About
Quick facts: More than 10,000 people are buried in this tranquil green space in the heart of Copenhagen, including Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard. Locals flock here year-round for picnics, morning jogs, and lazy afternoons among the graves.
Highlights: On any sunny afternoon, you will see couples sprawled on blankets reading novels next to 19th-century headstones draped in ivy. The cemetery functions as an unofficial public park where Copenhageners sunbathe, play guitar, and push strollers past the resting places of their most famous thinkers.
Insider tips
- Enter through the main gate on Nørrebrogade and grab a free map from the notice board to locate specific graves.
- The best photo light hits Hans Christian Andersen's grave in the late afternoon when the sun streams through the surrounding trees.
- Skip the paved central paths and wander the smaller dirt trails in the older eastern section for more atmospheric, overgrown graves.
- Come early on a weekday to have the benches near the pond almost entirely to yourself.
