DANSK

Nyd synet af de mange kønne blomster (især i sommersæsonen), der bl.a. omkranser Mogens Møllers 8 m høje unikke kobberskulptur, der også fungerer som springvand – med fisk og ænder i. Ved timeslag springer vandet særlig meget.

Bibliotekshaven er et dejligt stille og roligt åndehul midt i den ellers pulserende storby. Bl.a. filosoffen Kierkegaard – som der er opsat en statue af i haven – kan man forestille sig har nydt stedet og tilbragt stunder her med eksistentialistisk tanketænkning.

Bibliotekshaven ligger på Slotsholmen mellem Det kgl. Bibliotek og Christiansborg Slot – tæt på havnen, ministerierne, Børsen og Tøjhusmuseet.

Der er gratis adgang både fra Rigsdagsgården ved Christiansborg og fra Christians Brygge på havnesiden.

Bibliotekshaven er åben dagligt fra 06.00-22.00.

ENGLISH

Enjoy all the nice flowers (especially during the summer season) around Mogens Møller's 25 ft tall unique copper sculpture which also is a fountain – with fish and ducks in it. At striking of the hour the fountain rises extra.

The Royal Library Gardens are a nice and quiet breathing-hole in the centre of the pulsating metropolis. One can imagine the philosopher Kierkegaard – of whom a statue can be found in the garden – enjoy the place spending long hours here doing existentialistic thought-thinking.

The Royal Library Gardens are situated at Slotsholmen between Det kgl. Bibliotek and Christiansborg Slot – close to the harbour, the central administration, Børsen and Tøjhusmuseet.

Free admittance from both Rigsdagsgården by Christiansborg and from Christians Brygge at the waterfront.

The Royal Library Gardens are open every day from 06:00 AM. to 10:00 PM.
