Copenhagen/Nørrebro

Nørrebro is an inner district of Copenhagen and perhaps the most multicultural part of the city. A prime cross-section of contemporary Danish society is on offer here, ranging from boutique shopping to grand middle-class areas through to areas (re-)vitalised by immigration.

A view across the Sortedams Sø lake into Nørrebro.

The many Middle Eastern immigrants in the area around Nørrebrogade, the district's main road artery, have led to the area being called Little Arabia. Unfortunately, this epithet is more racist than celebratory - regardless of this, the area makes for a lively excursion. There are many clothing, jewelry and grocery stores carrying Arabian signs and products - not to forget the multitude of cheap shawarma places offering a cheap bite of Middle Eastern cuisine. The Muslim attitude to alcohol aside, the multiculturalism is very visible, in that the nightlife here is very vibrant - especially the southern part of the district near the Lakes, around Sankt Hans Torv.

The northwestern part of the district across the S-train tracks, sometimes known as Bispebjerg, but more often simply referred to as Nord-Vest (North West), is one of - probably even the - last bastion of working class Copenhageners. Don't expect much in the way of sights, fancy cafes, stores or anything like that, but if nothing else, it offers a peak into some of the not-so-rich and not-so-equal lives of those living in one of the richest and most equal societies in the world. Two of the cheapest accommodation options of Copenhagen are located here

Get in

By train

While a Metro line is on the drawing board, for the moment Nørrebro is poorly served by rail. The S-train system's ring line F runs along the northern border of the district, with two stops Bispebjerg which is not really interesting attraction wise, and the district's namesake station Nørrebro which lies at the northern end of Nørrebrogade. The most common option is to take the train or Metro to Nørreport station, and walk from there, or catch one of the frequent buses running along Nørrebrogade.

By bus

• 3A Sets of at Nordhavn Station on Østerbro and enter Nørrebro on Tagensvej with stops at Sankt Hans Torv, Nørrebrogade and Stengade. From there it continues across to Frederiksberg, doing a loop around the center, before terminating in Sydhavnen.
• 4A Also does a half loop around the city center, serving the northern part of Nørrebro with several stops, from its northern terminus at Svannemøllen station. The most important stops being Nørrebro station and Lundtoftegade, before it too crosses Åboulevarden and enters Frederiksberg. It continues its loop all the way to Amager
• 5A If your accommodation is on Nørrebro, this line is the best option, as it sets out from the Airport, and runs through the Inner City, stopping at Nørreport station for interchange with the Metro and S-Train lines. It continues through the length of Nørrebrogade, with stops at Elmegade and Ravnsborggade (for shopping), Nørrebro's runddel square, Nørrebro Station (For interchange with S-train line F, and Bellahøj (for the Camping and Youth hostel accommodation). It terminates at Husum torv in the northern suburbs.
• 6A Has very little use for tourists, it runs between Rødovre and Emdrup through the inner city, with stops at Tagensvej and Bispebjerg station on Nørrebro.
• 350S Is an express line running between Ballerup in the northern suburbs, and the lovely village of Dragør on Amager. It is one of the two buslines serving the length of Nørrebrogade, with the same major stops as line 5A

By foot

Nørrebro lies a within a manageable walking distance from Nørreport station, and the northern entry point to Strøget. Walk in North-eastern direction down Frederiksborggade, until you reach the bridge across the lakes, once you've passed it, you're on Nørrebro.

Get around

Most of the interesting places on Nørrebro are concentrated southern part of the district, nearest to the city center, so it is easy to get around to the various sights on foot, or even better, on bike as the locals do. Bus lines 5A and 350S runs the length of Nørrebrogade, the major artery, if your feet gives up on you.
