Norrebro District Copenhagen

Situated in the north west of the cool city of Copenhagen, Nørrebro has not traditionally been on many tourist itineraries. Previously a little…..how shall we say it….dodgy, this area is being regenerated into an amazing place to explore.

It might be a bit of a trek from the centre of Copenhagen – Indre By – but it is well worth a look. You will find Norrebro about 30 minutes’ walk from the centre, or you can get one of the local busses (the 5C for example) up to the centre of Nørrebro.

The Jægersborggade area of Nørrebro is a prime example of this transformation. Previously a place you would not like to wander around in at night, Jægersborggade is now a street full of interesting one of a kind boutiques, little cafes and art shops.

If you are into vintage clothing and rummaging around for a special bargain, head to the Ravnsborggade where you will find a wide range of second hand shops.

Nørrebro: what type of travellers will enjoy this area?
