'''Frederiksberg''' [http://www.frederiksberg.dk/English.aspx] is in Copenhagen.
Frederiksberg might look as a part of Copenhagen to a traveller. But the municipality of Frederiksberg is actually an island inside the municipality of Copenhagen.
The inhabitants of Frederiksberg have historically been richer than their neighbours around them.
Although the rest of Copenhagen is catching up, Frederiksberg still have more parks, big villas with gardens, wide avenues, etc.
Get in
A lot of bus routes go through Frederiksberg. The metro stations '''Forum''' and '''Frederiksberg''' are in central Frederiksberg.

The baroque palace dates back to 1699 and used to be a royal residence, today it functions as home of the Royal Danish Army Officers Academy. It can be viewed from the gardens or on the monthly tours.
City Hall (Radhuset). mallegade 1-3. 45 38 21 21 26. ttp://www.frederiksberg.dk/OmKommunen/English.aspx. ours the first saturday each month at 1pm. The massive city hall took 10 years to complete, because the city council failed to see World War II coming, and war time turned out not to be the best period getting materials. The somewhat oversize building might be a result of rivalry with the city of Copenhagen, and its impressive city hall. Enjoy the great view from the tower 60 meters high, but call ahead to make an appointment

Europe tracing its history back to 1859, in recent times focus has
shifted from displaying as many animals as possible, to providing large
- world class facilities - to the animals, earning the zoo a reputation
as one of the best in the world. Recent projects include a large, open,
savannah area where the native wildlife mixes with each other, and a
large elephant house designed by Normann Foster. It is the only zoo outside Australia to have Tasmanian devils on display, and the zoo is amazingly kids friendly, with many play areas, and some hands on animal displays throughout the zoo. The Zoo has a restaurant, fast-food places, and you are allowed to bring your own food, and eat in the picnic areas.</see>

Robert Storm Petersen (Storm P) was a famous Danish artist and author, his humorous works is often regarded as something quintessentially Danish. The museum owns more than 50000 drawings (of which only some are on exhibition). Storm P is mostly known for his comedic drawings of "philosophical" vagabonds and his much loved Storm P machines, that perform very simple tasks through an unnecessarily complex and usually humorous series of actions.

role in the history of Danish theatre, it is only natural that you find a museum dedicated to art form here, telling its story from the early beginnings 200 years ago up to today's stand-up comedians. Unfortunantly mainly caters to Scandinavians with some command of the local language, as the multimedia part of the museum, is the best.</see>

Frederiksberg Have
This park is one of Copenhagens largest, most attractive and popular green spaces, covering more than 30 hectares (75 acres) of parkland. It was originally part of the palace grounds, and is a mix of baroque and romantic era landscape garden. When the weather is nice the park is full of life, with kids playing around, intermistic soccer and freesbee games, and young couples kissing on the benches. If you walk around to explore the park, you'll find a few surprises hidden around the park; The ''Apias Temple'', located on the hill leading up to the palace, is a greek style temple build in 1802, the classic look combined with washed out graffiti, makes for some interesting photo opportunities, if you're a geek. Elsewhere the ''Chinese gazebo and bridge'' was constructed in 1803, and was used as a tea house for the royalty on the palace, it sits on an island surrounded by a canal, and is open for visitors every sunday afternoon. For the kids and other playful souls there is also a ''park labyrinth'' facing Pile Alle, and in the winter there is an ice-skating rink at the main entrance (don't worry there is rentals if you happen to have forgot to back your old skates). And in the summer you can rent a boat and row around the canals. Remember to end your visit with lunch or dinner in the wonderful ''family gardens''' on the southern edge of the park.
