A beautiful city indeed, the busy port city of Copenhagen dates back more than 850 years. The world’s oldest amusement park, Tivoli Gardens, calls Copenhagen home, as does The Little Mermaid statue.

The city has grand palaces, including Amalienborg, the royal winter residence, and Rosenborg Castle, home of the Danish Crown Jewels. While we were touring Amalienborg’s huge inner courtyard, two of the residences were being used by the royal family as evidenced by the flag flying on top of the “apartments”.
