Bispebjerg Cemetery near Nørrebro in the hip working class district of Bispebjerg/Nordvest is one of the hidden gems of Copenhagen. This beautiful, parklike cemetery is beloved by locals, but almost undiscovered by tourists. I am a cemetery enthusiast who loves the atmosphere, the history, and the culture of the cemeteries. I lived near Bispebjerg Cemetery for several years - and I would love to share my enthusiasm for and knowledge about this very special hidden gem. On this tour, we will focus on the story of the Danish part of World War II through the graves on the cemetery - but if you wish so, I will of course love to tell even more about the cemetery.
We'll meet up at the cemetery gates at Frederiksborgvej - or we'll meet some other place and go to the cemetery together. We might even include a small tour of the neigborhood if you wish so. The theme of the tour will be the german occupation of Denmark. Bispebjerg has a lot of official graves of for example police officers killed during the war, allied soldiers, russian soldiers, resistance members and german refugees. Besides those, we will hear the stories of Danes in German and allied service, the Danish sailors during the war, ordinary people who became victims, the German soldiers, Danes who ended on the wrong side of history and other stories that hides behind the gravestones. Of course, I will also love to tell you other stories from the history of the cemetery - or try to plan a customized tour based on your interests if wanted. We could also combine the visit with a lunch in a restaurant/cafe in the area - the area has a lot of nice, hip and cozy places.

We will be walking. If we meet up at another place, we might use public transportation or taxis. The cemetery is quite large, so remember your walking shoes:)
