Assistens Cemetery in the heart of the Nørrebro district is a local oasis, where the living mixes with the dead and nature, culture, and history meet up. All year, the cemetery is a local hangout, where parents with kids in strollers, dog owners, and pensioners go for a walk. In the summer it is also a popular place to drink beer or enjoy a picnic. I am a cemetery enthusiast - in a very non-goth way! - who loves the atmosphere, the history, and the culture of the cemeteries. Assistens is my favorite spot in Copenhagen, and I would love to share my enthusiasm for and knowledge about this very special place. On the tour, you will visit the graves of famous Danes such as the philosopher Kierkegaard, the author Hans Christian Andersen and the nuclear physicist Niels Bohr as well as more unknown but not less interesting people.
We'll meet up at the cemetery gates - or I will pick you up at another destination if you want - and take a walking tour of the cemetery. I will pick out some highlights, but stories about famous Danes and more ordinary people with unusual stories. Of course, I will tell stories from the past - about how the cemetery came to be in what was once a very rural setting, about grave robbers and partying at the graves, and about funeral traditions and strange happenings at the cemetery through the times. If you want to hear stories with a certain focus, please let me know. In the summertime, as an option and extra charge, we might have a picnic (either I bring some food or we buy some takeaway ) or a drink at the cemetery - if you want to enjoy a truly Copenhagen-centric experience. We could also combine the visit with a lunch in a restaurant/cafe in the area and/or a tour of the great area of Nørrebro.

We will be walking. If we meet up at another place, we might use public transportation or taxis.
