Any time I’m in a European city, you can bet I’ll be Googling all the castles in the area, and Copenhagen sure delivered on that front! The third day of our trip marked our first (of many) castle excursions in and around Copenhagen, along with a visit to the third-oldest amusement park in the world!

In 2019, we travelled to Copenhagen. Day 2 was a whirlwind of fairy tale dreams coming true, theatre life in the Danish court, and the best hot dog I’ve ever eaten. Let’s dive right in!

Back in 2019, we travelled to Copenhagen, Denmark for our vacation that year and had a blast adventuring around the city and surrounding areas. What with travel feeling a bit like a thing of the past right now, I’m going to travel vicariously through my past self and share our trip’s highlights!

It was our last day in Scotland and I was incredibly sad about having to leave, but my spirits were infinitely cheered by the fact that we would also be visiting our last castle of the trip: Craigmillar Castle. Continue reading “Exploring Ruins: Craigmillar Castle – Edinburgh Day 9”
We spent a beautiful sunny day visiting the beautiful Holyrood Palace and Gardens. Holyrood is the active palace of Edinburgh, so it’s where the Queen stays when she comes to Edinburgh. As such, no pictures were allowed inside, which is such a shame because it was soooo gorgeous in there. Imagine glitter, gold, and history all rolled into one, and you might be able to start yourself a picture of the wonder that is Holyrood.

After a week in Scotland, we left Edinburgh for the day to head over to Stirling and visit the astounding Stirling Castle. About an hour’s train ride away, it was nice to relax on the train and watch the Scottish countryside go by while we were brought to our next destination of adventure. And what an adventure Stirling Castle was! Probably one of my favourite days of the trip, we spent all day in Stirling exploring every nook and cranny the castle held.

When I was in London, I braved the London Dungeon, and I survived to tell the tale. So knowing that Edinburgh also had a Dungeon, naturally I decided to brave it as well. Continue reading “Braving the Edinburgh Dungeon – Edinburgh Day 6”
We spent a relatively lazy Sunday visiting the Writer’s Museum, going on a writer’s walking tour, and ending off at the Edinburgh Museum. Continue reading “Getting to Know Scottish Writers – Edinburgh Day 5”
Our fourth day in Edinburgh was spent hiking and finishing our visit to the National Museum of Scotland we were too tired to complete the day before. I never thought I’d be hiking up a volcano in Scotland, but there I was, hiking up a volcano in Scotland. Continue reading “Climbing a Volcano and Eating at the End of the World – Edinburgh Day 4”
Our third day in Edinburgh was spend wandering the National Museum of Scotland. This was an incredible place, one of the coolest museums I’ve been to – which is saying a lot. The place was huge too, with a vast and diverse collection; we couldn’t even finish it one day, we had to go back the following day to see the rest. It was an exhausting, but well-spent day.
