Garden sights in Denmark

  1. A

    Kongens Have

    The oldest park in Copenhagen was laid out in the early 17th century by Christian IV, who used it as his vegetable patch. These days it has rather more to offer, including beautiful flower beds, an excellent children’s play area and a marionette theatre with free performances during the summer holiday (2pm and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday).

    Frederiksberg Have

    This is Copenhagen’s most romantic park, with lakes, woodlands and lovely picnic lawns. Overlooking it all is Frederiksborg Slot, a former royal palace, now home to the Royal Danish Military Academy and not generally open to the public.
