  • Walking

    Curfew is centrally positioned along one of Vesterbro’s main arteries, just a short stroll from popular squares and the main rail hub. Expect a 5–10 minute walk from the heart of Vesterbro, navigating lively streets lined with independent boutiques and cafés. The bar’s entrance is intentionally discreet, set within a row of historic buildings, so keeping an eye out for its understated door is essential.

    A taxi ride from central Vesterbro’s hotels or the main train station typically takes under 5 minutes. Fares within the district are usually DKK 70–110, depending on traffic and time. There is only limited curbside parking nearby, so taxis are often the preferred option for a hassle-free arrival.

  • Public Transport

Alight close to one of the area’s cafe-filled junctions; from there, Curfew’s dimly-lit entrance is tucked among the neighborhood’s 19th-century facades.
