Overview

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, and the group is never more than 12. We take the metro from Central Station (ticket included), 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.

Superkilen Park

This urban park is a celebration of diversity, split into three distinct zones: The Red Square (modern urban life), The Black Market (a classic neighborhood square with a Moroccan fountain), and The Green Park (perfect for a quick lounge on the grass). Keep an eye out for global design treasures here—everything from neon signs from Russia to swings from Iraq and manhole covers from Paris! The vibrant graffiti on its walls tells stories of resistance, hope, and unity, reflecting the spirit of the community and its dedication to expression and change.
