This magnificent palace is the royal residence of the Danish royal family and the Queen's home. The daily changing of the Royal Guard at noon makes one feel as if 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' is still being performed here. In 1825, Hans Christian Andersen spent his Christmas holiday at Amalienborg Palace, staying in one of the four palaces, which was then used as a naval academy.
