In just a few years, the Nordvest district of Copenhagen has been transformed from industry and factories, to vibrant, pulsating boutiques and restaurants. Car repair shops have metamorphosed to smart Copenhagen bars, and influential art galleries are moving to the area. Join us on a tour around a district in dramatic change!

We’ve seen it before in the Vesterbro and Nørrebro districts of Copenhagen, which have both evolved into hip and trendy hotspots. The same is going on now in Nordvest. Bars and bakeries are taking over the old workshops, and design studios are moving into the old factories.

We begin at Nørrebro Station, where we could actually stay for the whole tour. The area around Nørrebro Station is perhaps Copenhagen’s most exciting hub. We can sense the same downtown buzz as we know from Berlin. And this will follow us throughout our tour, which ends at Grundtvigs Kirke (a magnificent church).

From Nørrebro Station, we walk past the cobalt blue Imam Ali Mosque and through community-driven neighborhoods, where many local initiatives have taken root and blossomed. We will also see attractive examples of welfare-architecture housing.
Walking further into the Nordvest district, we will see a golden library, new architect-designed homes, as well as housing blocks built in the 1950s. We will hear about the urban renewal in the area, climate protection and diversity. The tour ends at a masterpiece of Danish architecture that overshadows everything else: Grundtvigs Kirke.

Join the tour and experience perhaps Copenhagen’s last authentic blue-collar district before it becomes history.
