Nørrebro

A diverse and exciting district

Noteworthy for: Much of the smash hit TV series 'The Killing' was filmed here.
If you moved to Copenhagen, you'd probably want to live in Nørrebro. Situated north-west of Indre By, it vies with Vesterbro as the city's hippest area: laid back, creative and multicultural (the latter not common in Denmark). True, it's slightly rough around the edges, but not nearly as dodgy as its local nickname, Nørrebronx, would suggest.

The area's main artery is Nørrebrogade, off which you'll find streets crammed with independent shops - try Ravnsborggade for antiques and don't miss the buzzing Jægersborggade, one of Copenhagen's coolest streets. There are a host of great restaurants and bars too - head for Sankt Hans Torv - as well as more kebab shops than you might think possible.
On Saturdays during the summer, a big flea market runs alongside the Assistens Cemetery; the leafy burial ground, final home of Hans Christian Anderson and Kirkegaard, is worth a visit in its own right.
