"Sanctuary in the City Situated just next to the hustle and bustle of Norreport Station, Ørstedsparken has a small lake, gorgeous bridge, and series of flowerbeds and tree-lined walkways that make it easy to forget you're in a major city. The park is stunning year-round but at its most beautiful in late spring and early fall. Join locals in the park for BBQing, sunbathing, and relaxing while snacking on lunch or downing Carlsberg or Tuborg purchased at a nearby 7/11, Netto or Fakta."

This park completely stole my heart. 💚 It’s beautifully designed ~ a calm oasis right in the middle of the city. Ducks gracefully swim across the lake in the center, while people relax on the grass, reading books or enjoying a picnic with friends. There’s such an effortless harmony between nature and people here. Everything is so clean, peaceful, and well-maintained that it feels almost surreal. Copenhagen really knows how to create spaces that make you slow down, breathe, and simply enjoy life. ✨

Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen is an absolute gem for a leisurely stroll. It's truly a lovely and pretty escape right in the heart of the city. The well-maintained paths wind around a picturesque lake, which was once part of the city's old fortifications, giving it a unique historical charm. You'll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery, beautifully designed flower beds, and a variety of trees, making for a serene and delightful walk no matter the season. It's the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and simply take in the natural beauty that Copenhagen has to offer.

The bench in the park is truly a wonderful place for many to gather. It's nestled in a prime location, perfect for enjoying the surroundings. The design of the bench allows for ample space, ensuring comfortable seating for all. It encourages conversation and the sharing of stories, fostering a sense of community. One can find solace here, a place to unwind and take a moment for themselves. This bench provides a haven for relaxation and reflection. The simple presence of the bench enhances the park experience, making it more enjoyable for everyone.

It's a wonderful park for walking and reading. Its natural beauty is captivating. Huslar Lake and the flowers are truly relaxing. It's nice to be in the city center. People want to escape the noise and relax.

Nice escape point from the city crowded. Well preserved and sunny days many people come to sunbath and spring season everywhere full of flowers and cherry blossom. There are open and close kids playgrounds, and also you can find a coffee shop where you can enjoy with friends and chill.

A very beautiful park with a nice lake in the middle. The wild life is quite impressive with lots of birds and fish, as well a few turtles that I saw. The park is well kept, with very little litter. My only complaint is there is not a lot of places to lay down or sit. I visited on a Sunday and it was quite busy. Would recommend!

An interesting place. Quite a dynamic landscape for an inner city park. Nice bridge and water feature fountain.

A very nice park. My wife and I are visiting Copenhagen and came across this park during a morning stroll. It was pleasant, and no obvious undesirable people around that has become common in many parks throughout Europe and Scandinavia.

Lovely park with multiple rolling (dirt surface) paths, beautiful gardens, flowers & ponds, play areas, and lots of benches. We sat at the coffee shop inside to people and bird watch for quite awhile.

Staying at the nearby SP34, my friend and I enjoyed walked through this small park on the way to explore the city. Gates that close in the evening guard the park and trails guide visitors past statues, trees and a small pond with a bridge with views of the city. It's a peaceful escape from the city.

A beautiful green park in a lovely city, I was able to walk the paths of the Ørstedsparken and enjoy the views of the lovely lake. It was built after the old fortification ring was decommissioned in the 1870s and the section of the moat is now the lake at the center. There are a number of statues and monuments in the park including politician and jurist Anders Sandøe Ørsted, and the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted. Several classical replicas of statues owned by Carl Jacobsen (Head of Carlsberg brewing) are also about.

From forts to parks Back in the 1870s a series of fortifications were decommissioned in Copenhagen and the wise city leaders decided to build three public parks where the old forts were. One of these parks become the 16 acre Orstedsparken. The park was opened in 1879 and even included some cool ponds made from the old moats of the fortifications. Loads of flowers and unusual trees as well as a whole lot of statues of famous people and various odd and bizarre objects. The park is lovely and well used and visited by local folks and tourists alike. Lots of families can be seen playing and relaxing on the grassy areas by the ponds and the several walking paths are used all year long. Unfortunately the park has received some bad publicity after some idiot radical bomber asshole tried to set off a bomb a while back and was captured in the park. Various other unfortunately incidents have taken place over the years but most of the crimes have occurred well after dark and were people involved in various nefarious activities. During the day the park is about as safe and friendly as anyplace could possible be. An absolute lovely and stunning park that is a beautiful piece of nature in the rather bland and stoic central Copenhagen. The people back in the 1870s had the right idea when they decided a slice of nature would be a good use for some obsolete military fortifications.

Lovely park around a kidney shaped lake / pond. Nice views. Some sculptures. Flowers. Lovely to visit on a warm late spring day. People lay out when it's warm.

Despite whatever you have heard about this park (and believe me you heard something ranging from ridiculous to nasty stuff), it's really an oasis in the middle of the city. There's a reason why I love Copenhagen (although I must admit that I unfortunately don't go so much to parks), it is the fact that this city has so many great parks inside the city centrum. Take Nørreport st for example, the most busiest station ever in Copenhagen and it's still walking distance to three great parks (Kongens Have, Botanical Garden and Ørstedsparken). Ørstedsparken is relatively small, but it has beautiful layout (big pond and bridge over it) that makes you just want to spread some blanket and have some picnic there. There's døgnnetto nearby so it's easy to get some eating supplies before going to the park. The size isn't that big either so it's easy to get in and get out again. Need a break between your busy day in Copenhagen? Take a chill pill here between the swans and the trees

We wandered on this ny chance, walking down o HC Andersen blvd. As we were crossing the street we noticed the small entrace that immediately opened up into a large green with a lake. with the central bridge it almost looks like two lakes. Plenty of sun worshippers out on this day as it was 65 degrees F. Lots of cool statues hidden here and there with nature in full bloom and birds calling out on every corner. Certainly a great place to relax of you want a slow pace or just have nothing better to do than lounge.

This is hands-down one of my favorite central parks. The location is smack dab in the center of the city. The fall colors and reflections in the lake, which is protected from the wind, are absolutely stunning. In spring the tulip gardens which are swapped out regularly just above the old wrought iron bridge are also incredibly beautiful. The same flower beds are swapped out regularly throughout the winter and the remainder of the year ensuring they are always in bloom and full of color.

Really beautiful park! Copenhagen is pretty grey and, at least directly around this park, didn't have a lot of trees or anything, so this was a nice contrast to the streets directly outside. My toddler loved running around and looking at the bridges and ducks.
