When do the cherry trees bloom in Copenhagen?

Pink blossom in April at Bispebjerg.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

The best-known cherry blossom in Copenhagen is the cherry avenue at Bispebjerg Cemetery, which usually blooms in April: the City of Copenhagen reported the avenue in bloom on 11 April 2023 and on 4 April 2025. Use the entrance at Frederiksborgvej 125 and follow the signposted route, called Kirsebærruten. Come by bike or public transport, as parking on Støvnæs Allé has caused traffic problems. It is an active cemetery, so keep quiet and give way to mourners, especially near Søndre Kapel.
