Frederiksberg Garden is a labour of H.G.H. Scheel and J.C. Krieger in the early seventeenth century, around Frederiksborg 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. You can see a rich variety of bird-life and some exotic visitors from the Zoo nearby. In spring and summer, admire the flowerbeds in full bloom. The park is open from 6:00 till sunset.

If you are tired of the noise and stress of the city and fancy a bit of fresh air and tranquility, you can be out of town in leafy Dyrehaven park in less than 15 minutes.

Visitors can also hire a horse-drawn carriage from outside the station at Klampenborg and take a ride through the park.

The oldest park in Denmark, the Kongens Have, was laid out when Christian IV commissioned the construction of the Rosenborg Castle in 1634. This emerald oasis was initially designed as a beautiful Renaissance pleasure garden, and the park still retains some parts of its original design.
