Play ‘title bingo’ at Assistens Kirkegård cemetery

Assistens Kirkegård is the third oldest cemetery in Copenhagen, with graves that date back to the 1700s. Today, most of the cemetery functions as a park where you can relax, go for a walk, watch red squirrels running around, seek out the cat sculpture (there’s a concrete cat sculpture that people can move, hiding it under trees and behind bushes), or play ‘title bingo’ with your friends — until the mid-1900s, it was popular to have your working title written on your tombstone. Seek out strange and interesting occupations, like numismatiker (coin collecter) or, yes, timetraveller. This is also the place to visit Hans Christian Andersen’s and Søren Kierkegaard’s graves. If the weather’s nice, stay and enjoy a picnic (pizza from Stefanos is a good option).
