Cemeteries
Characteristic of Copenhagen is that a number of cemeteries double as parks, though only for the more quiet activities such as sunbathing, reading and meditation. Assistens Cemetery (55°41′28″N 12°32′59″E / 55.6912°N 12.5497°E / 55.6912; 12.5497 (Assistens Cemetery)), the burial place of Hans Christian Andersen among others, is an important green space for the district of Inner Nørrebro and a Copenhagen institution. The lesser-known Vestre Cemetery (55°39′28″N 12°31′46″E / 55.6578°N 12.5294°E / 55.6578; 12.5294 (Vestre Cemetery)) is, at 54 hectares, the largest cemetery in Denmark and offers a maze of dense groves, open lawns, winding paths, hedges, overgrown tombs, monuments, tree-lined avenues, lakes and other garden features.
