About
Gavlmaleri på Hillerødgade is a gable mural in Nørrebro, one of Copenhagen's best-known districts for street art. It covers the end wall of a building on Hillerødgade, rising above the street and making a bold, colourful presence on the facade.
What to expect
The mural is a piece of street art, and it is easy to find while you are walking through the neighbourhood rather than something you need to plan a special trip around. Because it stands on a building's gable, you see it from the street as you approach, which gives you a sense of its scale.
- Type: outdoor street art on a building facade
- Location: Hillerødgade, Nørrebro, Copenhagen, Denmark
- Best suited to: a stroll through the neighbourhood and a photo stop
Around the mural
Nørrebro is known for its creative and multicultural character, and the mural is a good way to see that spirit at street level. Walking here gives you the chance to take in the surrounding streets, shops and cafés at an unhurried pace, and to notice other walls and facades that reflect the area's artistic life.
If you enjoy looking at street art, this is a simple, pleasant stop. It needs little time, so it fits easily into a longer walk through the district.
