Assistens Cemetery in Nørrebro is where Copenhagen's most famous residents are buried, including Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard. But it is not primarily a tourist attraction — it functions as a public park, used daily by locals for walking, cycling through (there are paths), and picnicking on the lawns between the graves in summer.
The combination of a functioning cemetery and a neighbourhood park is characteristically Danish: practical, unsentimental, and rather beautiful. The trees are enormous and old, the atmosphere is green and quiet, and the whole place has a lived-in quality absent from tourist cemeteries. Maps of the notable graves are available at the main entrance.
