Gardens and parks

This beautiful park is named by its close proximity to Amalienborg Palace. The park was designed by the Belgian landscape architect, Jean Delogne, and adorned with sculptures from the Italian artist, Arnaldo Pomodoro.

It is a green oasis in the middle of the city, protected from both noise, and wind, with beautiful flowers of all shapes and colours.
