Step into Amalienborg, where the Danish royal family still lives around a grand octagonal square. Tour the museum's royal interiors and treasury, then watch the guards in front of the palaces.

📖

Full description

Amalienborg is the Danish royal family's winter residence, four near-identical rococo palaces facing an octagonal courtyard with an equestrian statue of the king at its centre. One wing houses a museum with timed tickets, where visitors see lived-in royal interiors and a treasury that reviewers single out as the highlight.

The square itself is free to enter and lines up with Frederik's Church across the way and the harbour beyond. The changing of the guard gives the plaza its ceremonial energy, and the whole visit fits neatly into about an hour and a quarter.

Reviews

Very organized and timed tickets means plenty of room inside to see the exhibits. A fascinating look at how the royalty lived. The treasury was the most interesting part. The tickets go fast, so be sure to buy on line. Use the toilets before you go in. The gift shop has some unique items.
