Copenhagen
Frederiksberg Have - Frederiksberg Gardens
Romanticism is the Only Experience Here
The Garden, more than 300 years old, is one of the famous green area in Copenhagen. I always thought Valby Park to be the most beautiful park in Copenhagen until the mid-Spring day we visited the English-styled Frederiksberg Gardens. Valby is closer to our home and we took the back entrance.
At first, we saw narrow paths crisscrossing with a big signboard in Danish at a corner—joggers plugged with ipods, iphones and other sophisticated gadgets ran past us. Not sure of which route to choose, we chose the one leading to a waterbody. We gasped at the little fountain with ducks and wooden statues with the Swiss cottage at the background. That was only the beginning—there were more such splendors throughout the park. Till date, this stands as the most romantic park we have ever set foot into...
The garden exceeded our expectations; streams, ponds, fountains, boathouse, Chinese Teahouse, Apis Temple, Swiss Cottage, chic bridges, glorious flora and friendly fauna, all in one place. Dainty avians kept us company with their 'koos' and 'quacks'. The Frederiksberg Summer Palace, true to its name, reflected the summer mood in its soft yellow painting.
Children played in the hammocks and some were bidding farewell to their pacifiers at the Pacifier Tree. Friends and families had a quiet time. Many romantic nooks and corners offered refuge to lovers; a bride was blushing in her grandiose white gown.
Ducks, swans, magpies, pigeons, storks (yes, storks) and many other birds (I have no idea of their names) enjoyed the place as much as we did. We could only wonder at the sheer number of colors splattered in the park: left-over autumn colors, whitish pink of the cherry blooms, shades of green in the lawns and trees, rich brown of the bare trees, yellow and red in the tulips, silvery black of the streams and brilliant melange of colors in the birds.
There were kiosks and restaurants around the park. Only thing I didn't like about the park is the toilet which was outdated and ill-maintained—not something I ever expected in the spotless Copenhagen.
A picture is worth more than a thousand words, so here are the clicks from the garden.
