Copenhagen Zoo

It's A Wild World Roskildevej 32
Copenhagen 2000
Denmark
+45 72 20 0200
http://www.zoo.dk
zoo@zoo.dk Copenhagen Zoo is one of the largest zoological gardens in Europe. It was founded in 1859 by ornithologist N. Kjærbølling, and was then a part of Frederiksberg Have. The landmark of the zoo is a tall watch tower (43.5 metres) and currently the garden where the Children's Zoo is located, is inhabited with animals like goats, cows and rabbits. Copenhagen Zoo contains over 2,500 animal and bird species from all over the world. In recent years great work has been carried out in order to create more space to create believable natural surroundings for the animals. In 1998, Christian Cold designed the new entrance, which is a piece of interesting modern architecture. Another highlight at the Zoo is the Tropical House consisting of rare birds and butterflies in their natural surroundings. Check out the boa constrictor and the poisonous spiders as well.

Frederiksberg Castle

Royal Castle at Frederiksberg Roskildevej 28
Copenhagen 2000
Denmark
+45 3613 2600 Frederiksberg Slot and the attached Slotskirken church have an excellent location overlooking Frederiksberg park and the city of Copenhagen. Frederiksberg Castle is connected especially with the name of king Frederik VI, but the castle was built as early as 1699, during the reign of Frederik IV (under the supervision of J.C. Ernst). The side wings to the castle were built after drawings by Laurits von Thura. Frederik VI used the beautiful yellow castle as his summer residence. Since 1869 the castle has contained Hærens Officerskole, the Army's Officer Training College. The public can visit the castle but call to inquire about opening hours.

Frederiksberg Have Park

Beautiful Park at Frederiksberg Frederiksberg Allé / Allégade
Copenhagen 2000
Denmark
Frederiksberg Have is a labour of H.G.H. Scheel and J.C. Krieger in the early seventeenth century, around Frederiksberg Slot castle. The idea of creating this garden was Frederik IV's, inspired by his trips to Italy. The style is Baroque, with strict axes of symmetry. Times changed, in the eighteenth century and so did ideals. Romanticism was prime time, what with English country gardens considered the epitome of perfection. Such tendencies corrupted the strict Baroque style of Frederiksberg. The garden ponds were connected by a network of canals twisted into a maze. Today you see grottoes with wells, a Chinese pavilion, temples, the Norwegian House and the fountain right in front of Frederiksberg Slot. A rich variety of bird-life, all exotic visitors from the Zoo nearby. In spring and summer, admire the flowerbeds in full bloom. The park is open from 6a till sunset.
