Asylgade (lit. "Asylum Street") is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Vingårdstræde in the north to Laksegade in the south.
The street was originally called Nellikegade.[1] Copenhagen's first daycare (Asylum) for children of women working outside the home opened at No. 11 in 1835.[2] The street received its current name after it in 1859. The institution moved to new premises in Adelgade in 1937.[3]
