Amalienborg, Copenhagen

It's a beautiful palace surrounded by 4 buildings of palace. Change of guard is the main attraction here which happens at 12 pm or during the last royal person leaves the palace and it's empty. Palace has the kings statue in the middle and a church facing the palace with a large amazing dome.

Right in the the city near Copenhagen Admiral Hotel. We were lucky when we reached at around noon time on Wednesday where there was a simple Changing of Guard Parade at the middle of Square. The Palace was unique in that it is completely opened where everyone can just walk through with no wall separating the palace from the visitors.. even cars drive right through the square. While visiting this square, please also walk along the nearby water front for about 10mins to the famous Mermaid statue, from Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, The Little Mermaid.

Cool square. Watched royal guards walking there. They "pssed" each other when there was a time to make a turn and go back. A good view on cathedral from here. Also nice monument in the middle of the square. Wonderful buildings which look the same for the first time.

Nice for taking photos, especially from the water in direction of Frederics Church. Also the guards are a good motive. We went here when the weather was good so the place was crowded. Best in the the morning I guess.

One of the most beautiful attractions in Copenhagen. Take your time have a walk and click some nice shots as the sun goes down with a nice view of the Dome foe a background. Everything is in walking distance and dont miss the change of the royal guard every day at 12.00.
