Det Kongelige Biblioteks Have Copenhagen
Hidden oasis
Right by the city's bustling heartbeat, tucked away in a hidden inner yard, lies a place offering a chance for a sweet retreat from the upbeat capital rhythm.
Just a few hundred steps away from the Danish parliament  — Christiansborg  — one can find Det Kongelige Biblioteks Have. The charming small garden of the royal library allows you to unwind in its serenity, either by admiring the picturesque scenery or simply taking a break on one of its many benches whilst gazing at the beautiful fountain.
If you're still curious after passing by Søren Kirkegaard's statue, you could stroll into the royal library and might even catch an exciting event if it's your lucky day.
