The King's Gardens
«The King’s Gardens, also called Rosenborg Castle Gardens, are the oldest royal garden in the country, originally a Renaissance garden for Christian IV in the early 17th century. Nowadays, the gardens are a popular breathing space in the centre of Copenhagen and are visited by 2.5 million people every year.
The gardens also have something to offer children in form of an artistic playground inaugurated in 1998 beside the statue of Hans Christian Andersen.
In 1999, the Hercules Pavilion, built in 1773, opened as an outdoor café. On a walk though the gardens you will also encounter a rose garden, a large herbaceous border and a sculptures of all shapes and sizes.
During the summer, the gardens are the setting for a lot of music and theatre events, including puppet theatre for really young children.»
