Copenhagen Botanical Garden
Botanisk Have
A 10-hectare botanical garden in the city center, whose 19th-century cast-iron and glass Palm House is among the most beautiful greenhouses in the city.
Part of the Natural History Museum of the University of Copenhagen, the garden holds a collection of about 13,000 plant species and includes a rock garden, lakes and several greenhouses. Its centerpiece is the Palm House, built in 1874; beneath its Victorian-style cast-iron dome are tropical plants and a spiral staircase. Entry to the garden is free. The Palm House is free or charges a nominal fee, and the butterfly house opens in summer. It is located on the north side of Nørreport Station, next to SMK and Rosenborg Palace.
