Why Danes Are So Happy: The Secret to Danish Happiness, Nørrebro

About this activity

Why are Danes among the happiest people in the world? Find out on a walk through Nørrebro with a local friend. Your host is a Copenhagener who has lived here for many years, and the group is never more than 12. We take the metro from Central Station (ticket included), cross Superkilen park, browse Jægersborggade's small shops and visit Assistens Cemetery, where Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard are buried. Along the way you hear how the welfare state grew out of this working-class neighbourhood, and why trust, community and free time matter so much to Danes.

We end at a lakeside café in Ørstedsparken with coffee or tea and a Danish pastry: a taste of how Danes take time together. Bring your questions. A conversation, not just a lecture.
