The esplanade and the public park are finely laid out; and portions of the sea are fenced in to protect bathers.
The old quarter is united with the new town by a bridge which is continued in an esplanade leading to the basilica, the church of the Rosary and the Grotto, with its spring of healing water.
There is, however, a handsome esplanade between the town and the citadel, and a promenade by the seashore towards Castrades.
One of the four is inhabited by the king, the second and third by the crown prince and other members of the royal family, while the fourth is occupied by the coronation and state rooms. The Ameliegade crosses the plads and, with the Bredgade, terminates at the esplanade outside the citadel, prolonged in the pleasant promenade of Lange Linie skirting the Sound.
There is a good race-course and polo-ground, a fine cricket-ground on the esplanade, three golf courses, and several clubs.
