A Global Melting Pot in Superkilen Park
Superkilen Park is not just a park; it’s a vibrant celebration of global cultures in the heart of the city. This extraordinary place is a testament to the beauty of diversity and inclusion, presenting an awe-inspiring amalgamation of different cultures from around the world.
Every element in Superkilen tells a story from a distant land. The benches, tables, stools, swings, litter bins, and lamp posts are not mere functional items; they are pieces of art, each brought from a different country. This global collection transforms the park into a living, breathing mosaic of international unity and cooperation.
The park is not just about its physical elements. It’s about the stories they tell and the cultures they represent. Walking through Superkilen, you embark on a journey around the world. From the uniquely designed Moroccan tiles to the iconic Russian swings, every corner of this park offers a new cultural experience.
Superkilen’s design brilliantly blurs the lines between a recreational space and a cultural exhibit. It’s a place where communities come together, not just to enjoy the outdoors but to appreciate the richness of our global heritage. The diversity represented here is a powerful reminder of how interconnected our world is.
For anyone visiting, Superkilen is more than a park; it’s an educational experience that celebrates the beauty of cultural diversity. Its ingenious layout and thoughtful inclusion of international elements make it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

Read moreIn outer Nørrebro, between Nørrebrogade and Tagensvej, a new public space has come into existence. Under the name of Superkilen (The Super Wedge) a team headed by BIG Architects is about to create a three-coloured multicultural space meant to provide even better opportunities for city life in Nørrebro. If you begin your visit in Nørrebrogade, you'll step into a big red landscape. Continuing through Superkilen you'll then pass through a hilly grass-green landscape to end in the jet-black bazaar. The three colours mark the different functions of the spaces - and the aim of creating a place with something to suit every taste.
The Red Square: The red zone is dedicated to physical activities - situated as an extension of Nørrebrohallen sports centre this zone is laid out for team sports and outdoor fitness.
The Green Park: The green space is designed as a landscape with hills, a playground and picnic spots for parties and family get-togethers.
The Black Market: The wedge ends in the black space where chess tables and benches invite reflective relaxation. At weekends the black part of the wedge can be turned into a bazaar for local traders...
Read moreAbsolutely amazing! Especially for urban street art lovers. Not to be confused with Den Sorte Plads, which is located a bit further down the road (across the street).

In Superkilen park you will meet a lot of skaters, families with small children, teenagers, couples, friends. Even people resting in the sun (well, only in the summer months) after work. There are objects bought from all over the world (from all continents! ). Everything is in a very urban /industrial design and still a good example of the different cultures which these are representing. My daughter enjoyed mostly the very long slide and the round swings. It is located in Nørrebro which is a hip area located not so far away from Copenhagen's downtown (though a bus/train/metro/ bike ride should be considered). A good place to hang out but mainly from...
