Parks and open spaces in Copenhagen
open-in-new
<p><a href="/facts/Copenhagen/58Tl28IX">Copenhagen</a> is a green city well endowed with open spaces. It has an extensive and well-distributed system of <a href="/facts/Park/J1I4aCHg">parks</a> that act as venues for a wide array of events and urban life. As a supplement to the regular parks, there are a number of congenial public gardens and some cemeteries doubling as parks. It is official municipal policy in Copenhagen that all citizens by 2015 must be able to reach a park or beach on foot in less than 15 minutes. </p>
