• Palm House needs a ticket, separate from the free garden, and booking a time slot online guarantees entry
• No scooters or ball games, and no bikes or climbing trees, so save running games for another park
• Palm House renovation means parts of the glasshouse complex are closed at times

Botanisk Have is a historic garden of about 10,000 plant species, run by the Natural History Museum Denmark. Paths wind past a lake with a deck, a rock garden and Observatory Hill, with a view of the city's spires.

The Victorian cast-iron Palm House holds giant bamboo, mangroves and carnivorous plants, and its Butterfly House has colorful butterflies among passion flowers and pineapple plants.
