Overview

  • Uncover why Time Out Magazine named Nørrebro the world’s coolest area on this immersive walking tour. To go like a local, you and your personal host will hop on the modern metro, heading straight into Nørrebro.

    Throughout the experience, you'll explore the roots of the World Happiness Index, discovering how Denmark's renowned welfare system was shaped by Nørrebro's historic working-class struggles. Midway through the walk, we’ll pause at a local spot to recharge with a delicious Danish pastry. Next, we'll stroll through Assistens Cemetery to view the graves of iconic Danes, including the legendary fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen.

    After taking in the colourful street art and unique atmosphere of bustling streets like Jægersborggade and Blågårdsgade, we'll head towards the city centre. We conclude the tour at Flindt & Ørsted inside the beautiful, romantic Ørstedsparken, where you can unwind over a relaxing coffee break right by the scenic, ancient defence moat.

Activity itinerary

Banegårdspladsen 7

  • 5m
We begin our journey in the bustling heart of Copenhagen’s historic Central Station. Standing beneath the legendary, massive wooden arches and the station's iconic meeting clock, you will feel the pulse of the city as locals go by. Here, we gather for a brief introduction before heading straight to the platforms to catch our modern and self driving metro.

Nørrebro St. (Nørrebrogade)

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
We will go like a local and take the clean, modern, and self-driving metro from the meeting point to Nørrebro Station. The 10-minute ride is included in your ticket, making it the perfect, hassle-free way to start our area adventure.

Superkilen Park

  • 5m
This urban park is a celebration of diversity, split into three distinct zones: The Red Square (modern urban life), The Black Market (a classic area square with a Moroccan fountain), and The Green Park (perfect for a quick lounge on the grass). Keep an eye out for global design treasures here—everything from neon signs from Russia to swings from Iraq and manhole covers from Paris! The vibrant graffiti on its walls tells stories of resistance, hope, and unity, reflecting the spirit of the community and its dedication to expression and change.

Stefansgade

  • 5m
A picturesque street offering a mix of local shops, bakeries, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Known for its community feel and its proximity to Stefanskirken, it’s a true hidden gem in Nørrebro.

Jaegersborggade

  • 5m
A vibrant street filled with gourmet restaurants, cosy coffee shops, and artisan boutiques. Known for its creative atmosphere, this is the perfect spot for foodies and trendsetters.

Assistens Cemetery

  • 5m
A historic cemetery and recreational area. The final resting place of famous figures like H.C. Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard.

Folkets Park (Pass by)

Folkets Park is a green breathing space in Nørrebro, created by local residents and shaped by graffiti, creativity and a strong sense of community. At its centre stands Folkets Hus, a gathering place where people have spent decades working for social and political rights. Along the way, your guide shares stories about the park and the house, and how grassroots movements from this very spot have helped spark changes in Danish society. Here we get a close and personal insight into the struggles that helped shape the rights we enjoy today.

Blågårdsgade

  • 5m
The heart and soul of Nørrebro, with cobblestone streets, charming cafés, and a vibrant, cultural vibe.

Dronning Louises Bro

  • 5m
Experience the unique energy where cyclists, street artists, and locals gather.

Oerstedsparken

  • 20m
We conclude our happiness tour with the ultimate lesson in hygge at Flindt & Ørsted, a café nestled inside the beautiful Ørstedsparken. This historic oasis, built on Copenhagen’s old fortification walls, is just a 10-minute stroll from the city centre. Sitting by the picturesque lake (a remnant of the ancient city moat) surrounded by lush greenery, it is the perfect local spot to unwind, enjoy a drink, and experience the exact work-life balance that makes Danes so happy.
