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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a truly strange tourist attraction. And, I use that term,"Tourist Attraction," lightly…read more It is said that this place is the home to many of those who live an alternative lifestyle in Copenhagen. They claim that this area is completely beyond the rules and the laws of Copenhagen. In some ways, that is pretty easy to see as the main street is lined with people selling weed and hash, which is still illegal in Denmark. Copenhagen is not Amsterdam. Though a bit sketchy, this city within a city is very well maintained. I am sure there is some other story going on here. ...One that we will never know. This being said, what you will find here is some of the best street art and graffiti that you will witness anywhere across Copenhagen. Of course, it is clearly stated all over the place, "No Photos." But, I'm guess that is more to keep the people dealing drugs safe and off the radar than anything else. One of the funny/interesting things I find about this location is that tour buses actually pull up to it. I don't know, maybe it's just me me, but if you are truly embracing an alternative lifestyle that all seems rather intrusive. Nonetheless, this is an interesting place. Even if all you do is look at the great street art, it is worth the visit.

Obviously the marshy land around was terraformed through massive military engineering, beginning in 1620, with the distinctive star shaped citadel and surrounding moats being complete sometime in the late 1600's. It's a working Danish army base with soldiers and guards. But they allow tourists to just walk around...if I didn't know see other tourists around, I would have felt very uncomfortable...like I was in a place I wasn't supposed to be. I came in from the south via the bridge (where vehicles would also come in, sharing the road with pedestrians). One can go up to the ridge and see around as well. I walked out through the front bridge, which had been blocked so only walkers could come in. There are a few artifacts inside the fort, representing the history of this place as a protector of this city during history.

During my walk around here, I was a little disappointed, which might've been my fault. I was…read moreexpecting a lot more military stuff than what I saw. Instead, as I came to find out, it was more like a park. First walking through the front gate, you are greeted by these two long rows of buildings that line the street. But, as you continue to walk around, that is all it really is. Nothing super exciting, and borderline boring. If you do visit, the main thing you should focus on is the walk along the walls. You get a nice view of the surrounding area. It is really cool to see the walls from on top, and you get to see the various fish in the moat surrounding the fort.

Located on the rooftop level of a design-forward parking lot in Copenhagen's Nordhavn neighborhood, there are two steep stairs you can access the playground from. Once you're at the top, a fence protects the space, but you can still see amazing views of the water and city. There are bars, climbing structures, benches, trampolines and a net that offers a view straight down into the parking garage. For a unique experience, I recommend stopping by!
