According to the magazine Time Out, the Copenhagen district of Nørrebro is among the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.

Nørrebro, ranked 28th overall, was commended for its great culinary, music and bar options.

“A diverse, multiethnic community just north of the Copenhagen’s famous Lakes, Nørrebro has a never-sleeps sort of atmosphere, where treks through weekend flea markets seep into meals at thriving Middle Eastern and African restaurants, then rounds at a pared-down dive bar,” wrote Time Out.

Only Nordic element
Time Out also highlighted the famous Assistens Cemetery where, among other famous individuals, Hans Christian Andersen is buried.

Nørrebro was the only Nordic neighbourhood on the list, which had Esquerra de l’Eixample in Barcelona as the coolest overall, followed by Downtown Los Angeles and Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong.
