Where to Stay

Copenhagen is not the cheapest city to visit, and so hotel accommodation will not always be an affordable option.

Therefore Airbnb is the perfect solution. I found a lovely small flat in Nørrebro which become available after my first booking cancelled.

 

Where to Eat

Start your day with breakfast at The Laundromat Café. A retro café with a great diverse menu, a laundrette and a library of used books (surprisingly mostly in English)

Nørrebro boasts a wide range of dining options, from international cuisine to traditional Danish food. The area is known for its innovative eateries and food markets, such as the popular Nørrebro Food Market.

Enjoy lunch at La Esquina, with it’s cool, modern interiors and relaxed friendly staff.

End your evening at Nørrebro Bryghus. It might be the local microbrewery but you don’t have to love beer to enjoy the food or atmosphere. The restaurant balcony looks down over the brewery with the rustic beer kettles and storage tanks.

 

What to Do

Head to Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louise’s Bridge), grab a bench and do some people watching.

In addition to its food and nightlife, Nørrebro offers an eclectic mix of shops, including vintage stores, independent boutiques, and specialty shops. It’s a great place to find unique and interesting items.

Admire the wide variety of street art

Head to one of the small parks (or even a cemetery) and enjoy the fresh air and peace and quiet.

Nørrebro is well-connected to the rest of Copenhagen by public transport, including buses and the Metro. The area is also bike-friendly, with many residents using bicycles as their primary mode of transportation.
