"My favourite place in Copenhagen is The Royal Library Garden – a small, beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. The garden is located on Slotsholmen, between Christiansborg Palace and The Royal Library. It’s filled with flower beds and old trees, and in the centre, there’s a small pond.
It’s amazing how such a peaceful and charming spot can exist right in the busy city centre.
People come here to have picnics, read books, take a walk hand in hand, and on warm sunny days, they enjoy the sun and sunbathe. The garden is surrounded by Danish history and old architecture, yet it feels very cosy and welcoming at the same time."
Can you recommend a Danish author?
"If I were to recommend a Danish author to those learning Danish, especially beginners, I would choose Helle Helle. Her everyday stories, for example from the collection "Biler og dyr" (Cars and Animals), are simple in both language and plot, making them very reader-friendly. But there is also depth and many subtle reflections between the lines, offering insight into Danish life, mentality, and values. This makes them particularly exciting to read, especially if you want to get to know Denmark and the Danes better."
