What a wonderful bridge! Connecting Nørrebro with Frederiksberg. Made In Poland…read more This bridge is meant to be something like welcome gate to the city Centre. The bridge is only for pedestrians and bikers. I live nearby, so sometimes I come here just to look at how the people are running here and there. You can also watch the sunset from here...

Mixed feelings is not the word, Blågårdsgade is the essential part of my love or hatred towards…read moreNørrebro. Back in the 90ties I were studying Geography, and we were making a analysis of the street. It had been a vibrant street in a working class area with all kinds of shopping. The street died, and it raised again like a phoenix. All the essential shopping is back, but it's a hipster community. Fortunately a lot of the housing in the area is non-profite, so the area known as The Black Square is still black by it's emigrants and drunks. You can also spot a student or two. In the street you can buy to expensive coffee, support Islamic extremists, have icecreme, buy clothing, hang out with cheap beer, or do what you want. We're inclusive at Blågårdsgade. Just remember we live here, and you're a probably a guest.

A great area that embodies Inner Nørrebro perfectly. A lot of Danes (including those "with another…read moreethnic background than Danish," as ethnic Danes would say), international hipsters, and immigrants like me hang out here. Although the street itself is dirty, the shop fronts are colourful and attractive and the graffiti is cool (NOT the tagging). Why are we all hanging out here? Because there is something for everyone. Blågårds Apoteket for the older day-drinking crowd, Harbo Bar for the hipsters, Beyti for drunks in need of a meal, and Cafe N for the vegetarians. Obviously these divisions are not cut and dried and of course there are also some places with a mostly mixed demographic like Props, Hind Marked, or the library. Although this street has had a troubled past, it is a nice blend now and when I'm here I feel at home. It's especially great when there is a block party or fleamarket going on. Definitely check it out if you are visiting Copenhagen, just stay out of the way of cyclists. Eat: Bluetaco, Ahaaa, Beyti, Kimia Drink: Harbo Bar, Blågårds Apoteket, Props Shop: Hind Marked, Insula Music, Blågårds Blomster Hang: Støberiet, Harbo Bar, Arabica

How I love hanging out here :-) I've lost count of the numerous times I've sat on the stairs drinking wine and overlooking my favourite city lake. It's a great place to chill, drink wine, do a spontaneous picnic or just for people watching.

I did not know about this museum before I began my day visiting the Frederiksberg area. But after a…read morevisit to the Storm P. Museet enlightened me to the circle of museums in the area, I saw the historical home on the list. And I am a sucker for an historical home! The entrance is a little unassuming and I probably would have missed it, had it not been for the easy-to-follow directions from the lovely woman at the Storm P. museum. There was a tent-sign outside advertising their "Women Authors" exhibit, but it was all in Danish, and the name of the museum was one of the smallest things on the sign. I was about to walk on past it, but the words "Jane Austen" caught my eye when I skimmed the sign while walking. And then I saw at the tippy-top the name of the museum. It is absolutely charming. AND included with the Copenhagen Card! At the entrance desk, you can get a packet that has a map of the layout of the house, as well as general information about each of the rooms in English (thank youuuu!). The home was a private residence to a family that were lovers and supporters of the literary and artistic community in the early 1800s. Several prominent authors (including one Hans Christian Andersen) were visitors. Like I said, I love an historic home, so even without that prominence, old books and old furniture and original fixtures fascinate and are of interest to me! Everything was in good condition and lovely to see. Upstairs was the special "Women Authors" exhibit. Unfortunately, all the information up there was in Danish. But, you know....the museum *IS* in Denmark, so I can't really complain. There were some Austen-esque clothing pieces that were fun to see. And beyond all that, outside the house is surrounded by lovely, very well-kept gardens. In the old greenhouse/orangery there is a little cafe. It was painfully charming. If you are in the Frederiksberg area, and you have the time, I would absolutely recommend that you visit this home and museum. But if these things just aren't for you...pass it by.

Nørrebrogade is the main street in the old working class neighbourhood Nørrebro. Like most old…read moreworking class neighbourhoods has Nørrebrogade undergone a gentrification the last 20 years. Fortunately the neighbourhood fights back and hipsters have not overtaken Nørrebro. Nørrebrogade is a very vibrant example. Because of Nørrebro's many social housing estates the neighbourhood is still one of the areas in Denmark with the lowest income. Nørrebrogade still is a shopping street, where you can do most of your shopping without getting riped. The part of the street closest to Indre By (the central part of Copenhagen) is the hipster area. And the other end is dominated by emigrant shops. Parts of Nørrebrogade have been turned into bikes and public transportation only, and a lot of the lane is devoted to bikes. It is a joy to ride your bike here. At the same time a large part of the street next to Assistens Kirkegård was turned into pavemen, and here you can sit in the sun enjoying a meal or a beverage.
