Take a quiet walk through Vestre Cemetery, a vast leafy burial ground in Copenhagen's southwest. Follow the tree-lined avenues to the red-brick Nordre Chapel and pause at the graves of famous Danes.
Full description
Vestre Cemetery is one of the largest and most varied cemetery parks in Copenhagen, centred on the red-brick Nordre Chapel and laid out with tree-lined avenues and quiet paths. It is the burial place of well-known Danes and of around 9,000 German victims of the Second World War.
Visitors describe it as clean, well kept and good for contemplation, and it is big enough that returning visitors still lose their bearings. Free to enter and open long hours, it works as a peaceful 45-minute walk through landscaped greenery and history.
