Close your summer out with a trip to Copenhagen! The capital of Denmark, this increasingly popular city will take your breath away!
Some well known tourist destinations are the Rundetårn, an observatory tower, and the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Filled with post-war masterpieces, allow yourself enough time to really absorb these works of art. Another Copenhagen favorite is the Carlsberg Brewery. With a museum and tasting room, this historic brewery is a must! Also, you will love a visit to the Amalienborg Palace, and be sure to take a photograph of the famous Little Mermaid statue!
RealTraveler European Jackrabbits gives highlights of this city:
“Our next stop was the Amalienbory Slot (or Palace). This is the current residence of Queen Margrethe II. The architecture is very different from back home in South Dakota. After the Palace we decided it was high time that we saw the Little Mermaid. Along the way and across the harbor the new Opera House can be seen. The final building of this structure was completed in 2005. It is a gift to the Danish people paid for by a Danish firm at the cost of 2.4 billion kroner (roughly 500 million dollars). Because it was along the way, we went into the Statens Museum for Kunst (Royal Museum for Fine Art). It contains a collection of Danish and European Art, with some dating back to the 13th century. Currently, the museum had on display the Royal Cast Collection. Now back to the Little Mermaid which is a famous statue that sits in the water. Of course, we all had to take a few pictures.” (more…)
Want to take the kids somewhere exciting? The Tivoli Gardens are the place to be! Enjoy the outdoors and these beautiful gardens as well as some music and nighttime entertainment!
RealTraveler Paul Whittaker tells of the Gardens:
“Saturday night was spen in Tivoli gardens. Briaden managed to win a pack of cards and a bouncy football after chancing his arm at some amusement games. There was a jazz festival on so we watched a couple of acts at the big outdoor stage then the night was rounded off with a top fireworks display.” (more…)
