When do the cherry trees bloom in Copenhagen?
Pink blossom in April at Bispebjerg.
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.
Why
- The avenue usually blooms in April.
- There is a one-way route to and from the avenue.
- Mourners have priority over visitors.
Details
Pink cherry trees, tulips and fresh beech leaves are typical signs of spring across Denmark.
Tip
Watch the City of Copenhagen news from early April, where the bloom has been announced in recent years.
What may differ
The bloom depends on the spring weather, so it does not start on the same date every year.
Common misconception
The cherry avenue at Bispebjerg is a park for picnics and photo shoots.
What actually happens
It is an active cemetery, and visitors must follow the signs and show respect for people visiting graves.
