Nørrebro

Housed next to a prison, in an old police station. This museum has exhibitions portraying both cunning criminal cases, and witty police work, including artifacts from the cases displayed.

Is both a cemetery and park. The A-section has big trees, bicycle paths and historical graves, many of famous Danes such as Kierkegaard, H. C. Andersen, and Scherfig. The place has very special atmosphere, in that it also doubles as a park, so you can see people having picnic or tanning in the sun, between the tombstones.

Is a huge brickwork church at Bispebjerg, designed by Peder Klint and finished by his son, famous architect Kaare Klint. It is a peculiar mix of a traditional Danish village church, and bombastic Gothic style.

Herman Stilling was a Danish author and painter 1925-1996, who lived most of his life on Nørrebro. In 2003 a small museum was opened in the old stables by Assistentens cemetery, with many of his paintings of trolls and gnomes.

Run by the municipal administration, this is house is fittingly located in the most ethnic diverse district of Copenhagen.

Also has a cheap cafe, with a single daily dish of the day lunch: 45 Kr and dinner: 65 Kr

Deceivingly camouflaged as a Basketball court which it also is, but if you look closely there is a huge projector, displaying photography as well as digital and video art, on the face opposite building. Check their website for schedules.
