Metro and Walking
Take the Copenhagen Metro Line M1 or M2 toward Vestamager or Vanløse, exiting at Nørrebro Station. From the station, walk approximately 8–10 minutes northeast along Rantzausgade and then Nørrebrogade to reach the park entrance. Journey time from central Copenhagen is approximately 15–20 minutes total. This is the most direct and frequent option, with trains departing every 3–5 minutes during peak hours.
-
Bicycle
Rent a bicycle from one of Copenhagen's many bike-sharing systems (Bycyklen or similar) or a local rental shop. Cycle north from the city center via the extensive network of dedicated bicycle paths, following signs toward Nørrebro. The journey from Tivoli Gardens or Nyhavn takes approximately 15–25 minutes depending on your starting point. Superkilen is directly accessible via Copenhagen's main cycling routes, and secure bike parking is available throughout the park.
-
Bus
Several bus routes serve the Nørrebro area, including lines 5A, 14, and 16, which stop near Superkilen. Board from central Copenhagen and travel approximately 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and your starting point. Buses run frequently throughout the day, with reduced service in the evening. The nearest bus stop is within a 5-minute walk of the park entrance.

A World Exhibition in the Heart of Nørrebro
Superkilen opened in 2012 as an ambitious urban design project created by Bjarke Ingels Group, Superflex, and Topotek1. The park was conceived as a living world exhibition, designed to celebrate the extraordinary cultural diversity of Nørrebro, one of Copenhagen's most ethnically diverse neighborhoods. The vision was to create a space that would bring communities together through shared experience and artistic expression, transforming a previously underutilized area into a vibrant public gathering place. The park contains over 50 carefully selected design objects and artifacts from more than 50 countries, many chosen by local residents as symbols of their cultural heritage. These items range from Moroccan fountains and Brazilian benches to Iraqi swings, Lebanese olive trees, and a striking black octopus slide from Japan. A Chinese neon salon sign, English trash cans, and Russian neon signage sit alongside contemporary art installations, creating an eclectic global landscape that speaks to the neighborhood's multicultural character.Three Distinct Zones, Each with Its Own Character
The Red Square dominates the northern section with its bold geometric patterns in neon pink, orange, and red. This energetic zone features smooth open spaces ideal for skateboarding, an open-air stage for performances, and facilities for outdoor fitness and team sports. The visual intensity of the red zone creates a dynamic atmosphere perfect for people-watching and social gathering, drawing both locals and visitors throughout the day. The Black Market, the central zone, offers a more contemplative experience. Painted in black with intricate white striping that curves and zags across the surface, this area invites thoughtful relaxation. Chess tables and benches provide spaces for quiet conversation, while a Moroccan fountain serves as a focal point. The sculptural black octopus slide doubles as both playground equipment and abstract art, creating a striking visual centerpiece. The Green Park to the south transitions into a more traditional landscape setting. Featuring rolling lawns formed into organic shapes, Japanese cherry trees, a playground, and designated picnic areas, this zone provides a natural escape within the urban environment. The area is popular for family outings, dog walking, and leisurely strolls, offering respite from the more intense energy of the red and black zones.Design Innovation and Global Recognition
Superkilen's bold aesthetic represents a departure from conventional park design, embracing what some describe as a psychedelic landscape of the future. The stark, high-art approach to color and geometry makes the park instantly recognizable and highly photogenic. The sculptural shapes, angular lines, and vibrant color palettes create a visually arresting environment that has earned multiple international design and architecture awards and continues to be recognized as one of Copenhagen's most distinctive attractions. The park's design philosophy extends beyond aesthetics to functionality. Bicycle paths wind through all three zones, reflecting Copenhagen's cycling culture, while the smooth surfaces of the Red Square accommodate skateboarders and rollerbladers. The varied topography and multiple activity zones ensure that visitors of different ages and interests find something engaging.A Living Symbol of Urban Diversity
Superkilen represents more than a recreational space—it is a statement about urban identity and cultural integration. The deliberate inclusion of design elements from the 57 cultural backgrounds represented in Nørrebro's population transforms the park into a tangible expression of the neighborhood's character. Rather than relegating diversity to the margins, Superkilen places it at the center of public life, making it impossible to ignore or overlook. The park has become a destination for guided tours, photography expeditions, and casual exploration. Its combination of artistic ambition, functional design, and cultural significance has made it a model for other cities seeking to create inclusive public spaces that celebrate rather than erase difference.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
