What people say

"Assistens Cemetery (Assistens Kirkegård in Danish) is a famous cemetery located in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen and is the final resting place for many notable figures like: Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875): World-renowned Danish fairy tale writer. Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855): Philosopher and theologian. Niels Bohr (1885–1962): Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Tycho Brahe (1546–1601): Renaissance astronomer. Assistens Cemetery has become more than a burial ground; it also functions as a public park and has some of the spring's most beautiful cherry trees. "
"This peaceful and beautifully maintained cemetery in the Nørrebro district is the final resting place of famous Danes like Hans Christian Andersen and philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. It’s more than just a cemetery—it’s a tranquil park where locals relax, walk, or enjoy picnics. It offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle, with a blend of history and nature."

Welcome to my city! I created the ultimate guide with more than 200 selected things to do, see and taste as a result of more than 21 years living in this city. When people think of Denmark, they often picture the statue of the little mermaid, Tivoli amusement park and lots of bikes. And while Copenhagen is all of that, there’s also much more to the city. Included are the best places to see between: - Castles - Churches - Parks - Hidden gems - Museums & Galleries - Panoramic points - Best restaurants, unique cafes, street food, brunch - Suggested itineraries & more Here you'll also find general information of the city, how to get around, what not to do and frequently asked questions, as well as suggested itineraries.

I myself love the vendors as you can keep all your tickets/stays in one place (even better with the Copenhagen card), you also get instant confirmation and can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your planned activity/stay - this is a major benefit in a city like Copenhagen where the weather can dictate your itinerary. Using the links provided also help me as a small business, as I make a small commission with no additional charge to you!
