Botanical Garden, Copenhagen

Getting around: Central Copenhagen, near Nørreport station and a short walk from Rosenborg Castle.
Hours: Gardens open daily, typically 8:30-16:00 to 18:00 depending on season; the Palm House and greenhouses keep shorter hours and are closed one day a week, often Mondays. Free entry to the gardens.

Copenhagen's Botanical Garden is a large, free public garden near the city center, with a historic 19th-century Palm House as its centerpiece and a wide range of plant collections spread across ponds, rock gardens, and greenhouses. It's a genuinely restful green space in the middle of the city rather than a specialist botanical destination.

It's an easy, free stop worth an hour or more, and pairs naturally with Rosenborg Castle and the surrounding museum district given the short walk between them.
