Gadegalleri Nordvest Copenhagen

A short street art stroll

Charlotte from Copenhagen

"As a part of a project to create artistic surprises in the city, 16 artists were commissioned to decorate the buildings of two parallel streets."

Hopefully you have allowed yourself time to stroll around the neighborhood of NV, an area encompassing both the gritty and the fancy. Maybe you have visited the golden building of the library Rentemestervej, treated yourself to a pizza at BEHOV, and now you are ready for a tiny dose of street art. Perfect!

As part of a beautification project, the aim being to create artistic surprises in the everyday life of the city, 16 artists were commissioned to decorate the buildings of two parallel streets, Møntmestervej and Rentemestervej, between 2017 and 2019. The result is 16 huge murals from a prominent group of artists such as AIKO, Peter Birk, Mikael B, and DABSMYLA, to name a few.

Being an outdoor neighborhood gallery, it's always open, and it's free. You can breeze up and down the two streets in 15 minutes, or you can take your time and really marvel at the diversity of colors and motives. It's a lovely break, and every season will provide you with a new experience.

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 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...

Lersøparken

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.

Tutten

As Danish as it gets

"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience
