We arrived at 7:15am. After eating, we gone on
Christiania, a free neighborhood in Copenhagen. It is a special place which does not belong to European Union. T
here reigns a special atmosphere, especially at night. Small streets, illuminated by lights old barrels around which passengers come to warm themselves. After that, we came to a communal Youth Hostel : Sleep'in Heaven were there was other French from VIA University. We slept at 9 by dormitories for 17€ per person.

Saturday :
I lived early in a morning to visit a maximum that possible. I began with a National museum, a very big and interesting place about the history of Denmark... and it is free ! I spent 3hours on different periods of a country. It is a very interesting place. I have learn a lot about Danish history, habits, culture ans politic choices.
Then, I went to Christiansborg castle, just in front of the National museum. It was the residence of Royal family until some years. Now, it is a prime minister house but also supreme courses and Danish parliament. The entrance is 60DKK for student. The building is furnished like as the Royal period and we can notice beautiful parquet and colors of tapestry.

After that, I was very angry, so after work around the building, I found a restaurant in Christianshavn.Then, I went to Vor Frelsers Kirke, a church which bring a tower to access to a view of a city. Unfortunately, it was close until April.
So I continued my walking in different street and come back to Christiania by day. The experience is different. There is a lot of people, especially tourist, and we really see the aspect of a street. It looks a little like a neighborhood to leave himself. Clean but without road maintenance... Cars are banned and nature begin to recover this right on asphalts.

I continued to walk around the canals, until joining The Play House, a large modern building. On returning to the Youth Hostel, I went through the Royal Theater, the current residence of the queen, Nhyavn : the most famous street of Copenhagen with houses of all colors along a canal bordered by sailboat. Then I continued through the pedestrian streets and lively downtown. Many street artists of quality accompanied allow passersby to different styles of music.

Sunday
I lived the Hostel around 10am and I went to take a breakfast in a Danish coffee. It was very very very tasty ! Then I had visited the Rosenborg castle. It was a summer residency of a Royal family. Now, we can visited. The decor is very busy and I think it is not very interesting. On the other hand, there is a Royal Treasure exposition in a same place and this is to see. Then, I had profited of a big garden close to the castle. I had the opportunity to see the changing of the Guard.
