So then, we took the bus to the centre and visited the Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket. That's Carlsberg as in the beer and this is a truly impressive collection of sculpture and works of art, originally the private collection of one man. There's a lot of money to be made in brewing.
Downstairs a collection of sculpture, including several Rodins.
And a full-scale winter garden.
Upstairs, a comprehensive selection of French Impressionist paintings.
And from the roof terrace, spectacular views over the city.
This is as close as we came to the thrills of the Tivoli Gardens.
We ended the morning with lunch at the Canal Restaurant, true to its name as we were on a barge moored on the canal. Groups of Danes were settling in to lunch on pickled herring on rye bread, washed down by aquavit and draughts of beer.
