🇩🇰 Danish Travel | Amalienborg Palace

Amalienborg Palace, located in the heart of Copenhagen, is the current residence of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark 👸🏼. Built in the 18th century, this Rococo-style castle consists of four identical buildings. In the center of the square stands a statue of King Frederick V 🤴🏼 dressed in Roman imperial attire. Normally, you can witness the changing of the Danish Royal Guard 💂🏻‍♂️ at noon every day in this square. The entire ceremony takes about 30 minutes, with guards changing at all posts around the palace, so the same procedure is repeated several times. If you’re in a hurry, watching one round is okay. I noticed that the soldiers distinguish their units by the differently colored tassels on their swords. The leaders of the two teams walk at the front of the procession, checking the posts for any irregularities before the change, and then the soldiers switch. We saw the white team replacing the red team that day~ Inside the castle, the exhibits mainly showcase the queen’s work, living, and reception arrangements, which are quite lively. Since the queen resides here frequently, the accessible areas for visitors are limited, and some sections may be temporarily closed due to the royal family’s use. Other galleries are open to the public during specific hours each week. ⏰ Opening Hours: 1/22-10/23 Daily 10:00-17:00 10/24-12/30 Tue-Sun 11:00-16:00 Closed: 11/7-8, 12/24-25, 12/31, 1/1 🎫 Ticket Prices: Adult: DKK.125, Under 18: Free, Student: DKK.80 🎫 Combined Ticket for Rosenborg Castle + Amalienborg Palace: Adult: DKK.200, Student: DKK.150 TIPS - 🔸 If you see flags raised in the square, it means the Queen of Denmark is residing inside! 🔸 Arrive at the castle square before noon to get a good spot to watch the changing of the Danish Royal Guard. There will be police maintaining order, and you can only observe from behind the black line, but you can take photos and videos. 🔸 I bought the combined ticket for Rosenborg Castle and Amalienborg Palace at Rosenborg Castle. I didn’t see any related information at Amalienborg Palace. To be safe, you can visit Rosenborg Castle in the morning, watch the changing ceremony at Amalienborg Palace at noon, and then visit Amalienborg Palace and the adjacent Frederik’s Church in the afternoon, followed by a walk by the harbor in the evening~ #EuropeanTravelGuide #CulturalSights #Denmark #DanishTravel #EuropeanCastles #Castle #EuropeanPalace
