Today, I went off and explored more of Copenhagen. I started at the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. It was interesting. It was sort of hard since everything was in Danish, with few things translated into English.
The ceiling had the 8 (or 9) planets.
Cool ceiling to look at the stars.
After exploring, they should an IMAX film of space and just how small we are, and then went onto a video regarding polar bears. I was able to plug in earphones to hear it in English.
The Tycho Brahe Planetarium building.
The view from the Planetarium
The entrance to Tivoli - Happy Halloween!
The middle of Copenhagen.
This is the chapel of the Trinity Church in the middle of the Strøget. It is connected to the Roundtower.
Beautiful organ.
The view of the Stock Exchange. It is three Dragon tails entwined.
The view from the Tower of Christianborg Castle.
Tivoli from Christiansborg.
The Church of Our Lady
The bottom of the Christiansborg Castle - it shows the beginning of the first castle in Copenhagen.
I, then, went on to the Stables. They had saddles dating back to the early kings.
And carriages...
Yes, those are real horses. They are the Queen's horses that are used still today. These were beautiful white horses.
Christianborg Castle coming from the stables
I went into Christianborg Castle to tour it. This is the seat of the Danish parliament, the office of the Prime Minister, and the Supreme Court. You had to wear blue booties as you walked through.
The beautiful library. There were over 90,000 books that go through this library.
The Grand Hall. The works of art that now hangs in Rosenberg Castle used to hang her. Now, there is modern art all around the walls.
It is very interesting. In the middle of the room, there are books that explain each of the pieces.
The Crown Room
Isn't Copenhagen beautiful?
Once again, the middle of the city - with a temperature gauge.
