#MyTravelStory2 The magnificent Botanical Gardens of Copenhagen. Take a walk and discover more than 13,000 species across multiple different sections including: Danish plants (600 species), perennial plants (1,100 species), annual plants (1,100 species), rock gardens with plants from mountaineous areas in Central and Southern Europe, and a Conifer Hill, planted with coniferous trees. One of the newer inclusions is a rhododendron garden. Along with gardens and historic glasshouses dating to the 19th century, the gardens also have three gene banks. The garden was first established in 1600 but was moved twice before it was ultimately given its current location, in 1870. The garden was laid out in 1874. The collection of 27 glass houses are particularly stunning.
