palace by bpacker
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.

Amalienborg Slot (Amalienborg Palace) is the winter home of the Danish royal family and actually consists of four identical palaces. Amalienborg is the third palace on this area and was originally built for four noble families, but when Christiansborg Castle burnt down in 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in.
The Christian VII’s Palace is also known as Moltke’s Palace, and was erected in 1750-1754. It is the south-western palace and is occasionally open for guided tours or special exhibitions. The Christian VIII’s Palace is also known as Levetzau’s Palace and was built in 1750-1760. It is the north-western palace, and was the home of Crown Prince Frederik until 2004. The Frederik VIII’s Palace is also known as Brockdorff’s Palace and was built in the 1750s. It was the home of Queen Ingrid until her death in 2000. The palace is currently being restored (finish 2009) and will be the home of the Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary. It is the north-eastern palace. The Christian IX’s Palace or Schack’s Palace has been the home of the royal couple since 1967. It was erected in 1750-1757 and is the south-eastern palace (the one with the five chimneys). When the flag is up – it means that the Queen is home.
In the centre of the courtyard there is an equestrian statue of King Frederik V and it is considered one of the most outstanding equestrian statues in the world. The statue was unveiled in 1771 - five years after King Frederik V's death in 1766.
The Christian VIII’s Palace (Levetzau’s Palace) has partly been turned into a museum, and is open for public. However, the museum only contains artefacts from the Kings of the House of Glücksborg (1863-today). If you want to explore an old Danish royal palace go to Rosenborg Palace instead – or Frederiksborg Palace (which is located in Hillerød).

 1. Amalienborg Palace and
Frederik's Church by Nemorino, 2 more photos
1. Amalienborg Palace and Frederik's Church, from Operaen
2. The dome of Frederik's Church, from the fourth balcony level of Operaen
3. The harbor as seen from Operaen
Frederik's Church, also known as the Marble Church, is the big domed building that you see when you look across the harbor from Operaen.
The site for Operaen was carefully chosen so it would be on an axis with Frederik's Church and with Amalienborg Palace, which is the winter residence of the Danish Monarchy. Leave a Comment

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!

 The square of Amalienborg
Palace by ginte
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. Leave a Comment Address: Amalienborg SlotspladsDirections: On the way to the Little Mermaid

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 Leave a Comment Address: Christian VIII's Palæ Amalienborg, CopenhagenDirections: Coming from the Stroget, cross the Kongens Nytorv to the rightside. It is behind the Nyhavn.
