Frederiksberg is an enclave city within Copenhagen, famous for its gardens and royal palace. It is a place eagerly chosen for weekend trips, walks and to eat a good dinner because the local restaurants are considered to be one of the best in the capital.
Although Frederiksberg is located in Copenhagen, it is a separate city. It has its own authorities, limits, it makes its own law. It is considered an exclusive place, and the atmosphere of the local boulevards and restaurants is compared to Paris.
At the beginning of the 18th century, King Frederick IV ordered a new royal seat to be built, which would refer to the most important royal residences of that period in Europe. This is how the Frederiksberg Palace was created, from which the city takes its name. It still belongs to the royal family, and the surrounding baroque gardens and the romantic park are open to the public. Its attractions include the possibility of boating on the ponds and the Copenhagen Zoo, which is located here.
Frederiksberg's attractions are primarily related to outdoor activities. Numerous parks allow for walks, running, cycling and other physical activities. The wide selection of restaurants and bars ensures a rich nightlife and is known for its excellent cuisine.
