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 Garden is free. Within the garden is the Palm House and Butterfly House, which costs…read moreDKK 60. In the Palm House it can be quite humid, especially when you go up the cast-iron spiral staircase. Some of the plants are overgrown, so it's a bit difficult to walk the pathways. The Butterfly House was the highlight, with various colored species fluttering around.

This is Kongens Have, the King's Garden -- spread just beyond Rosenborg Castle, where Danish…read moreroyalty once wandered. It's a broad, open expanse of green, mostly lawn, trimmed and tidy, with long walking paths that crisscross between patches of trees and neatly kept flowerbeds. Marble statues stand watch here and there -- noble, a bit weathered, as if they've seen centuries of quiet afternoons like this one. No one's playing games or picnicking or frolicking -- it's more a place for gentle strolling, for couples holding hands or locals cutting through on their way home. It's pleasant, peaceful, even regal in its restraint. But honestly? Not quite the showstopper its royal name might suggest. A fine garden, yes -- but more for the calm than the spectacle.

Beautiful museum and it's free too. The collection and exhibits are quite amazingly mesmerizing…read moreand it taken from varies period in time. 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.

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. 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.

Kulturnatten - Culture Night - is the second Friday in October and involves the entire city of…read moreCopenhagen. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The museum itself is absolutely lovely and gorgeous…read more If you have kids it's definitely worth a visit on weekends where they serve an amazing brunch and have a children's work shop where the kids can use clay, paints, glu guns and you name it! There's even an academy educated employee to help the kids in their project. You can't bring your pram, but they have complimentary Stoke prams/strollers. But come early to be sure to get one. On the first Sunday in the month they have a kids project on the scene. It can be an art instillation with yarn or make your own home with cardboard boxes. My 3 years old loves it. The brunch is wicked and homemade from scratch and very nordic. Admission to the museum is free but the kids workshop costs 45 kr.
