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.

"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

"Amager Records" is my favorite record store on my island in Copenhagen. Small and cramped as it should be, the super-helpful owners are also jazz fans!

"Ark Books" in Copenhagen is a shop that specializes in books by Danish authors translated into English - good for souvenirs. They also do translations...

"Zeppelin Rock bar" Copenhagen is a a bar I love for its soft rock, heavy rock, metal or anything in between music. It's just a perfect place to hang out.

"Kahyt og Kaffe" is an old floating cafe in Copenhagen. If the weather is nice, you can sit out on the deck. If not, don't hesitate to visit anyway.

"Fermentoren" Copenhagen is 'a nice bar with great beers!' Actually, this one's probably one of the best bar of them all... Protip: taste before you buy!

"Falafel Factory" Copenhagen is my new favorite Midde-Eastern takeaway restaurant and falafel joint! This guy, Sappa, is actually the best - title and all.

"Jernbane Café" in Copenhagen has a characteristic exterior and is a truly fine bar. Keep an eye out for the express toy train and the beer medals!
