Parks and Gardens
Parks and gardens are scattered throughout Copenhagen, and some of the finest are located right next to museums. So, the next time you visit one of these cultural landmarks, be sure to explore the green gems waiting just outside.
Møstings
Experience changing exhibitions of contemporary art in Møstings – a small exhibition space in a classic villa, beautifully located by Frederiksberg Garden. After your visit in Møstings, you can buy a freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea from the little museumcafé and bring it with you on a walk in one of the most attractive greenspaces in the city.
SMK
SMK is located in and around the romantic Østre Anlæg park. With its winding paths and hilly terrain, the park was once part of Copenhagen’s ramparts. Within the park, you can still see the outlines of the old fortifications. Designed in a natural, landscape-like style, the park features many wild herbs, perennials, and grasses, along with a rich variety of wildlife.
Karen Blixen Museum
The cutting garden is located between woods, the grazing meadow, and the pond. It contains large beds of flowers and plants, which were cultivated and enjoyed by Blixen at Rungstedlund during her lifetime. They are a reflection of her love of, and interest in, gardening, and still help to provide the museum with much-admired floral bouquets.
Rosenborg Castle
The King’s Garden in Copenhagen is a historic park located in the heart of the city. Originally created in the 1600s as a private garden for King Christian IV, it remains one of the city’s most cherished green spaces. While you’re there, be sure to visit the park’s main attraction, Rosenborg Castle, home to the Danish Crown Jewels.
The Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden is especially known for its beautiful landscape, attracting both plant enthusiasts and visitors seeking a green retreat. The Botanical Garden is also part of the Natural History Museum Denmark and hosts various exhibitions and activities throughout the year.
