Copenhagen's largest park mixes wide lawns with 17 theme gardens, including a rose garden of 6,500 plants and the H.C. Andersen Oriental Garden. Kids head for the city's biggest nature playground at the north end, or the smaller one by the café. A 120-meter sandy beach on the water has changing rooms and outdoor showers, and the woods and lake shelter frogs, bats and kingfishers.
