Cityscapes Submissions 2023

København, Denmark, Spring 2023

Both of these photos were taken in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. Nørrebro is a neighborhood just north of the city center and is known for its very diverse and young population. The first photo is of the University of Copenhagen science campus and the second photo is of Superkilen park. This neighborhood was my favorite to go to during the weekend because of its amazing bakeries, bars and restaurants. My first time going to Nørrebro made me want to move there.
