Nørrebro

Nørrebro is a part of Copenhagen, just North of the city center from the small lakes, that might be associated with nice stores, riots, bohemic streets and charming, but worn buildings. It is a very multicultural area with many immigrants, especially from India, Turkey and Middle East, and a lot of punks and hipsters. Totally 72 000 people live in Nørrebro. Since the 2010s Nørrebro has been gentrified, new apartment buildings have been built as the 29 floors tall Nordbro highrise.

The intersection Nørrebros Runddel with the now torn down youth house to the left of the white building. The decision to tear down this meeting place for young people was probably the reason that caused the riots that has been much talked about in the media.

Nørrebrogade is the main street of Nørrebro. This is the part North of Runddelen.

Nørrebrogade has many bohemic and multicultural stores and restaurants. This is the south part.

Graffiti is common in Nørrebro. Bikes are also common, but not bike stands.

Nørrebrogade also has many modern supermarkets, like Brugsen and Kvickly.

The south part, next to Assistens Cemetery (left) is the part with the largest number of immigrant stores, many from Middle East.
