University of Copenhagen Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in central Copenhagen, Denmark

The garden spans 10 hectares and features a collection of more than 13,000 plant species, with several climate-controlled greenhouses and a 16-meter-tall Palm House.

Founded in 1600 at Fiolstræde street, the garden moved to its current location in 1874 after King Christian VII reclaimed the previous site at Amaliegade.

The garden serves as an educational center for the University of Copenhagen, hosting research activities and maintaining Denmark's largest collection of preserved plant specimens.

The garden opens daily from 8:30 to 18:00 in summer and 16:00 in winter, with free admission to the outdoor areas and a fee for greenhouse access.

The garden contains a butterfly house that opens during summer months, allowing visitors to observe tropical butterflies in their complete life cycle.
