This culturally diverse neighbourhood is off the beaten track and a place to experience an authentic and local part of Copenhagen. To get really under the skin of the architecture and urban development in this area, we recommend walking or biking to get the full expierence.

Spend a day in Nordvest

Nordvest often stands in the shadow of its more famous neighbouring areas but shouldn't be underestimated if you want to go real local and get under the skin of Copenhagen. One must-see in Nordvest is the jaw-dropping Grundtvig’s Church, but the neighbourhood also contains some hidden gems worth a visit. Spend a day or a half in NV with this quick guide.

Copenhagen Local Walks - Industry transformed

Embark on this guided audio walk through the living history of the Copenhagen Nordvest neighbourhood.

Nordvest often stands in the shadow of its more famous neighbouring areas but shouldn't be underestimated if you want to go real local and get under the skin of Copenhagen. One must-see in Nordvest is the jaw-dropping Grundtvig’s Church, but the neighbourhood also contains some hidden gems worth a visit. Spend a day or a half in NV with this quick guide.

All roads lead to Nordvest

While Nordvest used to be industrial and on the outskirts of Copenhagen, it is now just a short bike or bus ride from the city centre. You can also take the S-train or Metro to Nørrebro station and walk from there.
