Tips from the community

Cemetary chillin’? What? Yeah, really: Assistens Cemetery is interestingly one of Copenhagen’s most popular relaxation spots. Assistens is home to the graves of famous Danes like author Hans Christian Andersen, physicist Niels Bohr, and Søren Kierkegaard, a famous philosopher. The history is enough of a reason to visit, and over the years the cemetery has actually become a popular hangout for locals. If you’re visiting in the spring or summer, there will be plenty of activity between joggers, picnickers, and leisure bookworms.
