Where to stay in Nørrebro

North-west of the lakes: Jægersborggade's small shops and kitchens, the Assistens cemetery where Kierkegaard and Andersen are buried and everyone else sunbathes, Superkilen's black square, and Nørrebrogade running through the middle of it. The most mixed part of the city and the least polished, and the only area here where the money goes appreciably further — though in Copenhagen that is a shorter distance than it sounds.

Our picks in Nørrebro

Best for the money

Hotel Nora

Our pick for Nørrebro because it is on Nørrebrogade at the lakes end — the quarter's main street, five minutes from the water and inside the area that goes furthest on the money in this city.
