Classens Have, Østerbro
In the heart of classic Østerbro, nestled between embassies, luxury apartments, and neatly trimmed hedges, lies Classens Have—a hidden, almost secret park that feels, more than anything, like a shared backyard for a neighborhood you don’t live in.
It is a park that invites play, socializing, and a little too much time in the sun. Here you’ll find cobblestone and gravel paths, Copenhagen-style benches, chestnut trees, and discreet perennial beds.
Local tip
My local tip would be to bring the kids and let them run wild—playing "the ground is poisonous," hide-and-seek on the secret paths, and climbing on the jungle gyms. There are also great activities for the littlest ones.
