Literaturhaus

Independent Cinema, which is often described as the best in Copenhagen, despite - or because of - its modest size. Balances between independent productions and mainstream movies. As is the case with all Danish cinemas, international movies are shown in their original language.

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.

Both a cemetery and a peaceful park, replete with sunbathers and joggers. The A-section has big trees, bicycle paths and historical graves, including such famous Danes as the philosopher Kierkegaard, children's writer Hans-Christian 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 often impressive tombstones.

Kaleidoskop is stage for modern and experimenting theater performances in the heart of Nørrebro, and has been running for 15 years.

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.

Run by the municipal administration, this is house is fittingly located in the most ethnic diverse district of Copenhagen. Houses festivals, lectures, art exhibitions, concerts and film screenings, organized by various ethnic minority associations in the city. Also has a cheap cafe, with a single daily dish of the day (lunch: 45 kr and dinner: 65 kr).
