Christmas Plants – a Family Tour in the Botanical Garden

Discover a charming guided tour through the Botanical Garden's Palm House, where the season's plants, spices and fruits tell stories about Christmas traditions from around the world. Find out answers to questions such as: Why is cinnamon sugar a classic with rice pudding? What is the origin of mistletoe at Christmas? And where does the vanilla in rice pudding actually come from?

The tour lasts 1½ hours and starts promptly at the main entrance to the Botanical Garden (Gothersgade 128, Copenhagen). A maximum of 25 participants can join each tour. After the guided part, you can also enjoy the Palm House on your own within normal opening hours the same day – this is included in your ticket.
