Wonderful Copenhagen Part 3

My last weekend in Copenhagen was spent biking all around the city, including through my favorite place to sit, relax and read a book on a nice fall afternoon - the lakes!

One of my favorite spots in Copenhagen - benches near the lakes!

Biking all the way along the lakes brings me past the planetarium.

Continuing the ride through the Frederiksberg and Vesterbro areas eventually leads to some great parks and the Copenhagen zoo.

Heading back into the city center, I notice that Tivoli Gardens has re-opened for the Halloween season, so I must stop in! My first weekend included a visit to Tivoli and so will my last.

On Sunday I biked to Amalienborg castle to watch the changing of the guard and visit some of the sites in the area.

The flag is flying over Amalienborg - someone from the Danish royal family is at home!
