About
Botanisk Have is a botanical garden in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark, and makes a calm change of pace from the city's busy streets. It is a park built around plants, with thousands of species gathered from around the world.
What to see
- Historic glasshouses, where the warmer and more tropical plant collections are kept.
- Themed gardens, each arranged around a different group of plants or a particular way of growing them.
- Peaceful paths, which invite a slow walk and a chance to stop and look.
Who it suits
The garden is a good fit for anyone who enjoys nature and quiet surroundings. Photographers will find plenty to frame, from the greenhouse interiors to the planting in the open gardens. Families looking for a relaxed outing, with space to walk and look around, will also find it easy to spend an unhurried few hours here.
Because it sits within the city, it is simple to combine a visit with other parts of Copenhagen, making it an easy stop between sightseeing, shopping or a meal out. For up-to-date details on visiting, the garden's official information is available through the Statens Naturhistoriske Museum website, at snm.dk/en/botanical-garden.
