Botanical Garden

I went there twice (at the end of summer and the middle of autumn) and I don’t get enough of it!
It’s a free open garden with a pond, paths, a café and benches all around. It’s such a beautiful place to visit, relax, appreciate plants and maybe have a picnic or a reading moment. Each plant or tree that you see have their own sign indicating the name of it. The garden has also the Palm House which is a big crystal greenhouse, beautiful to see from the outside! To get in you need to book a ticket first which i haven’t done yet.
I would recommend checking the weather and the opening hours before visiting it so you can be chill about the time, since they start asking you to leave like 15 minutes before closing. Also, maybe check their website for special exhibitions that you may be interested in.
Also, not all of the paths are accesible for wheelchairs, but most of them are.

An autumn visit in the rain for me. Sadly, quite a bit of the gardens were inaccessible due to renovation work which are part of a long term project reaching into 2025.
But the gardens breathe out their relaxing walks, and variety of shrubs and trees along the meandering pathways. The huge ponds reflect the skies beautfully and are even amazing in the rain. I can easily imagine their beauty in better weather!
The gardens form art of Natural History Museum at the Univeristy of Copenhagen, holding the largest collection of preserved plants in Denmark. Impressive!

Entrance to the gardens is free (incl toilets). The design of the magnificent iron and glass Victorian Palm House (1872-74) was inspired by Crystal Palace in London built for the 1852 Great Exhibition. Tickets need to be bought to visit this.
The gatehouse sells guides, souvenirs as well as small plants. Plants are botanically labeled and clear to see for most.
Overall a very pleasant and interesting visit. Will have to return on a sunny day once the renovation work is complete. :)

Outstanding! Truly! I loved this place. Once inside you feel like you’re walking in a forest, or jungle at times! A vast array of trees, plants and flowers. The butterfly room was a highlight. The gardens outside are stunning too, and lovely secluded areas with benches and water running by. Really relaxing.

A very nice place to visit in Copenhagen, free entrance except the palm tree house. The place is undergoing maintenance, still a lot of green space, plenty young ones with kids, a nice pond, a lot of species of flowers and plants. A nice shop at the entrance makes available to buy water, ice cream and souvenirs.

At the moment, the garden is undergoing a lot of renovations, so not all areas are accessible. The parts that are, are beautiful. I especially love the cactus garden hill area. Very neat!

Portable toilets available and plenty of benches to sit on and ponder life.

60 kr to enter the palm garden.

No dogs allowed in this garden. 🐕

Botanical garden, beautiful for walks or just relax in beautiful nature. There is a lake and water lilies. We were not inside the botanical garden due to a large group of students. So I recommend coming in the morning to enjoy the tour without so many people. Admission to the park is free

I had a wander around Copenhagen and found the Botanical Gardens. What a lovely place. There was a lot of work going on, so I couldn’t explore the whole gardens, but it was evident that a lot of work has already been done. The parts that had been refreshed were beautiful to walk around and I even managed to squeeze in a delicious ice cream from a vendor in front of the glasshouse. I would love to return once the work has been completed and would recommend the gardens to anyone. They were clearly a popular spot to chill and relax on a warm day.
