Your own local host and only your group, up to 15 guests, at 9:00 or 11:00. Why are Danes among the happiest people in the world? Find out on a walk through Nørrebro with a local friend. Your host is a Copenhagener who has lived here for many years. We take the metro from Central Station, cross Superkilen park, browse Jægersborggade's small shops and visit Assistens Cemetery, where Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard are buried. Along the way you hear how the welfare state grew out of this working-class neighbourhood, and why trust, community and free time matter so much to Danes.
We end at a lakeside café in Ørstedsparken with coffee or tea and a Danish pastry: a taste of how Danes take time together. Bring your questions. A conversation, not just a lecture.
