copenhagen III - palaces
My Copenhagen apartment was close to a number of palaces so I visited three of them - the Amalienborg Palace, the Christiansborg Palace, the Rosenborg Palace and another historic area, the Kastellet.
The Christiansborg Palace contained some very grand reception rooms but I was most taken with the Royal stables and the beautiful white horses housed within.
The Rosenborg Palace is located in the Kings Garden and it's a beautiful doll's house of a building.
It's filled with treasures and the treasury housed in the dungeon is just spectacular.
The Amalienborg Palace was just 5 minutes walk from my flat, so it was one of the last places I visited before leaving Copenhagen.

I visited the museum but was most taken with the exterior.
I was on the bus heading towards the station when I spied a windmill. I did some research and discovered it was part of the Kastellet, a star shaped fortress.
The Kastellet was a complete surprise to me.
I arrived really early and found the place was alive with joggers and dog walkers.
Another jewel in Copenhagen's crown.
If I get the time, I'll be back tomorrow with some more photos from Copenhagen.
See you all again soon,
Jillian
