When in Copenhagen I strongly recommend to visit the ‘Rosenborg Slot’. Why? Because it has beautiful and fascinating sprawling gardens. It is a little nature oasis tucked neatly in the middle of bustling Copenhagen.
Interestingly, the castle is built in Dutch renaissance style, which made me actually think twice when I saw the castle—‘Hmm, the castle design is quite familiar, I saw this somewhere…’
The castle’s reception halls and ballrooms, and the crown jewels are a great attraction as well worthy of meticulous inspection. The castle isn’t that big anyway so it’s not like you have to mount several floors and go through a maze of drawing rooms and hallways to see everything. I will however post the castle quarters and the crown jewels separately because I took lots of (as usual) pictures. I promised myself not to overload each post with too many pictures, although sometimes I just cannot help it.
Anyway, I came to visit Rosenborg Castle around mid-noon and I wanted to first check out the gardens. The mother and daughter that I met were very enthusiastic about the gardens. And they were both right. The place is lovely, grand, spacious and relaxing.
It’s in fact amazing to see the blue skies when earlier in the morning it snowed. Denmark is quite like the Netherlands, a forever cold doomed country with unpredictable weather, although it seems that its better in Denmark because here in the Netherlands we rarely get blue skies after a grey one.
The estate grounds are called ‘The Rosenborg Castle Gardens’ also known as the ‘King’s Garden’. It’s located in the city centre so when in town there’s no excuse not to go here.
My pictures of course below:

You have to pay to get inside the castle and I think the fee to see the crown jewels is separate. I did not really mentally note how much the entrance fees are because I used the cOPENhagen card that waived my entry.
