Wander through Østre Anlæg, a historic park of ponds, sculptures and open meadows next to the SMK gallery. Circle the water at an easy pace, then pick a bench and enjoy the quiet.
Full description
Østre Anlæg is a historic park in the København Ø district, with ponds, open fields, sculptures and a hill that becomes a popular sledding slope in winter. Reviewers describe it as more naturalistic than many city parks yet beautifully maintained, with plenty of water and enough space for a relaxed walk or an easy run.
It sits close to the SMK national gallery, so it pairs naturally with a museum visit. The park hosts concerts in summer, is free and open around the clock, and suits roughly 45 minutes of strolling.

Much more wild nature but also beautifully maintained. Lots of water and open fields. A great walk.
