Rosenborg Palace Gardens (Kongens Have)

This incredible attraction is full of well-manicured lawns and lush gardens that surround a picture-perfect castle built in the early 17th century.  The Rosenborg Castle Gardens may have originally been created to serve as the private yard of King Christian IV, but it has quickly become not only the oldest—but also the most visited—outdoor attraction in Central Copenhagen. 
Travelers can wander the colorful and fragrant Renaissance and Baroque Gardens, lined with fruit trees and statues.  It’s also worth exploring some of the various buildings that dot the grounds, including the Hercules Pavilion, the Wrough-iron grill and pavilions and the Rosenborg Barracks. Travelers will find a number of sculptures, like the famed “Horse and the Lion” that date back to the early 1600s. Rosenborg Palace Gardens is the perfect place to spend a morning or afternoon exploring and relaxing in an environment that’s as magical as it is beautiful.
