    Day 3 Copenhagen - Christianborg Palace

    August 3, 2018 in Denmark ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    So the day could start.

    Walked to see the Winter Garden at the Glytptotek museum, the museum was closed and we planned to come back in the afternoon.
    Well that was another story.

    Lovely little garden at the back of the museum with the biggest bees north of the Pennines.

    On to the Christianborg Palace which is a combination formal Royal Residence, Parliament building, Prime Minister's Office and Supreme Court.
    It’s a big place. Has 4 four museums and a lovely garden. Cleanest, best kept building like this we have ever seen.
    Helps when politicians have skin in the game.
    There has been a structure on the site since the 12th century and is the founding location of Copenhagen. The palace has burnt down twice and was only rebuilt in 1927. When it was last burnt in 1884, one of the problems with putting oot the fire was that the firemen were refused entry to the main hall of the place because the floor had just been waxed. Talk about house proud!
    Excellent way to spend the morning.
    We do not think this area has a drunk problem.
