3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Discover diverse and colourful Nørrebro – Copenhagen's old working-class district and today’s heart of alternative culture. Learn about its eventful history, its politically engaged and multicultural inhabitants, and why it was recently deemed one the “coolest neighbourhoods in the world”.

This 3 hour bike tour will take you through one of Copenhagen’s liveliest districts. Nørrebro is home to people from all over the world, and is brimming with art, food, youth culture, and political history.

Amongst many other things, you’ll learn why one particular housing ground has remained empty, visit a time traveler’s grave, hear the backstory of a heart made of guns, and cycle down the most frequented biking lane in town. If you want to get into the quirky part of Copenhagen, this tour is a good start.

    A cemetery that is also a park.

    Until the turn of the millennium, this was quite a rough neighborhood, with prostitution, drugs and shootings. Now it is one of the nicest shopping streets in the city.

    Nørrebro Parken follows the old railway route (1886 - 1930) between Nørrebro and Frederiksberg. Now there is a long separate cycle route, also called Den Grønne Sti

    An empty place as a point of interest, that requires some explanation. Jagtvej stands like a pulled tooth in an otherwise fine jaw. Like a rotten apple in a basket full of goodies.
