Assistens Cemetary
This is the largest cemetary in Copenhagen and was established in 1711. Many famous people are buried here, including Søren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen and Martin Andersen Nexø, a well-known novelist. The cemetary is not used for burials any longer, and has been turned into a public park. It has nice gravel paths and many trees and is a very peaceful place to walk.

There are both outdoor plants to see as well as several greenhouses with more exotic tropical and subtropical flora. Some of the most interesting greenhouses are the cactus house and the palm house.
