Copenhagen’s Amalienborg Palace complex is composed of four identical rococo-style palace buildings surrounding a hexagonal square with a statue of King Frederik V (1771) at its center. The four palaces have been home to different generations of the Danish royal family since 1794 and are still used as official royal residences and sumptuously appointed guesthouses for visiting dignitaries. The Christian VIII Palace houses the fascinating Amalienborg Museum, which is filled with exhibits offering an insight into the lives of both the present and past royals. You can tour both Christian VII’s and Christian VIII’s palaces and watch the impressive changing of the guard ceremony, which takes place at noon each day, come rain or shine.
