Westpark offers a way to connect the city’s public history with the lives of its residents. Different religious and cultural burial areas sit within one extensive landscape, while guided walks help explain their layout and traditions. Choose a small section rather than trying to cover the whole cemetery, and give funerals and private mourning priority throughout your visit.
