Superkilen Park, Nørrebro
A kilometre-long burst of red, black and green where global objects, bold design and everyday Nørrebro life meet in one unforgettable urban park.
Superkilen Park is a bold, 750‑metre wedge of colour and concrete cutting through Copenhagen’s multicultural Nørrebro district. Designed by BIG, Superflex and Topotek1, this 30,000m² urban park is divided into the Red Square, Black Market and Green Park, each packed with playful details. More than 60 objects from around the world – from Moroccan fountains to Iraqi swings and a Texan pavilion – turn a neighbourhood park into a vivid, open‑air gallery of global design, street life and everyday recreation.

Local tips
- Bring a camera or phone with plenty of battery; the Red Square, white stripes of the Black Market and playful objects make this one of Copenhagen’s most photogenic urban spaces.
- If you want quieter photos and room to explore, come on a weekday morning; for a livelier atmosphere with skaters and families, aim for weekend afternoons.
- Pack snacks or a picnic and use the Green Park’s grassy hills as your base; there are supermarkets and takeaways in Nørrebro if you prefer to buy food nearby.
- Wear comfortable shoes and layers; you will likely wander the full length of the park, and the exposed areas can feel breezy in cooler months.
- Cycling is a natural way to experience Superkilen, but keep to the main bike track and be alert to pedestrians crossing between the different zones.

Getting There
-
Metro and bus from central Copenhagen
From Copenhagen Central Station, take the M3 Cityring metro to Nørrebros Runddel, a ride of about 10–12 minutes. From there, frequent buses along Nørrebrogade reach the Superkilen area in roughly 5–10 minutes, or you can walk in about 10–15 minutes on mostly flat pavements. A single metro or bus ticket typically costs around 20–30 DKK, and services run throughout the day with reduced frequency late at night.
-
City bike from the inner city
Cycling from the historic centre to Superkilen usually takes 15–25 minutes, depending on your starting point, using Copenhagen’s extensive network of separated bike lanes. Public hire bikes and app-based rentals are widely available and commonly cost from about 20–40 DKK for a short ride or per half hour, with day passes also offered. The route is generally flat and straightforward but can be busy at rush hour, so it suits riders comfortable with urban cycling.
-
Local bus from Østerbro and northern districts
If you are staying in Østerbro or the northern neighbourhoods, several city bus lines connect towards Nørrebro and stop within a short walk of Superkilen. Typical journey times range from 15–30 minutes depending on distance and traffic. Standard city bus tickets cost roughly 20–30 DKK, and buses run frequently during the day, with reduced evening and weekend schedules, but services remain reliable year-round.
-
Walking from central Nørrebro
From accommodation or cafés in central Nørrebro, allow 10–25 minutes on foot to reach different sections of Superkilen, depending on where you start. Pavements are generally even and well lit, and the area is densely urban with many people around, though crossings can be busy near main roads. Walking is free and flexible, making it a good option if you plan to combine the park with exploring nearby streets and eateries.

A wedge of colour through multicultural Nørrebro
Superkilen Park slices through the heart of Nørrebro as a long, tapering wedge of public space, almost a kilometre from end to end. Conceived as part of an urban renewal project, it was created to give one of Copenhagen’s most diverse districts a shared civic living room. Rather than a quiet, traditional park, it is an unapologetically urban landscape where bikes, prams and skateboards roll past neon signs and sculptural furniture. The design team – architects Bjarke Ingels Group, artists Superflex and landscape studio Topotek1 – treated Superkilen as a three‑dimensional exhibition of everyday objects. Locals with roots in more than 60 countries helped select items from their homelands, which were then re‑imagined and installed here. The result is a park that reads like a global scrapbook, bound together by strong colours and graphic lines.The Red Square’s urban energy
At the southern end, the Red Square sets the tone with its saturated surface of reds and pinks that wrap across the ground and visually up surrounding façades. This zone extends the energy of nearby sports and cultural venues into the open air, with hard-wearing pavements designed for football, skateboarding, skating and informal games. Neon signs, a line‑dance pavilion from Texas and other imported features create a loose, plaza‑like space where music, ball games and café life intertwine. The intense colour makes even everyday activities feel theatrical, and the flat expanses double as an impromptu stage for performances, community events or simply kids cycling in wide circles at dusk.The Black Market’s graphic calm
Moving north, the park narrows into the Black Market, a square surfaced in dark asphalt, over which sweeping white lines are drawn like a giant graphic score. These stripes curve around benches, lampposts and trees, guiding movement yet inviting people to pause wherever they like. Here the mood slows. Chess tables, shaded seating and a central fountain encourage lingering conversations. Objects sourced from different continents – benches, bins, light columns and playground pieces – create a subtle sense of travelling the world while staying firmly rooted in Nørrebro’s everyday rhythm.The Green Park’s hills and play
At the northern end, the Green Park delivers exactly what the neighbourhood once asked for: more greenery. Rolling lawns, low hills and tree‑lined paths open up into a softer landscape for picnics, sunbathing and dog walking. Families spread blankets on the grass while children explore slides, swings and climbing structures, including eye‑catching pieces with origins as far away as Japan or Afghanistan. Sports facilities are embedded in the terrain: a crater‑like court for football and basketball, running routes and open spaces for informal games. From the crest of the main hill you can look back along much of Superkilen and trace its transition from intense red to deep black to lush green.Global objects and local stories
The park’s most intriguing aspect may be its catalogue of imported elements, each linked to the background of local residents. A Moroccan fountain, Iraqi swings, a Spanish bull silhouette, Brazilian benches and a large chandelier from Italy are just a few of the pieces that punctuate the route. Plaques and subtle cues hint at their origins, turning a casual stroll into a quiet lesson in global geography and migration. Despite their varied provenance, the objects are stitched together by a consistent graphic language and careful placement. They transform Superkilen into a place where design, identity and everyday life meet, reinforcing the idea that a neighbourhood park can also be a statement about openness and shared belonging.Living public space from dawn to dusk
Throughout the day, Superkilen shifts character with its users. Early mornings bring joggers and commuters along the central cycle track; afternoons fill the play areas, sports courts and chess tables; evenings see the Red Square glow under neon, drawing skaters and friends meeting on the benches. Open at all hours and free to enter, it functions as both a local backyard and an international design landmark. Whether you come to photograph its bold lines, to let children burn off energy, or simply to sit with a takeaway coffee and watch Nørrebro’s diversity unfold around you, Superkilen offers a vivid snapshot of contemporary Copenhagen – inclusive, experimental and very much alive.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
