A fun view of the changing of the guards outside and a somewhat limited interior tour. Inside the rooms, everything was well-signed and more similar to what you would call a royal palace. The decor is from the Victorian Period with many interesting articles and photos. We used the Copenhagen Card for entrance.

This was a different sort of castle tour where you get to see several rooms decorated as they were for different royals in the past (and even see the original pictures). They had a good deal of info on placards in Danish and English so you can get the most out of the museum. Worth a stop, especially if you... More

This is a MUST see in Copenhagen. First off, make sure to time your visit with a changing of the guards ceremony. Like most it can be kind of boring but its short and it is rather royal. Once in the palace you can gaze upon treasures of art and such. What we liked so much was the views into... More

I walked to the square which is surrounded by four palaces for the members of the Danish Royal family. It is much less formal than most palaces in the world. There are no gardens or fences and apart from the guards not letting you too close, you feel as if you are in an internal courtyard. If you go at... More

Enjoyed seeing where the Royal Family lived. Only saw the public rooms. Later went back for the changing of the guard. Not anything like in England. Much less pomp and circumstance.

Beautiful area to wander around in the square and see the wonderful architecture, and we just missed the Queen who was being chauffeured in to her Palace by car. Museum interiors beautifully maintained, and very interesting seeing the history of the worlds oldest monarchy. very close walking to both the Marble Church and the Little Mermaid too

This castle is close to the metro and at noon an impressive changing of the guards is well worth watching.The water front is nearby and the restaurants serve excellent sea food.

We were fortunate to get here in time for the changing of the guard which in itself was very interesting. Even the Crown Prince apparently was chauffered into the royal residence, according to a couple of photographers waiting but whether this was true or not I don't know. Surprisingly quiet we got excellent views of the soldiers marching. The Amaliehaven... More

Werry expensive tickets for Amalienborg Museum. Museum is verry small, nothing special for me. Tickets for Vatikan Museum in Rome, or tickets for Schonbrunn Castle in Wiena are cheeper then that, but display is uncoparable.

Plan you day to be passing the Amalienborg Palace as the guard is changed. ( some guide books say 11.30am but we found it was 12 noon.) The ceremony does not last long but it is interesting and you get a good view from the centre of the square. There was no band as apparently the Royal family were away.... More
