"Denmark's crown jewel of flora awaits at the Botanical Garden, a sprawling haven for nature enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Located just steps from Nørreport Station, this free public green space offers a chance to unwind amidst a staggering collection of over 13,000 plant species.As you wander through the meticulously maintained gardens, you'll encounter a diverse array of plant life, each section dedicated to a specific region or theme. Explore the vibrant tapestry of Danish flora, marvel at the resilience of high-altitude plants in the rock gardens, or lose yourself amongst the towering conifers of Conifer Hill. A recent addition, the rhododendron garden, explodes with colorful blooms when in season.
The garden's rich history unfolds through its collection of 27 19th-century glasshouses. Dare to ascend the 16-meter, cast-iron spiral staircase within the iconic Palm House, a testament to Victorian engineering ingenuity. Additionally, a unique air-conditioned greenhouse allows visitors to witness the wonders of Arctic plant life flourishing under controlled conditions.
The Botanical Garden offers more than just a visual feast. A dedicated growth house fosters plant life under controlled conditions, while a charming flower shop caters to your floral cravings. Refuel after your explorations at the on-site café, and during summer months, be sure to visit the butterfly house, a vibrant haven for these fascinating creatures (separate entry fee applies).
The Botanical Garden forms part of the esteemed Parkmuseerne museum district, nestled within the vicinity of King's Garden. A short five-minute stroll from Nørreport Station grants access, and a Parkmuseerne ticket unlocks the doors to six exceptional museums within the district."

"In this park (or rather: botanical garden), you can chill out next to the water and admire a few sculptures showing ancient mythological figures.
The Palmehuset, which is part of the Botanisk Have, is worth going into. The greenhouses are a perfect background for some candid shots. The entrance fee aids research on the conservation of many different plant species.
With your ticket, you gain access to the Palmehuset as well as the National History Museum for a full year. If you’re a fan of natural history, you can use the same ticket to get a 50% discount on the 7 other natural history museums spread throughout Denmark. If not, simply sit by the water enjoying some Danish snacks while overlooking all kinds of plants."
