At ten hectares (25-ish acres?) it's not the largest Botanical Garden I've visited. The pathways…read moreseemed very crowded at noon on this particular weekday. So my experience was a little less enjoyable sauntering, and more Pacman-style weaving to get where I wanted to go. I can see there is beauty here, and I imagine that I would enjoy it more during a less busy time.

The Botanical Gardens are connected/right next to the geological museum…read more The main highlight is that they are open fairly early in the morning and are free. That and the fact that botanical gardens are just gosh-dang beautiful. The park closes a little early in the evening, so I didn't have much time to explore before needing to clear out unfortunately. There is a part of the garden featuring hops and beer-helping plants. Loads of paths, lots of greenery...you can't go wrong. In the center of the park is the Palm House, which is spectacular to look at from the outside. It costs extra to go in, and I was at the end of my budget so I didn't get to go inside to see the exotic and tropical plants. If you like walking around in nature and looking at pretty things, you should come to the Botanisk Have. Also then you are close to the national art and geology museums...three birds (attractions) and one transit stop! Worth a stroll through!

It's the garden of the Royal Library. This was our favorite of all the sights seen during our…read morewalking tour of Copenhagen. It's pretty much hidden from the Inner Harbour. I don't think we would have discovered it on our own. It's like one big courtyard garden that's located on the Castle Island between Christiansborg Palace and the historic Royal Danish Library. The Black Diamond (the modern extension of the library) building that you see from the harbor kind of obscures it all. It's feels like an oasis when first encountering it. That feeling multiplies when you see the koi fish swimming around the pond, and the water flowing from an impressive 26-foot-tall bronze sculpture. The architecture of the historic Library building in the background truly adds to the scenery. The fragrances coming from the flowers in this garden are amazing. I think it was the scent of the wisteria and flowering crab apple blossoms that stood out to me the most. It's all beautifully landscaped and manicured with colorful blooms. It was such a quiet and relaxing visit. I'd return again and again if I lived in this area. Don't miss this experience when passing through the grounds of Christiansborg Palace.

My first visit to this "garden" was back in 2013 or 2014 during the Copenhagen Cooking festival. At that time this park was full of small stands serving all sorts of food and drinks from smoked cheese, shrimps, ice cream and other food to beers from small home breweries and Danish snaps. Overall it is a beautiful little park with a fountain in the middle, a lot of benches all around, very quite and secluded. Great place to relax.

Wow what a castle. I love it, not but just packed of everything into this place. I was expecting…read morehuge big, but turned out quite simple, elegant and full of surprises. Grand, simple & elegant garden. The inside was just amazing from room after room, from one level to the next and you got to down into the jewel in the basement for the grand jewels plus others. Just simply magnificent, I didn't have time to be bored or a break from it cause everything just connect from one to another. Everything just has that cozy but yet loyal vibe. Love it, and I think this is the best & my favorite I seem so far.

The day pass is worth it for convenient access to the castle. Free lockers are a nice touch, and the guards with bayonets add a bit of royal drama. Inside, the halls are filled with art and artifacts -- the grand hall with the thrones and lion statues is a standout. Don't miss the Crown Jewels in the walk-in vault downstairs, complete with a step ladder for the perfect view. A truly regal visit, well worth the stop.

But the point is: this park is fantastic. I consider myself to be an aspiring-professional picnic'er, and my heart was exploding when I walked into Landbohøjskolens Have because pretty much it's perfect for an afternoon picnic with friends. You know what else it's perfect for? 1) Sitting on a park bench in direct sunlight, absorbing UV rays, and eavesdropping on intimate conversations unfolding nearby 2) Feeding ducks sitting on [frozen - but hopefully not for much longer] ponds 3) Smelling pretty flowers 4) Reading a book, on a blanket, on the grass I hesitated writing this review largely because I kind of want to keep this gem for myself, but I actually think the secret's already out, so come on over.

The park makes you feel like you're in a small fairytale - windy steps and paths with beautiful flowers everywhere. On a nice summer day it would be the perfect place for a photo shoot. Near the Copenhagen University building there is a small cafe in the middle of a large garden. Such a beautiful spot to have a coffee or light lunch with a friend. The cafe was closed when I stopped by but I will definitely go back another day when it's open.

There is a beautiful garden in the middle of the beautiful, heavily peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of exhibits to see and leans and it's not a small museum either, it big inside so a lot of walking for sure so wear comfortable shoe when visit. Staff are everywhere and they are friendly and helpful when needed. There is a locker room on the lower level and quite big too. Just try to go light or empty handed to avoid checkin and time.

We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

Starting in the evening, all galleries, churches, museums as well as local businesses, government buildings and agencies, throw open their doors to the public offering a myriad of cultural activities. There is truly something for everyone - all ages and all interests. We learned how to cook pancakes on a fire, make votive holders out of birch logs, harvest seeds from summer's spent blooms to plant again next spring, what kind of grains are in your bread and how they are grown, how to press your own cider and even how to clean a deer and cook the venison over an open flame. Looking for something a little less "campy?" Live choral music in the churches lit up at night offered goosebump-inducing harmonies. So fun to see inside the buildings whose spires litter the Copenhagen landscape. Talks, lectures, special exhibits, light shows, live music and PEOPLE. Everywhere. We had never seen so many people out and about.

Wonderful museum for all group types. It's free and it is very modern and beautiful layout…read more Plenty of art, abstract, drawing, sculptures and so forth. Different exhibits both permanent and rotation. Perfect for family outing. It's located next to the park so very beautiful view of it.

So...shamefully, I never intended to visit this museum during my visit. My mistake!…read more I happened to be in the general area, wanting to go to a specifically contemporary art museum that was *supposed* to be open but definitely was not. I was cranky about it, but just started heading back towards the city center on foot to see what the world might have in store for me. And what it had in store for me was all of the National Museums! Since I was planning on a museum any way, wanted to snag some WiFi, and it was included with my Copenhagen Card that expired that evening...I mean, why not check it out!? There was a great variety of artistic styles and time periods represented here. So, no matter what kind of art you like, you will find something that you enjoy here. I personally enjoy modern and contemporary art, and since I had been on the hunt for that earlier, that is where I focused my attention. They have a very nice contemporary collection. Visually appealing, colorful, and things I haven't seen before! I really enjoyed everything I got to see, both in the contemporary areas and the rest of the museum. And after wrapping up my art-ing, I got a bite to eat and a very good cup of coffee in the museum restaurant. I had a much nicer time here than I expected to, and should have had this on my must-see list earlier in my visit. Don't make my same mistake!

While I was on my way to the Botanical Gardens, whose entrance is just in front of the Geologisk Museum, I saw a sign for the current exhibit about nature and fashion...and I am immediately DOWN to go on in and check it out! I had about an hour left on my Copenhagen Card, so I could still get in without having to pay extra! The special exhibit was really fun and fascinating! And hey, I got to look at super pretty clothes! But beyond the special exhibit, their permanent collection is also really cool! The butterfly room was unexpected and full of beautiful specimens. And the gems and mineral collections were display in a really interesting way, all sparkly and colorful. I really didn't know what to expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised and greatly enjoyed my visit here. You should absolutely consider putting this museum on your list of things to see in Copenhagen!
