Assistens Cemetery (Assistens Kirkegård in Danish) is a famous cemetery located in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen and is the final resting place for many notable figures like:

Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875): World-renowned Danish fairy tale writer.

Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855): Philosopher and theologian.

Niels Bohr (1885–1962): Nobel Prize-winning physicist.

Tycho Brahe (1546–1601): Renaissance astronomer.

Assistens Cemetery has become more than a burial ground; it also functions as a public park and has some of the spring's most beautiful cherry trees.
