    King's Garden was established in the early 17th century as the private gardens of King Christian IV's Rosenborg Castle. There isn't anything specific to see here, unless you plan to visit the castle or want to see the statue of Hans Christian Andersen. We enjoyed a nice relaxing stroll here though and everything was green.

    Translated as The King's Garden, this place is the oldest and most popular park in the city. It is mostly a lot of open space, but is well maintained and makes for a beautiful walk. There is a huge lawn covered in flowers, a pathway lined with huge trees, and even a garden maze. I was also told that during the warmer months, they have outdoor concerts and exhibitions here. Though there are not many things to do here, it was relaxing just to stroll around and explore.

    A lovely, large, gorgeous park in the middle of Copenhagen! It is lush and clean and well-kept. Even with it being populated by many people enjoying the fair weather and sunshine, it didn't feel crowded and there was little-to-no trash to be seen anywhere. That fact may not be notable to European travelers, but it is a wonder to an American traveler and it was wonderful. The square-trimmed trees are fun and beautiful. The paths are flat and clear of obstructions (other than people stopping to take photos). There is a lovely little garden area, perfect for photo opportunities. And rising up out of the middle of the park is Rosenborg Castle. My stay in Copenhagen was eventful and activity-filled, going non-stop. But I wish I could have had some time to just relax and enjoy sitting in the park for a spell. Either way, you should at least appreciated it with a stroll through on your way to or from the castle. It is lovely.

    Kongens Have or King's Garden is the oldest park in Copenhagen. It was laid out in the 17th century by Christian IV who used it as his vegetable patch. Now, that's a REAL pimp. Truthfully, the garden is more breathtaking than the castle itself: romantic garden paths, immaculately presented flower beds, a marionette theater in the summer, a small cafe with a few benches near Kronprinsessegade (man, these street names!) and perfectly symmetrical trees. It kinda reminded me a bit of Paris' gardens. But the Danes have it better since they have a real castle inside this park. With a moat. And swans. Enjoy.

    A lovely picnic spot in the heart of Copenhagen. There are many beautiful gardens to explore, include the castle areas. The rose garden is particularly beautiful when in bloom.

    Really pretty park with gardens and wild life. It's worth walking through here just to admire how well-kept everything is. The path with trees down both sides is a great picture opportunity.

    Park was not too impressive during our visit here. It was green which is always a good thing for a park. Other than that, it was kind of boring. There were no flowers blooming. There was some sculpture art. Lots of trees. I did like the location which was in Copenhagen's City Center. Rosenborg Castle is located here also. I found that to be more interesting than the park itself. I'd wager that Kongens Have is more impressive other times of the year. Just happened that our visit was not one of those times.

    Spring has sprung!

    The thing that I love about Copenhagen is the abundance of parks in the middle of the city. This park is one of the nicest. It's smacked right in the city center, a merely walking distance from Copenhagen's busiest station Nørreport st. You can bring your picnic blanket and some food and enjoy the sunshine and the view of the beautiful Rosenborg Castle from afar. Although it's super cliche, it's still one of my favourite activities in the summer. On the winter, or simply colder weather, it's still a nice thing to walk through the park and have the feelings that the spring is just around the corner.

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.

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.

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.

    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!
