4 ASSISTENS CEMETERY

In the beginning of the 18th century, Denmark enjoyed its "fifteen minutes of fame”. All kinds of geniuses were walking the streets of Copenhagen, among them writers such as Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard, and scientists such as Hans Christian Ørsted and Rasmus Rask. This golden period, lasting for approximately fifty years, coincided with the fact that Assistens Cemetery more or less overnight became the fashionable place to be buried for everybody who was somebody. The trend developed into tradition. Guides and various types of performers will tell the stories and give you an insight into Denmark, Copenhagen and the lives of many of the famous Danes, who lay to rest at Assistens Cemetery. This will be a very unique experience.
