| One of our excursions was to the Rosenborg Castle, which was right across the street from the botanical gardens and only a few blocks from our hotel. Rick Steves had rated this attraction pretty high, and I was interested in seeing the crown jewels! So we took our cameras and headed out to the castle to see how the Danish royals lived til the 1900s. | Una de nuestras excursiones fue ir al Castillo Rosenborg, el cual estaba al frente de el jardin botanico y solo a unas cuadras de nuestro hotel. Rick Steves (un escritor de turismo) en su ranking de atraciones tenia este lugar como uno de los puntos altos y yo estaba interesada en ver las joyas de la corona! Asi que tomamos las camaras y nos fuimos al Castillo para ver como la realeza Danesa vivio hasta los 1900s. |
| Inside the castle we toured every room on three different floors. It’s amazing how close you can get to every item – they aren’t blocked with glass and many of the exhibits aren’t roped off. It was SO tempting for me to sit on chairs and touch the artifacts…in fact at one point I couldn’t resist and I touched a sword to see if it was still sharp…and it was. And I got yelled at. Oops! Anyway, it was incredible to see everything so up close and personal. I was able to get some really fun photos around the castle for your viewing pleasure. | Dentro del Castillo paseamos por cada cuarto de los tres diferentes pisos. Es incredible lo cerca que se puede estar de cada objeto – no estan bloqueados por vidrios y muchas de las presentaciones no estan cercadas con cuerdas. Era TAN tentador sentarse en una de las sillas y tocar los artefactos…de hecho en un momento no me pude resistir y toque una espada par aver si todavia tenia filo…y si lo tenia! Y me gritaron que no podia tocar. Ups! Pero bueno, fue increible ver todo tan de cerca. Pude sacar algunas buenas fotos alrededor del Castillo para disfrutar. |
| The throne room was amazing, and we were lucky that not many tourists were in there so I was able to get some cool shots of it without gawking tourists. After the throne room we went down into the treasury in the basement and saw the crown jewels – and a million other jewels and jeweled swords and sword hilts – it was incredible! Photos don’t do it all justice, but you get the idea. | La sala del trono era increible, y tuvimos la suerte de que no muchos turistas estaban ahi asi que pude sacar buenas fotos sin turistas arruinando la foto. Despues del trono, bajamos al Tesoro en el subterraneo donde vimos las joyas de la corona – y un millon de otras joyas y espadas y decoraciones personales – fue increible! Las fotos no hacen justicia, pero dan una idea. |
| The castle was beautiful and it was surrounded by a gorgeous park and rose garden, full of mama ducks with their ducklings and other birds flying around a sweet pond. After we left the castle we walked around the grounds for a bit taking photos and checking out the roses – actually we were sad to see that two of the rose bushes had rosette! Of course Javier would spot that kind of thing…but all in all a beautiful afternoon! Definitely well worth the visit! | El Castillo era hermoso y estaba rodeado por hermosos parques y jardines de rosas, llenos de mamas patos y sus patitos y otros pajaros disfrutando de la laguna. Despues que dejamos el Castillo, caminamos alredor de la propiedad para sacar algunas fotos y ver las rosas – la verdad es que nos dio pen aver que varias de las rosas tenian rosette! Claro que Javier se daria cuenta de esas cosas…pero despues de todo fue una tarde muy linda! Definitivamente vale la pena visitar! |

I’ve been there twice! Fantastic! It’s a must see if you like to see a smaller Royal palace. This was a former “country Summer house” for the Royal family, but not since the city grew to it and around it. It in close walking to a large art museum. You can get there on the Hop on hop off bus, which drives by other points of interest too.
