Nørrebro, District in Copenhagen, Denmark
Nørrebrogade, the main street of this district, extends through a network of residential buildings, shops, and international restaurants along 4.1 square kilometers.
The area transformed from countryside to urban district after 1852 when Copenhagen removed its demarcation line, leading to rapid construction and population growth.
The district holds the Assistens Cemetery, where Danish luminaries Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard rest among green pathways and stone monuments.
Nørrebro station connects travelers to central Copenhagen through regular train service, while bicycle lanes provide direct access to the city center.
The district contains Superkilen Park, which incorporates objects from 60 different nations, reflecting the international character of its 80,000 residents.

Copenhagen brings together centuries of history with recent construction in a walkable city by the water. Nyhavn lines the harbor with narrow houses painted in strong colors, where wooden ships dock beside outdoor cafes. The Little Mermaid sits on a rock at the edge of the sound, a bronze figure that has drawn visitors since the early 20th century. Christiansborg Palace rises near the old city center, while Amalienborg forms a royal residence around an octagonal plaza. The Opera House stands across the harbor with a flat, cantilevered roof, and The Black Diamond adds a modern glass facade to the Royal Library. Further out, The Blue Planet aquarium curves along the coast in Ørestad, and the VM Houses show angular residential design in the same district. Parks and gardens spread across the city, offering green space and different moods. The Botanical Garden collects plants from around the world under glass domes and in open beds. Superkilen Park stretches through the Nørrebro neighborhood with colored surfaces and objects gathered from many countries. King's Garden surrounds Rosenborg Castle with tree-lined paths and lawns where people sit in warm weather. Assistens Cemetery lies quiet among the streets, used both as a burial ground and a place to walk. Tivoli Gardens mixes rides, stages, and flower beds in the center of the city. Strøget runs as a long pedestrian street through the old town. Freetown Christiania remains a self-governed neighborhood with painted buildings and its own rules. Dragør preserves old fishing cottages and cobblestones just outside the capital.
