The palace is very close to Kongens Nytorv, within walking distance. The palace has four large halls arranged around the square; here, you can get a close look at the Danish royal family. You might see princes and princesses driving in and out, and you might even see the queen! Of course, don't miss the chance to take a photo with the Royal Guard, but don't expect them to smile at you.
Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg Castle – Home of the Danish Crown Jewels, it is awe-inspiring and a must-see. Rosenborg Castle is built in the city's busiest park – the King's Garden (Kongens Have), and it is the best example of vintage architecture in the heart of the city. It is an ideal place for a picnic on a sunny day.
Opposite the Amalienborg Palace is the magnificent Marble Church (Marmor Kirke), which is the largest domed church in Scandinavia. Other royal attractions in the city include the Royal Reception Rooms at Christiansborg Palace (now the Danish Parliament) and the Copenhagen Cathedral (also known as the Church of Our Lady). The Copenhagen Cathedral has hosted many royal events, including the wedding of the Crown Prince Couple, HRH Prince Frederik of Denmark and HRH Princess Mary.
Hamlet's Home
World Heritage Site: Roskilde Cathedral - the burial site of the Danish Royal Family, and Kronborg Castle in the city of Helsingør - the fictional home of Hamlet. Both sites are not far from Copenhagen and are suitable for short trips.
