Amalienborg Palace is the winter residence of the Danish royal family in Copenhagen. It consists of four identical palace exteriors with rococo interiors that create an octagonal courtyard. A majestic equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V, lies in the center of the courtyard, created by French sculptor Jacques-Francos-Josephy Saly.
Amalienborg was originally built as manor houses for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace suffered fire damage in 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various royal families have resided in the four different palaces. Although it is still the residence of the royal couple, you can experience some of the rooms that are not in regular use filled with royal furnishings, tapestries, photographs, portraits, and heirlooms.

A very good way to have a quick view of the city if you have only a few hours to spend. Very nice and knowledgable guide who was also ready to answer all of our questions. I definitely recommend it.

Our tour guide was Mariella and our bus driver was James. We had a fairly large group and although I was travelling alone, I really enjoyed this tour. Mariella was terrific! The weather started off poorly but that didn't dampen our spirits. She was very knowledgeable and had a great way of explaining details in an interesting way. I've taken a few different tours, and Mariella was the best tour guide I've experienced. Copenhagen is a beautiful city with lots of history!

We were only on a 36 hour trip from the UK and felt this tour took in everything we needed to see in Copenhagen in a short space of time. Our guide was informative and the coach was an excellent standard. Well worth the money especially if your on a weekend break and don't have time to take in everything at your own pace.
