Frederiksberg

Travel Guide
Copenhagen Zoo which includes land animals, zoo animals and interior views
Revel in the large royal parks, gardens, historical buildings and elegant shops of this fashionable part of Denmark's capital city.

Frederiksberg is a fashionable and upmarket enclave of trendy boutiques, wide, tree-lined avenues and old buildings full of character. It is also known as the green village of Copenhagen on account of the big open green spaces including a park that was created for an 18th-century king. Visit an underground art exhibition space, shop for food and fashions and stroll through beautiful parklands.

The main road running through Frederiksberg is its principal shopping street, Gammel Kongevej, translated as King's Road. Browse its many clothing shops and enjoy its cafés and sushi restaurants. With your taste buds enlivened head over to Værnedamsvej, a small street favored by foodies for its delicatessens, specialty food stores and restaurants.

After exploring the neighborhood's shops take advantage of the scenic splendor and tranquility of its parks and gardens. Enjoy the sights and sweet fragrances of the Rose Garden, the University Gardens and the Royal Danish Horticultural Society Garden. Amble through the long grass and forested landscape of Søndermarken Park. While you are here, venture below the park to explore The Cisterns. These subterranean passageways used to be a reservoir supplying water to the city but are now used to host art exhibitions.

One of Copenhagen’s largest parks is Frederiksberg Gardens. It is in the grounds of Frederiksberg Palace, which was built as a summer residence for King Frederik IV who ruled Denmark and Norway from 1699-1730. Walk among exotic trees and rent a boat to sail along the park’s canals. Then go on a guided tour of the early 18th-century Baroque palace. Next door to the former royal residence and gardens is Copenhagen Zoo, home to thousands of animals including tigers and polar bears.

Frederiksberg lies close to the city center, a short walk from Copenhagen Central Station. It is an easy place to get around with an efficient public transportation system and bike lanes. For drivers, there are public streets in the area that have free parking for the first 2 hours. Residential streets have restrictions and time limits. Enjoy this suburb’s shops, history and gorgeous green scenery.
