Brahe is a big deal here, and we enjoyed the science museum that bears his name.  We also hit the National Museum of Denmark, which boasts a wide range of impressive artifacts from time periods across history, whether it was coins from the Bronze Age, medieval weapons, gold-plated clocks owned by kings, propaganda posters from the occupation, or memorabilia from when the Beatles visited in 1964.  It was a lot of fun, and one of the highlights of the trip.<\/p>\n<p>We also took in some of the sites that Copenhagen has to offer from Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park, to Nyhavn, a harbor-front row of coffee shops and restaurants where you can dine among the boats, musicians, and fellow tourists.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" height= 337 src=\"http:\/\/www.shakespeareteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/nyhavn.jpg\" width=450\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe the trip will be ending soon.
