"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 one is weird to some people. But the Danes love to hang out in this cementary! It's a lovely place for stroll. You'll also find a few famous Danes like, H.C. Andersen, Niels Bohr and Søren Kirkegaard."

"A small cemetery, but which the premises use as a green oasis.
If you are here in the month of April, it is also a good place to see the beautiful pink cherry trees."
