Also known as Rosenborg Garden, the beautiful King's Garden in central Copenhagen is the country's oldest royal gardens.

Right beside Rosenborg Palace, its lovely lawns are a popular spot for a picnic in the summer, when the huge flowerbeds are in bloom.

Laid out in the early 1600s during the reign of King Christian IV, the gardens are a popular retreat in the centre of Copenhagen today, and are visited by an estimated 3 million people per year.

It's hard to imagine today that they were restricted just for royal use for around 100 years.
