A Weekend in Copenhagen - in the Footsteps of the Kings

게시됨: 26.03.2023

On our last day, we had some time before our train was supposed to leave. So we decided to visit Christiansborg Palace.


Staircase in the Palace


It is the only building in the world where all government offices are located.


Velvet Hall


Today, it is the residence of the three branches of the Danish government: the Parliament Folketing, the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister.


The Green Room


Our tour of the grand rooms started in the Throne Room, where official guests are received.

The Great Hall with the colorful tapestries from 1990 is used for state banquets, which are often broadcasted live on television.

The dining room is no longer used because the table is so wide that you can't have a conversation...

I especially liked the Queen's Library, although it only houses a part of the royal book collection.

Next, we went underground: In the catacombs, you can see the remains of previous castles on whose foundations the current palace was built.


Ruins beneath the Palace


In the royal kitchen, there were all sorts of old pots and cooking utensils to see.

However, it is no longer used for cooking. The food for banquets is delivered.

In the nearby Palace Church, the royal family holds their religious ceremonies.

You have a great view of Copenhagen from the tower, which is the tallest in the city.

Although you might have to wait in line and go through a security check, the access to the elevator to the top is free.

Finally, we visited the royal stables.


Royal Stables


They only opened at noon - maybe because the horses were still being fed. In any case, all the horses were busy with their food and not interested in the visitors.

In the back of the stables, you could also see the carriages that were or are still used by the royal family.

After experiencing so much of the Danish royal family, we headed back to Germany.
