Back in Copenhagen

Nyhavn
Hannah, Stephanie and I went to a delicious Italian restaurant here before seeing the Royal Danish Ballet perform at the Opera House across the water. We even took the ferry boat to get there!

Christiansborg Palace 
Parliament is on the right side and the royal quarters are on the left. We got a tour of the original foundation built in the 12th century by Bishop Absalon as well as the royal quarters. The palace was burned down three times in its history and the most recent was completed in 1928. The royal family doesn't live here anymore, but they still welcome visitors and hold events in the palace every so often. We couldn't take pictures of the inside, but it was beautiful!

The Library gardens
The building in the back is the original library, which now has an addition to it on the other side known as the Black Diamond. There's a cafe inside with the best hot chocolate!

The Royal Ballet puts on Et Folkesagn at the Opera House

This is one of the most modern and expensive opera houses in the world designed by architect Henning Larsen
