Last stop was the maritime museum. It covered a lot of stuff including trade, life of a sailor, how to navigate, the girls in every port, and war.
Best bits were the interactive trading games, the first was old school and you took a book and bought things and walked to the next port to sell them, IRead more

The main reason to come here was to see Kronborg castle. It's basically another palace where the royals of Denmark used to hang out. Also probably the castle from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Most of the nice stuff was stolen by the Swedish apparently, also the tower was closed due to "safety" reasons orRead more

Travelled to Helsingør today to see a couple of things. Was a bit windy near the sea and it was sleeting.
They have their own shiny and manly little mermaid, also a fish made from rubbish found in the sea I guess.

The main reason for visiting Rosenborg was to see the treasury including the crowns.
The crowns were very cool and shiny. I preferred the older crown, if I was going to wear one in my castle. There were lots more jewels and gold but my favourite was the ship. It was made from ivory (I know boo!)Read more

Was considering relaxing in the evening but felt like I should do something, so I went to the opera to watch Turandot. It was in Italian, with Danish subtitles, so I had to read the storyline before hand.
It was good, enjoyed it... the ending though... It didn't follow the Wikipedia ending. ItRead more

Then I went up another tower, a round tower with a 'staircase' for horses, so they can enjoy the view too.
Also a working observatory (closed).
Then headed back to Nyhavn to grab some food and a strawberry hot chocolate. I'm not one for hot drinks but my hands needed warming up.

Then went into the fancy rooms of the palace that the queen uses when entertaining.
Got to learn more about their history including one king who went crazy, his physician took control, also took his wife, had a child, then got booted out, but the child then had a child who ended up marrying a laterRead more
January 25 in Denmark ⋅ ☁️ -2 °CVisited the palace next which was all snowy. First stop was the ruins under the palace of all the previous castles and palaces. It was cool to see the different layers built in to of each other, and logs being used as pipes, with metal bits passing the water between the logs.
