Farimagsgade

'West, North and East Farimagsgade') is a succession of streets which together connect the south-western Vesterbro to the northern Østerbro along the periphery of the city centre in Copenhagen, Denmark.

A continuation of Reventlowsgade, Vester Farimagsgade extends from Vesterbrogade at Vesterport Station and initially runs along the sunken railway tracks on the left before soon reaching H. C. Andersens Boulevard.

[1] Since heavy restrictions on construction of new buildings outside the fortifications within a certain distance known a Line of Demarcation were introduced in 1661 following the Assault on Copenhagen, the road passed through a decidedly rural setting.

The first major building to go up along the road was the Copenhagen Municipal Hospital, built from 1859 to 1863 to the design of Christian Hansen who had returned from Greece a few years earlier.

[clarification needed] The Danish Technological Institute's original home is located at the corner of H. C. Andersens Boulevard (Staunings Plads 1–3).

The last section of the street passes the terraced housing development Kartoffelrækkerne (The Potato Rows) which was built by the Worker's Building Society between 1873 and 1889.
