Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, Denmark


A royal painting of some Danish king and queen. The Queen is wearing a large diamond tiara and beautiful fairy princess dress.

Wrought iron railing inside the palace. The "M" is Queen Margrethe II's monogram.


 I visited the Christiansborg Palace at Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July of 2011. I paid about $15 to see the reception rooms, as the royal family does not use this palace as a residence, only for entertaining distinguished visitors.


 The video I took inside the palace. It is sooo pretty!

I don't think I was allowed to take photos in the palace, but there weren't any signs that said not too. I just hid my camera whenever a guard walked past me!
