 Royal Gardens Close to Amalienborg |
Toldbodgade Copenhagen Denmark |
Amaliehaven's royal gardens were donated to the city by the A.P. Møller Fund and Møller's wife Chastine McKinney Møller. When the gardens were laid out in 1983, they were strongly debated and criticised. By now the people of Copenhagen have accepted and grown to love the beautiful gardens, where you will find many exotic plants and trees. There is a magnificent view over the harbour and to Amalienborg Slotsplads with Saly's equestrian statue and the Marble Church. The gardens were designed by the Belgian Jean Delonge. The four bronze pillars and the two fountains were created by Italian sculptor Arnoldo Pormodoro. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The End Of The Road |
Nørrebrogade Copenhagen Denmark +45 35 37 19 17 http://www.assistens.dk |
Assistens churchyard is Copenhagen's biggest cemetery. It was originally a place where smaller churchyards would be located to, as well as being a churchyard for the poor. Today it is open to all citizens to use. Celebrities, such as H.C. Andersen, Søren Kierkegård, Jens Juel or Martin Andersen Nexø are all buried here. There are plans to turn the churchyard into a park, as the local people already use it as a place to meet with there loved ones or to sit in the sun in the summer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Baroque Garden from the 1600s |
Fredskovhellet 43 Copenhagen 3400 Denmark |
Frederiksborg castle's Baroque gardens date from the 1600s. At one point it fell into disrepair and then simply vanished; in 1996 the gardens were re-landscaped and re-opened, though. You can now once again admire the big waterfalls and the fine parterre with Frederik IV's monogram written into the box hedges. In general, the garden's style is more English, meaning Romantic and elaborate, than Baroque. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The City of Many Opportunities |
Roskilde Inlet Roskilde Copenhagen 4000 Denmark +45 4631 6565 (Tourist Information) http://www.destination-roskild... |
In the Middle Ages, Roskilde was a trading town, and in the Viking period it had been a centre for ship-building. The city is beautifully located at the end of Roskilde Inlet, 30km west of Copenhagen. It is easy to reach by both train and car. Roskilde offers a wide selection of interesting attractions for visitors, primarily the exciting Viking Ship Museum. Located just by the inlet, this museum's collection is based on archaeological finds of Viking ships in that particular area. Roskilde Cathedral, located at the highest point of the city, is also interesting and beautiful. Here, Danish kings and queens have been buried for the last 800 years. The Cathedral also shows the changes that have taken place in architectural styles in that time. The old ferry Sagafjord is famous for serving delicious meals while you enjoy the views over the inlet. The main street should also be mentioned, with its preserved old town houses and the lovely park. In general, the city offers lots of experiences and sights to see. Not far south of the city you will find Lejre Forsøgscenter and Ledreborg Slot. Review © 2007, Wcities |
