Danish Aquarium

Copenhagen's Largest Aquarium

Kavalergården 1
Copenhagen 2920
Denmark
+45 3962 3283
http://www.akvarium.dk

Denmark's Aquarium is located in the Charlottenlund forest, very close to Charlottenlund palace. It is also very close to Øresund and the beach. Here children and grown-ups alike have the opportunity of studying the rare deep-sea species and many other fish and marine animals that live in the salt-water and fresh-water tanks. You will find sharks, piranhas and many beautiful turtles ranging from huge ones to really tiny ones. One special turtle has recently achieved fame, by swimming from the Mediterranean until it reached the North Sea and the beach at Jylland. Now this strong turtle is resting in one of the tanks in the aquarium. To get there, take bus number 6 and then the S-train to Charlottenlund station. There are free parking spaces at the Aquarium too. Entry fee: DKK75 for adults, DKK40 for children.

Dyrehaven Nature Park

Nature Park North of Copenhagen Klampenborgvej
Copenhagen 2930
Denmark
If you are tired of the noise and stress of the city and fancy a bit of fresh air and tranquillity, you can be out of town in leafy Dyrehaven park in less than 15 minutes. The park is great for walking, cycling and riding and is accessible at all times of the year (during the winter you can also ski). Visitors can also hire a horse-drawn carriage from outside the station at Klampenborg and take a ride through the park. Those lucky enough to visit Copenhagen in June should visit Hvidtjørrnesletten and see the ancient hawthorn forest in blossom - a sight you will never forget. Other attractions are Erimitagen, a former hunting lodge in the middle of the forest, Bakken, an amusement park similar to Tivoli and the Rådvad mill at Mølleåen.

http://www.ordrupgaard.dk Ordrupgårdsamlingen is a small, intimate museum of modern art. The museum can be found in a big, old villa, beautifully located in the middle of a park to which there is public access. The terrace and the park are both ideal places for moments of contemplation. The museum is famous for its temporary exhibitions of French masterpieces, mainly from the Impressionist period. There is also a fixed collection of Danish art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The museum has a café. To get there, get the S-train to Klampenborg or Lyngby, then bus 110.
