The Copenhagen Short List, 7 of 12: The King's Garden


Laid out in the early 1600s as the kitchen garden of Rosenborg Castle, this is Denmark's oldest royal garden. Today its lawns fill with picnics and games on sunny days.
Kids head for the fairytale playground and, in summer, a traditional puppet theater. Tree-lined avenues lead past a rose garden, fountains, the Hercules Pavilion and a statue of Hans Christian Andersen.
