Top Things to do in Zealand
10 Nature & Parks in Zealand That You Shouldn't Miss
Denmark's largest island is so much more than simply the home of the country's dynamic capital, Copenhagen. Zealand also offers a delightful array of holiday homes and villas, pleasing harbors and sandy beaches, fringed by forests where castles lurk. Major destinations include the UNESCO-designated, Dutch Renaissance-style Kronborg Castle in Helsingor and the Viking attractions, cathedral and music festival of Roskilde. To the south bobs a flotilla of beautiful and relatively untouched islands.

Had a fantastic night at Tivoli with friends, 'Little Disney' was very well kept with beautiful gardens and water features. The rides were AMAZING, we went on The Golden Tower and The Star Flyer, also The Demon which was a super-fast thrill seeking roller coaster and Vertigo which is both scary and gets you in fits of giggles at the same time. A little dark at night along the paths etc but very different in a city centre, fully enjoyed our trip to Tivoli and would definitely go back.

The Botanical Garden is a part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark. The Botanical Garden holds the largest collections of living plants in Denmark. If you are interested in botany and gardening or are just looking for an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, the garden is a great place to relax and find inspiration. Year round it is home to a variety of exhibitions and activities, for example the Palm House, the Butterfly House and guided tours. The Botanical Garden are open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:30 AM to 4 PM in the winter, and every day from 8:30 AM to 6 PM from May through September. Visiting the Botanical Garden is free, except for the Palm House where there is an entrance fee.

One of the newest inclusions is a rhododendron garden and the butterfly pavilion. Higly recommend!

Living within walking distance of Frederiksberg Have, this is by favorite place to go for a walk. The park is very popular among locals (especially among locals), it has a large population of birds (notably gray herons), and have a great free view of the elephants in the zoo (arguably better than the view you have from inside the zoo).

An absolutely fantastic beautiful nature, good hiking conditions, as well as the opportunity to get down to the water's edge of the cliffs. Remember a little warmer clothes if you come outside the tourist season.

Its located in north of Copenhagen in a quiet peaceful countryside. It's a very amazing place specially for those who love nature and antique. The trees are more than 100 years old and even if they fall from age no one will touch them. There are around 2000 deers, you can see them when they fight or run. There is also old castle which is left untouched for 350 years. Generally it's amazing place I every see in copenhagen.

The is like a small botanical garden of the University of Copenhagen. The is also a small café there and a small pond with ducks. It is free and worth a visit all year round.
