Lonely Planet review

The serene Assistens Kierkegård in the heart of Nørrebro is the final resting place of some of Denmark's most celebrated citizens, including philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, physicist Niels Bohr, author Hans Christian Andersen and artists Jens Juel, Christen Købke and CW Eckersberg. It's an interesting place to wander around - as much a park and garden as it is a graveyard.

A good place to start is at the main entrance on Kapelvej, which has an office where you can pick up a brochure mapping famous grave sites.
