Discover the stories of the garden

This is no ordinary park. Winding paths lead you through a series of spaces where views, elevations and planting create changing experiences along the way. In some places, the landscape opens up, while hedges and greenery elsewhere create smaller, more secluded settings.

During the tour, the museum guide explains the design of the garden and the connection between the landscape, the architecture and H.C. Andersen's literary work. You'll hear about the ideas behind the different garden spaces and discover details that are easy to overlook when exploring on your own.

An experience for visitors and locals alike

The garden walk is ideal if you'd like to learn more about the surroundings of H.C. Andersen's House or experience the garden with a guide. The tour offers a different perspective on the museum and shows how the outdoor areas have been designed as an integral part of the overall visitor experience.

Even if you've already explored the garden independently, the guided walk can provide new insights into the site and the many considerations behind its design.

Practical information and booking

Open garden walks are arranged regularly, allowing individual visitors to purchase a ticket and join other guests. Current dates and tickets are available through H.C. Andersen's House.

If you would like to arrange a tour for a group, it can be booked directly with the museum. Group walks are led by the museum's own guides and can be arranged by contacting H.C. Andersen's House.
