18th December 2015 at 21:40Norrebro’s Ravnsborggade is a great street for more offbeat antique shopping, and you’ve a far greater chance of finding a bargain here than on downtown Bredgade. Along Ravnsborggade itself as well as nearby streets Sankt Hans Gade and Sortedam Dossering, antique stores run the gamut from second hand bric a brac and retro designs to upmarket dealers, and there’s a number of excellent cafes and restaurants in the area if you feel in need of a refreshment break.
Should you feel in need of green space, the picturesque Lakes are also close by. Street market on Sundays from 10am March to November.
