Copenhagen

Here are a few pictures from our day in Copenhagen. We pretty much walked the entire city. I think we hit most all the most recognized spots. We didn't go into Tivoli, the large park with concerts and amusement rides because of the cost.

Rosenborg, castle in the city park that now houses many of the royal jewels and a museum.
The round tower (aptly named).
Gefion Fountain near our favorite church and the Little Mermaid statue.
Our favorite church, an St. Alban's Anglican church.


The kids in front of the most famous Copenhagen site: The Little Mermaid, from Hans Christian Andersen's story of the same name. He is the most famous Dane.
Nyboder: Homes built for the royal navy in the 1600's. This street has the only remaining original homes. The others in the area were built in the 1700's.
Alexander Nevsky ChurchThe Marble Church near Amelianborg Palace, the royal residence.
Amelianborg and the Marble church behind us and the Opera House in front of us. Seen below:



The Royal Danish Theater.
The stock exchange with a very interesting tower made from the tail of 4 dragons.


Nayhavn, the most famous street in Copenhagen. Also, the prettiest!
