Lift the lid on Copenhagen’s trendy and diverse Nørrebro neighborhood on this 4-hour food and culture walking tour. With a local guide, explore this ultra-cool district and foodie hotspot, and discover how urban planning and green spaces have made it one of Copenhagen’s most vibrant areas. Visit its chic main artery, Jægersborggade, admire its leafy courtyards and innovative parks, and on route, sample local specialities such as fresh bread, homemade chocolate and craft beer at its artisanal foodie haunts. Numbers are limited to 12 for a more personalized experience.
Meet your guide near Dronning Louises Bro, a bridge linking central Copenhagen with upbeat Nørrebro. See the stream of passing cyclists and learn how the bridge is one of the world’s busiest cycle routes, as well as one of Copenhagen’s favorite hangouts.
Absorb the buzzy atmosphere and then set off to explore Nørrebro's diverse and lively streets. Learn how it began as crafts workers’ settlement outside Copenhagen’s walls, and how, in the 1800s, the city's working class moved in, living in tenement blocks built around courtyards. Hear how this changed in the 1990s, when clever urban planning and the introduction of green spaces regenerated the area and turned the courtyards into leafy gardens.
Admire one of the largest courtyards and walk to Blågårds Plads, one of Nørrebro’s main squares. Learn about its significance and stroll through 18th-century Assistens Cemetery, where many famous Danes are buried, including Hans Christian Andersen.
On your travels, enjoy up to three stops to sample delicious local specialities, many with a trademark Nørrebro quirk. Samples may vary, but treats may include freshly roasted coffee from a specialist roaster, homemade chocolate and fresh-from-the-oven bread made to a secret recipe at an artisanal bakery.
Pass Nørrebro Park as your guide explains its previously shady reputation, and explore Jægersborggade, a vibrant avenue brim with independent design shops and eateries, including a Michelin-starred restaurant and a kebab joint frequented by Copenhagen’s celebrity chefs.
Visit the popular Mikkeller Bar to sample a locally brewed beer and see Superkilen public park, a modern space that celebrates Nørrebro’s ethnic diversity with three eye-catching zones.
End your tour with a last culinary treat at a tucked-away eatery. Soak up the hygge — the Danish concept best translated as coziness — and then leave your guide. If you wish, ask them for tips on local dinner spots if you fancy staying on in the area.
