Rigshospitalet, or simply Riget (as in Lars von Trier's mini-series The Kingdom) - is The Kingdom Hospital in Denmark, situated in Copenhagen. It is part of the Copenhagen University Hospital together with the faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.

Rigshospitalet's mission is to be Denmark's leading hospital for patients needing highly specialized treatment.. Rigshospitalet's main specialist role has been enhanced in recent years by the decision that it should serve as the host institution for many of Copenhagen's speciality departments. Because of this, other hospitals refer patients to Rigshospitalet for the unique expertise available there. Rigshospitalet’s neighbor, Panum Institute, houses the Health Sciences Faculty of Copenhagen University, and this proximity optimizes a close cooperation between the two in the fields of research and development. The Nordic Cochrane Centre and the University Centre for Nursing and Care Research is placed within Rigshospitalet.

Nyhavn (lit. "New Harbor") is a popular area in Copenhagen, Denmark with both locals and tourists. Starting from an old anchor at Kongens Nytorv, the street is lined with many small bars and restaurants facing out to a picturesque harbor. In warmer weather people fill every available table in the outdoors seating area in front of every restaurant. And even in cooler weather the heartier types sit outdoors with a beer and a blanket, provided by the restaurant on each seat, over their legs. While not extremely expensive, the restaurants are not cheap.

Less formal seating is on the edge of the harbour with bring-your-own beer. It is not uncommon to see groups of young people sitting along the waterfront with beer, enjoying the sunshine, the crowds and the street entertainment.

It is the starting point for various canal tour excursions, and is located near Kongens Nytorv, at one end of Strøget, and near the start of Langelinie, which leads to Amalienborg Palace.

Istedgade is a street located in the district of Vesterbro in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

Located west of Copenhagen Central Station, Istedgade is a 1 km straight street starting in the cheap hotel district, moving through the porn and drugs area to modern Vesterbro where 1900's tenement style blocks have undergone significant modernization and the street now cuts through one of the hippest neighbourhoods in Copenhagen. It is generally considered the main traffic artery and the heart of Vesterbro.

The lewd part of Istedgade has for many years constituted its image along with the local residents' views of themselves as true working class, united under the 1940's slogan "Istedgade overgiver sig aldrig!", Istedgade will never surrender!

Today, as almost all of Istedgade and with it Vesterbro has undergone a gentrification. Hip stores and cool cafes abound while real estate prices have risen faster than in most of Copenhagen.
