Proposal locations in Copenhagen? I am planning to ask my girlfriend to marry me in a few weeks and have never been to Copenhagen. Where would be a cool spot?
Edit: thank you everyone for your suggestions so far, I really appreciated it. Just to elaborate, by ‘cool’ I’m looking more for a little known beauty spot which will be amazing for a private moment between us, none of the more public or well known attractions are what I’m…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Landbohøjskolens Have as a beautifully maintained, tranquil urban oasis. Its meticulously labeled plants offer an educational experience, while the serene atmosphere and abundant benches make it ideal for peaceful strolls and quiet relaxation. Some note the strict rules against noise and ball games, which contribute to its calm but limit more active pursuits.
"This small park is very well maintained and has a lot of beautiful and interesting flowers, bushes and majestic very old trees.
All plants have a name tag with the Latin name as well as the Danish name.
The park was very peaceful when I visited and felt like a very nice place to relax. There are many benches in the whole park so you can find a spot that suits your mood and preferences.
Definitely worth a visit."
Allan Simonsen
"A beautiful, extremely well maintained park! So many small pathways leading always very nicely close to the plants but in a way that makes you feel like you are on an adventure. There was a beautiful array of flowers and plants you don't normally see.
There is a good amount of grass space around for the sun worshippers. Lots of bins and benches.
Definitely recommend a wander through this garden!"
Emily Keye
"This small park is a gem hidden away in Copenhagen (Frederiksberg). It is being kept but the gardener students of the school that is situated right next to the park.
Every plant, tree, bush, etc. has a small sign telling the name of the species. This makes the place feel so serene, because you can really go on a journey and get to know the names of so many things, you might not have known already.
The are a bunch of small pathways leading through the trees and bushes, making a walk through the park feel adventurous and magical.
It is not allowed to play ball/throw freesbee, listen to music on a speaker, grill, bring dogs or bicycle. This makes the park enormously calm and quiet. So if you wanna go for a peaceful stroll or wanna sun bath (should the sun ever be out 😉) then this is the place to visit.
I highly recommend this park! One of my favorite green spots in Copenhagen 💜"
