A Weekend in Copenhagen
Day 1
The Round Tower |
We then headed to the Round Tower, an observatory which the king used to drive his carriage up to look over the city. An easy enough climb for some great views, and luckily the weather cooperated pretty well! We continued our amble through town to Rosenborg Castle. There’s a couple of castles in the city, but we thought this one looked the nicest. It sits in a large park, and is relatively small, but is also home to the Royal Treasury. We spent ages taking photos of the building, before actually venturing inside. I didn’t learn much history (typical me), but it was cool to look around. Our wander then took us past the Marble Church, which is stunningly beautiful inside, and Amaliensborg Palace, home of the Danish Royal Family. We didn’t go inside this one, but took plenty of photos around the courtyard, and of the guards, then got a few more snaps looking out across the harbour to the Opera House.
Christiansborg Palace |
We finished by taking wander through the shopping streets, getting mostly excited about the Disney store and then the Lego shop. However, most of the shops were similar to what’s back home, and I wasn’t there to do much shopping. We also had dinner at an American diner place called Mad (not exactly local I know!), which served us some really great burgers, for a fairly decent price. We spent the evening in the flat, because we were pretty exhausted from the day.
