Biblioteket Rentemestervej Copenhagen

Not just a library

Charlotte from Copenhagen

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming. A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be ...
"So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, people meeting for language exchange and remember to notice the local art decorating the walls."

Surrounded by an exciting mix of street art, old industry buildings and cool neighborhood initiatives, this golden chunk of architecture offers a multitude of activities.

Being a library, a café, a cultural venue, and a gallery for local artists, you could spend all day here! There’s even a bright green no-shoes area dedicated to kids. This is also where citizens go for various services, like passport renewal or voting.

The ground floor café is catered by Flere Fugle, and they serve delicious stuff at reasonable prices, like a sourdough bun with cheese for 35DKK or the dish of the day for 79DKK if you need a real meal.

What I really enjoy about this place is, while being enwrapped in modern architecture, just outside the windows is the raw and colorful area of NV. The contrast feels invigorating.

So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, the people meeting for language exchange, the mommy groups - remember to notice the beautiful details of the building and the local art decorating the walls. You might not be able to secure a completely quiet corner, but if you find joy in the low, constant hum of people immersed in various groups and projects, then this is your place!

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right?

A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be the biggest of cities, but there's so much going on; so many events, subcultures, and places to uncover. I love just to wander the streets with exploration as my only mission, and even though I've liv...

Det Vide Hus

Hidden café gem in plain sight!

Det Vide Hus is super affordable, extra cosy (or hygge as we’d say in Danish), with one of the best coffees in the city & a great selection of Danish pastry!

Airtrix Trampolinpark

Jump for joy

I’d recommend the 2-hour AirCombi, which will give you 1 hour of climbing and 1 hour of jumping – if you’re doing it right, you will be sweaty and wobbly.

The building is from 1874 and the women above you are the nine muses from Greek mythology, infusing the theatre with inspiration and beauty.
