Cycling

The "little Herakles" with a fountain by the sculptor Rasmus Harboe was erected in 1915. The Elias Church behind it stands out with its massive masonry and large stone staircase. The church, which opened in 1908, became necessary after the massive population growth in the Vesterbro district. It has space for 800 people and is the home of the Vesterbro Gospel Choir. Jazz church services are held regularly and every Tuesday afternoon (March-July and Sep-Dec) there is a half hour of jazz at 5 p.m.

Nice place to stay near the Det Ny Teater with places to stop at the Heracles Fountain.
