Botanical garden
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Copenhagen, A Scandinavian jewel
That’s the Copenhagen botanical garden on your left! If it’s open, don’t hesitate to enter and take a look. While you follow a route spanning over 10 hectares, you’ll find more than 13 000 plants, as well as an imposing greenhouse containing palmtrees, carnivorous plants and Arctic plants. This park was built in 1600 for King Christian IV of Denmark, designed to house medicinal herbs. Open to public, professors and their students are allowed to come observe to learn more about these plants. Pharmacists and doctors can also visit for research or training. In these 27 greenhouses, you’ll find the largest collection of vegetation in Denmark, including pine trees and daisies, the country’s national flower. A nice walk awaits you in this multicolour garden!
