The old and crooked houses are now beautifully renovated and are filled with cozy restaurants and bars. We stroll the area where H.C. Andersen loved and stayed for long time.
Frederik’s Church
It is called The Marble Church because so much marble stones were used as building material. It took nearly 150 years from the start building to the church opening. The dome is biggest in Scandinavia and the interior is also impressive. We can go inside to feel the space and the silence. It stands elegantly close to the Queen’s palace, Amalienborg.
