Day 9. Slotsholmen.

This will not be the last post on Slotsholmen. Just a tiny island (a few city blocks in total), Slotsholmen has an outsized aura of importance in the Danish Kingdom. It houses, among other things, Danish Parliament, the National Archives, the Royal Library, the Supreme Court, the country's stock exchange, the Prime Minister's office, the Queen's State Rooms, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Transportation and multiple museums. Valuable real estate, no doubt.

Much as I wish I could claim license for this picture, it was my friend who snapped it while we were walking across the canal from Slotsholmen at dusk.

L to R: Miljøministeriet (Environment Ministry), Børsen (Stock Exchange), Christiansborg Palace (Parliament)
