Amalienborg Palace: Amaliehavn-The most beautiful garden in Copenhagen

    After lunch at Nyhavn, it seemed only appropriate to pop into the harbour area of Amaliehavn. We walked around and saw young Danish families having picnics on the lovely grounds. Just as we reached the fountain, we realised that if we stood at the right spot by the fountain, we'd be able to see Frederikskirke (Fredriks Church) and Amalienborg, the home of the Danish King and Queen and Crown Princess Mary!

    Do note that there is no public access to the residence of Queen Margrethe II and the immensely popular Australian Crown Princess Mary! But you can still tour the Amalienborg Museum, housed in a part of the complex. The museum is dedicated to the more recent history of the royal Danish house, the oldest unbroken monarchy in the world. If you're there at noon however, you can catch the changing of the guards.

  • The square of Amalienborg Palace - Copenhagen
    The square of Amalienborg
    Palace

    Amalienborg Palace is the royal couple's winter residence. It is the most outstanding piece of Rococo architecture in Denmark.

    Tourists can visit two of Amalienborg's palaces (mansions): Christian VIII's Palace, which has been partly turned into a museum of the Glücksburg dynasty; and Christian VII's Palace, which is used by the Queen to receive and entertain guests, but which is occasionally open for guided tours or special exhibitions.

    Very often you can see changing of the guard here. And don't try to sit somewhere in that square - you'll be warned about it by the guard immediatelly.

    Amalienborg Palace: Palace at dusk
  • Tip Rating:
  • After our VT dinner, we visited the Amelienborg Palace - home to the Danish Royal Family. This has been the Royal Palace since 1794, originally for King Frederik V. There are four wings, two as residences and two are official state buildings.

    The guards are here in two-hourly shifts and march up and down constantly. Occasionally, just to remind us that they are real, they shout at passing cars who dare to slow down for a better view - this is forbidden in the Palace grounds - woe betide any that stop completely!! it made me jump anyway and I was on foot!

    Amalienborg Palace: Amelienborg Slotsplads
  • Tip Rating:
  • After our VT meeting dinner we went for a stroll to the Royal palace and to the Amelienborg Slotsplads and along Amelienhaven. The fountain is directly in front of the Opera House which is on the opposite side of Inderhavnen. As it started raining we decided to visit the very new and very trendy (and expensive!) Salt Bar for a drink before making our way back to the city centre.

    Amalienborg Palace: Amalienborg Royal Castle
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is where the royal family lives when they are not in one of their summer residencies. The castle is made up of four separate palais, built in around 1750. You can't enter the buildings, but it's worth a short stop anyway to see the castle and the changing of the guards at noon. The royal guards put on quite a show, but it doesn't last that long, so be there on time...

    Amalienborg Palace: Queen's residence
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is where the queen lives sometime of the year and it's quite close to the centre of Copenhagen. The courtyard is quite open and breath taking. There is a changing of the guard here as well but it's not the most exciting thing to watch. The marble church is right beside the square as well.

    Amalienborg Palace: Amalienborg Slots, and Amalienborg Slotspad

    Amalienborg Slotspad is the square in the center of the Queen's palace/residence, which is Amalienborg Slots. The palace is comprised of four nearly identical buildings. The Queen lives in only one of them, called Schack Palace, and when she's present there's a Danish flag flying. The buildingd were originally built as the homes for four wealthy traders, but the royal family moved in folliwng a fire which left them otherwise homeless, in 1794.

    The square gives a feeling of open-ness and approachability. It's all cobblestone, so watch your step!

    Nearby is the grand church of Frederikskirken.

    Amalienborg Palace: The Amalienborg Palace
  • Tip Rating:
  • The museum in the Amalienborg Palace was opened in 1994, as a replacement of the exhibitions in the Rosenborg Castle. At the first floor of this lovely building you´ll find a couple of rooms with beautiful antique furnishment of the Glücksburg dynasty.

    For the public only Christian IX's studyingroom, Queen Louise's livingroom, Frederik VIII's studyingroom, Christian X's studyingroom and Christian X's diningroom are opened. All the furnishment is taken from other houses and were taken to here with the best care possible. Each element is situated at the same place that the furnishment of the royal family used to take in. You can also take a look inside the closet of the king and see all the royal clothes.

    The museum is opened daily from 10:00 - 16:00, but is closed in Christmas Time.

    Entrance fee is 40 DK for adults and 10 DK for children

    Amalienborg Palace: Slot Amalienborg
  • Tip Rating:
  • Slot Amalienborg is actually 4 buildings. They are 4 royal palaces, where the royal family still lives. Each building is exactly like the other one, and they lie at the edge of a big roundabout-like square. When the flag is up, it means the queen is inside. You can see the changing of the guards there everyday at noon.

    You can also visit the museum of the palace, which opened in 1994. It is opened daily from 10 to 4. A ticket costs 40 Kroner for adults.
