Many thanks to our Local Ambassador Tobias Fuchs for taking the photos and  for the nice text.:On the 3rd of March 2009 InterNations Copenhagen community member Babette Hirth managed to organise a rare treat for 25 of our community’s members: a visit to the Amalienborg Royal Palace guest- and representation-palais of her majesty the Queen Margarethe II. also known as Christian VII.- or Moltke palais. The palace has recently been restored to its original 18th century glory and original setting by her majesty the Queen. The Queen Margarethe II. herself has actively participated and seen to its restoration and there is hardly a room, where her majesty Margarete II. personal touch and beautiful art is not represented – from curtains to furniture and carpets she has designed herself. Visiting presidents and statesmen, members of the royalty and guests such as Nelson Mandela have all stayed at Moltke palais. Pictures are not allowed on the inside, but even a look through the windows of the entrance hall will give you a stunning impression of this rococo palace’ glory.

Later that evening some 30 more InterNations members from all over the world met at Toldbod Bodega – close to Amalienborg palace for after work drinks. There we enjoyed a warm welcome at this historic Bodega, which by the way is one of the oldest bars in Copenhagen with a very traditional Danish and homey touch.
