A unique and innovative project by the Danish architect P. Blom, which is a whole street of houses turned upside down and placed on one corner. Living in such structures is considered prestigious, so they are occupied by wealthy citizens. One of the houses is adapted for a museum, where tourists can see what is happening inside. Some residents also offer guided tours of their quirky apartments.

These iconic buildings are an architectural must see. We stayed three nights in the Stayokay studio which is the luxury end of a friendly hostel, breakfast and Wi-Fi included.

AGAINST : No kitchen in the studio, a rule about no alchohol or weed, a bit of an airless box with no a/c and very poor ventilation, wickedly steep stairs.

I am not sure why is this an attraction at all. Interesting shape of houses and thats it. They made it an attraction and even charging for entrance.

I liked it, didn’t stay so long, but once to go and see it is worth. But there is not much information can be found. But to look around is a must.
If you are fancy, one of the house is been working as a hostel, check in booking. com.

Around the unique building you can find an antique harbour, lots of restaurants to hang out and plenty places to shop, including the beautiful market hall.
