Enjoy a rolling panoramic excursion through Copenhagen, taking in its most notable sights with a special accent on its Royal landmarks. Perched on her trademark rock not far from the pier, the bronze Little Mermaid is perhaps Copenhagen’s most iconic symbol. She’s not royalty but she’s much beloved. Christiansborg Castle has accumulated over 800 years of history as Denmark’s royal power base; these days it’s home to the Danish Parliament. A stop at its impressive granite-and-copper exterior promises a magnificent photo or two. The Old Stock Exchange sports a trademark spire formed by entwined dragons’ tails. The colorful gable-houses along Nyhavn quay house vibrant outdoor cafés and taverns, while famed Tivoli Gardens and the master-painted works at Glypotek Art Museum offer their own vibrant colors. But the real sparkle – in this case, Denmark’s precious crown jewels – resides within Dutch Renaissance-style Rosenborg Castle, built for King Christian IV in 1607. His crown and a hefty gem-studded sword are among the top treasures safeguarded here. Their Highnesses moved out of Rosenborg in 1710, leaving the interiors excellently preserved..
