Copenhagen, Denmark

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Date visited: April 2013

By far our favorite place in Copenhagen was the Nationalmuseet (national museum). It was informative, entertaining, and free! There were bog people galore - apparently the ancient Danish were into human sacrifice via tossing people into the bog, so they're all really well preserved. The museum itself used to be some sort of castle, and a few of the rooms were decorated as they were when folks were still living there. All in all, it was a really great place to explore, and their brunch buffet was pretty darn tasty too.

To be honest, we weren't that impressed with Copenhagen. It was okay, but honestly we could have skipped it. But we tried to make the most of it while we were there, and did kind of enjoy our random tour of Christiansborg Palace. We checked out the castle ruins underneath, which weren't the most interesting (yay for unidentifiable piles of rocks!), but the video about the history of the building was unintentionally humorous, as it seems to have had a problem with fire. After the second conflagration we started making jokes about the king of Swamp Castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "So I built a third castle. That one burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp!" Later we wandered into the chapel portion of the castle and learned that it too had burned down on another occasion. We decided to leave before the building caught fire again, as it was clearly overdue.
