Itinerary
Start: Copenhagen Central Station,
Copenhagen Central Station, Bernstorffsgade 16, 1577 Copenhagen, Denmark
We will meet under the large round clock in the main hall of Copenhagen Central Station. Please arrive at the meeting point approximately 10 minutes early.
Blågårdsgade
Blågårdsgade is the heart and soul of Nørrebro, a lively street where cobblestones, cosy cafés and a colourful cultural mix create a truly local atmosphere. Here you’ll find independent shops, creative studios, street art and a relaxed everyday vibe that shows why this part of Copenhagen is so loved by locals.
Folkets Park
Folkets Park is a small green oasis in the heart of Nørrebro, shaped by local communities and known for its graffiti, creativity, and strong sense of togetherness. At the center of the park stands Folkets Hus, a cultural landmark that has long served as a gathering place for people fighting for social and political rights.
Your host will share engaging stories about the park’s role in local movements and how activism from this very spot has contributed to real change in Danish society. You’ll get a unique glimpse into the struggles and grassroots efforts that helped shape many of the rights we rely on today.
Kapelvej 44
Kapelvej 44 is a true community anchor and creative landmark in Nørrebro. This cultural house brings together local art, political expression and bold graffiti, showcasing the neighborhood’s edge, energy and inventive spirit.
Over the years, it has been a gathering point for cultural events, social activism and grassroots movements that have influenced both Nørrebro, Copenhagen and Denmark as a whole. The colourful graffiti on its walls carries stories of resistance, hope and solidarity, reflecting the community’s strong voice and its commitment to creativity, expression and change.
H.C. Andersen’s grave
H.C. Andersen’s grave is one of the most visited spots in Assistens Kirkegård, a historic cemetery and peaceful green refuge in the heart of Nørrebro. Surrounded by tall trees and quiet pathways, his resting place draws visitors from all over the world who come to pay tribute to Denmark’s most beloved storyteller.
While the site is deeply connected to Andersen’s legacy, it also sits within a cemetery that locals use as a recreational space, blending history, everyday life and reflection. Nearby you’ll also find the graves of other notable Danes, including philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, making this place a unique combination of cultural heritage and serene urban nature.
Jægersborggade
A vibrant street lined with gourmet restaurants, cosy coffee shops and small artisan boutiques, Jægersborggade is one of Nørrebro’s most iconic destinations. It’s known for its creative, slightly bohemian atmosphere, where chefs, designers and makers have turned the street into a hotspot for food lovers, trendsetters and anyone curious about Copenhagen’s modern urban culture. From Michelin-recommended dining to handmade ceramics and specialty coffee, this street captures the very best of Nørrebro’s innovative spirit and local charm.
Stefansgade
A charming and picturesque street with a mix of local shops, small bakeries and a warm, laid-back atmosphere. Stefansgade is known for its strong community feel, where neighbours chat on the sidewalks and independent businesses thrive. With Stefanskirken just around the corner, the area has a cosy, village-like vibe right in the middle of Nørrebro. It’s a true hidden gem that shows the quieter, more intimate side of the neighbourhood.
Friheden Bar, Café and Restaurant
We finish our Danish Happiness tour with a relaxed break at Friheden, a welcoming neighbourhood bar tucked inside the lively Nørrebroparken. This cosy spot reflects the true spirit of the area with its casual atmosphere, creative crowd and strong ties to the local community. Surrounded by the park’s greenery, playful energy and everyday life, it’s an inviting place to unwind, chat and soak up the final impressions of Nørrebro. A perfect ending to a day filled with stories, culture and local charm.

Tour guide was wonderful and we enjoyed our tour very much
I booked this tour because I wanted to see a less touristy part of Copenhagen, and I’m so glad I did! I was the only person on the tour on a rainy, blustery morning (kudos to the tour company for not canceling.) The Norrebro neighborhood was very cool to see and explore. The best part of the tour was the guide, Maybritt. She was engaging…
We had a great walking tour with Michael our guide. It was just my wife and me with him. Copenhagen is a beautiful city but with Michael we got to know one of the neighborhoods but more importantly about the culture and the people. This really helped us understand why Denmark is always rated as one of the most happy countries.
I really enjoyed our walk!! It was a very unique and interesting experience to walk all these streets that has so much history and at the same time it’s bringing so much growth for the people in Copenhagen. Michael is very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly to be able for us to have a better understanding the soul of…
Amazing tour! Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to know the culture and people who live in Copenhagen. Maybe (misspelled her nane) was fabulous.
Morton is an excellent guide, we had a wonderfu timel, learned a lot and loved the extra treats. Morton covered all the important geographical points and was really well informed. His explanation of the philosophical points about happiness was clear and very accesable. Bottom line, great and a must do with this company.
