GTR-DVD-1218 - Due to its magnificent architecture and wonderful park, Copenhagen's Rosenborg Slot is a fairytale-like castle. It has also enjoyed a long tradition as a museum and since 1838 various collections belonging to the Danish royal family have been exhibited within its walls. For more than a hundred and fifty years the rooms and halls of the castle, such as the study of King Christian The Fourth, have been open to the public. Today a walk through the rooms of Rosenborg Slot is tantamount to stepping in the footsteps of the Danish royal family. The transformation of the castle into a museum took place in the 19th century. The idyllic royal gardens of Kongens Have are in pleasant contrast to the dominant and historical splendour of the castle. Along with its park, Rosenborg Slot is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Copenhagen.

GTR-DVD-1209 - Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is rich in tradition and a cultural metropolis open to the world and thus justifiably one of the most popular travel destinations in Northern Europe. Many of the city's royal residences such as Christiansborg Slot on Slotsholmen Island attract huge numbers of visitors. A castle was built there in the 12th century by the founder of the city, Bishop Absalon. However, over the course of time the castle began to decay until it was finally pulled down in 1369 in order to make room for a new castle. Royal guards highlight the significance of Amalienborg that is situated in the heart of Frederikstaden, the winter residence of the Danish royal family. Each day at noon an impressive spectacle takes place in front of the palace when the royal guards march into the square and undertake the official changing of the guard. The wonderfully designed royal gardens of Rosenberg Castle, Kongens Have, is one of the most beautiful parks in Denmark. Built on red bricks and covered with a façade of sandstone the castle is an architectural masterpiece of Dutch Renaissance. The city's castles not only reflect the history of the Danish royal family but also trace the colourful development of the fascinating city of Copenhagen.
