Discover the up-and-coming Nordvest neighbourhood
Nordvest is Nørrebro's ‘up-and-coming’ little sister. It has an industrial and raw look, patchy green areas, and great cultural diversity. To get really under the skin of the architecture and urban development in this area, we recommend walking or biking to get the full experience.
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.
Grundtvig's Church was erected in commemoration of the great Danish priest, poet, and reformer N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783 - 1882). This monumental church is referred to in modern terms as a Gothic cathedral.
Since it is first and foremost a graveyard, this is a place where you should of course keep in mind that many visitors are here to grieve or find spiritual solitude. However, this is indeed a nice and tranquil place to take a walk.
