10 Gardens in Copenhagen That You Shouldn't Miss
Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Had a fantastic night at Tivoli with friends, 'Little Disney' was very well kept with beautiful gardens and water features. The rides were AMAZING, we went on The Golden Tower and The Star Flyer, also The Demon which was a super-fast thrill seeking roller coaster and Vertigo which is both scary and gets you in fits of giggles at the same time. A little dark at night along the paths etc but very different in a city centre, fully enjoyed our trip to Tivoli and would definitely go back.

Amaliehaven is located nearby well-known Amalienborg castle. This park is very nice and calm and perfect for resting or reading a book. You can find there fountains and a lots of green and numerous beautiful trees and flowers. What is interesting in this park they are located four columns and fountain sculptured by Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro which look like parts of set design for sci-fi film.

It is the largest library in the Nordic Countries and one of the largest in the world. With 37+ physical units and 2.5+ million electronic titles, the library is still expanding it's offerings. The library was founded by King Frederick III in 1848 who contributed his collection of European works at it's founding. The library however was not open to the public until 1793. Today, it is open to anyone aged 18 years or older with a genuine need for its' use. Referred to as the Royal Library, it is a compilation of the National Library of Denmark, the University of Denmark Library with contributions from several other libraries. Among its' collections are all the printed works in Danish since the 17th century which includes works dating back to 1492. Other notable entries in the archives include an original Guttenberg Bible, Soren Kiergaard"s works and Hans Christian Anderson's manuscripts and correspondences. The older part of the Det Kongeglige Bibliotek which can be seen today was built in 1906. The central hall architecture l is copied from Charlemagne's Palace Chapel in the Aachean Cathedral. The more modern space is called the Black Diamond because of its' glass and matble construction materials. The Black Diamond has transverse corridors, a large atrium and is 8 stories high.
