Nørrebro is a true melting pot of all things delicious, fun, and vibrant. As Copenhagen's most culturally diverse neighborhood, this is both the place to go for shawarma, ramen, or a handful of tacos. Creativity and street culture is alive and well in this ever-buzzing slice of town, where independent shops line the streets and vibes are young at heart.
What to do:
- Take a walk at Assistens Cemetery: this is a popular walking spot where you will also find various celebs buried.
- Droning Louises Bro: the bridge between Copenhagen center and Nørrebro. There are always a lot of people on the bridge, and it is a great place to hang out
- Sankt Hans Torv: this cute square has a lot of cafés
- Elmegade: close to Sankt Hans Torv. Great shopping street for both streetwear and vintage shopping
- Blågårdsgade: a street where plenty great restaurants are placed

Expect hygge all year round and a down-to-earth atmosphere in this beautiful part of Copenhagen, which is technically a part of the city center, but definitely has its own distinct neighborhood feel. It is surrounded by water and has a calm feel to it.
- Goboat: rent a Goboat and take a cruise down the canals
- Krøyers Plads: square close to the water where people gather and relax. It is close to The Bridge Street Kitchen which both serves street food and drinks.
