The Botanisk Have - the botanical garden in Copenhagen (Denmark) has an excellent Victorian tropical greenhouse.
In winter, when you want to warm up a bit while walking through the city, it is very nice to visit this greenhouse.
For all the information on this botanical garden, for instance on the history, see: botanical garden in Copenhagen see also: Botanisk Have (in English and Danish)
Winding cast iron staircases lead you up and down (one way traffic) to and from the gallery high up. It is a bit challenging when you are afraid of heights, but it feels good to walk "through" the tree tops. The lens of the camera gets a bit foggy making the pictures a bit mysterious.

This Victorian Greenhouse is of course the right place to see the fantastic Victoria Regia's. I never forget to visit them, but the last time I was there they were gone... Just an empty pond where they used to be. Maybe they come back, but I still had some earlier pictures. The most wonderful leaves I have ever seen.
