The botanical garden has been around since the 1600s. At that time it was a royal gift which were used only by medical students.

Today botanical garden belongs to the the University of Copenhagen. Besides being a popular destination for locals, it is also a living museum.
Here you will find the largest collection of living plants. You will also find preserved plants and fungi from all over the world.
Today, the garden’s most important task is to maintain a rich and living plant collection for research, teaching and dissemination.

My own experience: I have been in the botanical garden even if it is about to be many years ago. It is an exceptionally beautiful garden, which is worth a visit.

In Danish: Den botaniske have har eksisteret siden 1600-tallet. I sin tid var det en kongelig gave, som kun blev brugt lægestuderende.

I dag hører botanisk have under Københavns universitet. Udover at det er et yndet destination for københavnere er det også et levende museum.
Her finder du Danmarks største samling af levende planter. Derudover finder du præserverede planter og svampe fra hele verden.
Idag er havens fornemmeste opgave, at opretholde en rig og levende plantesamling til brug for forskning, undervisning og formidling.

Mine egne erfaringer: Jeg er været i Botanisk have selvom det er ved at være mange år siden. Det er en ualmindelig smuk have, som er et besøg værd.
