Nørrebro is Copenhagen’s most vibrant and multicultural neighbourhood. At least that is what I think. Heavy renovation (which included the demolition of decayed housing blocks en masse) and the slow decline of the production industry have in the last decades radically changed the social and cultural fabric of this former working class neighbourhood. The working class community moved out and immigrants, young families and students moved in giving new life to the neighbourhood. I belong to the latter group and Nørrebro has now for years been my home and the place where I do all my daily routines. In the following, I will take you on a tour through my favourite parts of Copenhagen’s most populous and manifold neighbourhood to give you an idea of what this place is all about and why I have decided to live here.

We start our tour where Nørrebrogade meets Ravnsborggade near to the lakes.
