Dronning Louises Bro, 1371 Copenhagen, Denmark
We meet in the middle of Dronning Louises Bro, on the right-hand side when you arrive from the city center. Please arrive about 10 minutes early.

Here you’ll find independent shops, creative studios, street art and a relaxed everyday vibe that shows why this part of Copenhagen is so loved by locals.
Folkets Park
Folkets Park is a small green oasis in the heart of Nørrebro, shaped by local communities and known for its graffiti, creativity, and strong sense of togetherness. At the center of the park stands Folkets Hus, a cultural landmark that has long served as a gathering place for people fighting for social and political rights.

Surrounded by tall trees and quiet pathways, his resting place draws visitors from all over the world who come to pay tribute to Denmark’s most beloved storyteller.
While the site is deeply connected to Andersen’s legacy, it also sits within a cemetery that locals use as a recreational space, blending history, everyday life and reflection. Nearby you’ll also find the graves of other notable Danes, including philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, making this place a unique combination of cultural heritage and serene urban nature.
