kongens have.

Favorite thing: kongens have (the kings garden) is one of the favorite places to hang out for the people of copenhagen if it´s sunny.
it´s a pleasant park situated right in the center of copenhagen and in the middle of the park you have one of the nicest castles in copenhagen, rosenborg.
a very nice park for a picknik, a game of football or just some sunbading.

The Secret Garden

The Library Gardens
1 more image

Favorite thing: This for me was a quiet little get-away in a busy city centre. It was like walking into a secret garden. It is actually the library gardens, which is a beautiful spot. It has a lovely fountain, with ducks paddling around, large trees, flowers and the stunning red-brick library.

There is a statue here of the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard is known as the 'father of existentialism'. (Existentialism is a popular philosophical movement, where life is not so much of the biology of a human being, but of the key characteristics, feelings of a person, like: freedom, fear, consciousness of existing and awareness of death).

To me these gardens seemed to be like a little haven. And while a lot of people (particularly locals) are probably aware of these gardens, it still felt like a secret garden to me, that not a lot of people knew about.

Directions
An entrance to the gardens can be found on the South-East side of Christiansborg Slot.

It's a jungle out there

Favorite thing: Inside the Botanic Gardens you'll find the Palmehus. This is a a glass building where they created a rainforest. In the main hall, you can even climb up to see the trees from above. And there are many smaller rooms with all kinds of plants you'd associate with a jungle.

fountains and trees

Favorite thing: Pleasant, formally laid-out gardens at the intersection of Gothersgade and Kronprinsessegade. This would be a nice place to bring a picnic lunch - just not on a rainy day!
