Day 3 of Copenhagen tour was going to be very busy for me. I am getting more familiar with the transportation systems and location of attractions. I took the Metro to a certain stop and then took the boat bus to the area near to Amalienborg Palace . Amalienborg is the home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classical palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Danish: Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V. The four palaces where built by four noble families in the middle of the 18th century on direct orders by the king Frederik V. Two of the four Amalienborg rococo palaces are open to visitors. The Amalienborg Palace Museum (Amalienborgmuseet) is in the Christian VIII palace and comprises mostly the studies of the kings of the past century and a half, as well as some of the original neoclassical representation rooms of Amalienborg. Amalienborg Palace is a must for anyone with a taste for royal history and the life of Denmark's royal family who still resides inside the palace. Experience royal history at the museum and sense the presence of one of the world's oldest monarchies from the beautiful palace square where you can watch the changing of the guards.
My card allowed me to have a tour and the richness of the royal palace was evident in all the beautiful rooms and furniture.
These 3 little tourists were dressed like princesses.
