Europe

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…)

Welcome to amazing Amsterdam! From dusk to dawn your day will be packed with adventure as you tour through the city.

A rather popular tourist attraction, the canal cruise or “canal bikes” allow visitors to take in the splendor the city has to offer. If you don’t have time to hop on board the boat during the day, consider taking the sunset or nighttime cruise, which offers magnificent views of Amsterdam, as it is outlined with lights. During the day, be sure to go through the Van Gogh Museum, which holds the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Finally, for a truly moving experience, take a tour of Anne Frank’s House where she and her family hid from the Nazis during World War II. Visitors to the house will never forget Anne Frank or her courageous story.

RealTraveler Lauren77 describes her trip to Amsterdam:

“On Saturday, we woke up and went to the Van Gogh museum. It is the largest Van Gogh museum in the world with over 200 of his paintings. It was very crowded, but the art work was spectacular. My favorite part was the pointilism. After that, we went on a canal tour to the old harbour and all around the city. The city of Amsterdam was built on water so there are canals everywhere. We got to sit at our own table on the boat and take pictures of the sites out the window. Amsterdam was freezing, but it was sunny everyday so that was good. After the boat tour, we headed to the Heineken Experience. The actual brewery doesn´t have tours so there is a special museum just to show tourists how the beer is made” (more…)

RealTravelers Dave & Nikki explore Amsterdam:

“We woke early the next day and headed straight for the Anne Frank House. You are able to walk through the annex were the family lived for two years. Such an emotional experience.

After we hopped on a canal boat tour on the canals. It was a great way to see the city. All the buildings lining the canals have such character. many in bright colors and leaning a bit too! It´s a uniquely beautiful city. I love it! We hopped off the boat and hit the Vincent Van Gogh museum. Dare I say Dave enjoyed it! We had lunch in the museum cafe before heading to the Heineken Brewery. We learned all about the green bottles and were given 3 glasses for sampling (licking lips)…..aaahhhh! So why stop there? Next we settling into a pub to watch Man Utd play Reading and have a few more. We finished our day at Wagamama´s for some spicy asian food.

One of the coolest things about Amsterdam is that everyone rides bikes. You have to be be on the look out at all times. The bicycles come at ya from every direction!” (more…)
