Pisserenden: Indre By's quiet corners
The alley quarter Strøget's pedestrianisation passed over — design shops, small cafés, cobbled squares. This is a Claude-drafted route awaiting the editor's walk.

1. Nørreport
Cityringen and S-tog at the busiest transit knot in town. Walk south on *Frederiksborggade*, then cut west into *Pisserenden* via *Sankt Peders Stræde* — the cathedral's tower is the landmark.

2. Vor Frue Plads + the Cathedral
*Vor Frue Kirke* (Copenhagen Cathedral) is C.F. Hansen's 1829 neoclassical rebuild after the British navy bombarded the medieval cathedral into ruins in September 1807. Free entry. Bertel Thorvaldsen's *Christus* in the apse and the twelve apostles around the nave are the architectural payoff — *Christus* is the most-copied religious sculpture of the 19th century.

3. Larsbjørnsstræde
The first proper Pisserenden alley going west from the cathedral. Design shops, the *Hay House* flagship of the Danish furniture brand, a few small ceramicists and clothing makers. Walk slowly; the alley pace is the point.

4. Studiestræde
Parallel and one block south. The second-hand bookshops cluster here, and the cafés where locals actually drink — three tables on cobbles, no signage to speak of, an espresso machine doing the work. Names turn over; the format is stable.

5. Gråbrødretorv
Grey Friars' Square, on the site of the 13th-c Franciscan monastery (the friars wore grey, hence the name). Cobbled square ringed with cafés that put benches outside in summer. Quiet on weekday mornings; busy on weekend evenings.

6. Rådhuspladsen
Cityringen at the city hall square. The walk's endpoint, five minutes south of Gråbrødretorv via *Frederiksberggade* — yes, you're crossing the western end of *Strøget* on the way down.
