a bar, and fællesspisning, which is like dinner. They have a bunch of long tables and a lot of young people eat there, because it's not too expensive. It's a really cozy place to gather."
