Review:
Amalienborg is a cluster of four palaces built originally for four Danish noble families, but bought by the royal family when their previous home, Christiansborg Palace, burned in 1794. The rococo palaces, which are today the home of the royal family, are built around an octagonal courtyard, with a magnificent statue of King Frederick V in its center.
Near Amalienborg are the Copenhagen Opera House and Frederick’s Church. The changing of the royal palace guards is a spectacle very popular with tourists. It takes place every day at noon, accompanied by music and drums. The guards march from their barracks by Rosenborg Castle, through the streets of Copenhagen, all the way to Amalienborg.
