Copenhagen Botanical Garden is centrally located and easily accessed by train from Malmö. Well worth a visit.
A winter garden as well as majestic art, is what you find at Glyptoteket. ”Glyptoteket has been open to the public since 1897 and holds over 10,000 works primarily divided between ancient antiquities and Danish and French sculpture and painting from the 19th century.”
Forstbotanisk Have is an arboretum from 1799 is a bit north of Copenhagen. Originally built for for the University of Copenhagen and it still contains impressively large and – for the Scandinavian climate – exotic trees.
A favorit place a bit outside of Copenhagen is Louisiana, Museum of Modern Art with an amazing architecture, a sculpture parc by the sea and very good exhibitions.
