Overview
Built in the 1750s in Rococo style, this four-palace complex became the Danish royal family's official residence after the 1794 Christiansborg fire. An equestrian statue of Frederik V stands at the center of the octagonal courtyard, framed by the four palaces. The Royal Museum displays royal costumes, furniture, and artifacts, and the daily noon changing of the Royal Life Guard (Den Kongelige Livgarde) in red uniforms and bearskin hats is a highlight. Museum admission about DKK 125 (courtyard free). 7-minute walk from Metro M3 Marmorkirken station.
Travel Tips
Arrive by 11:45 for the noon changing of the guard. A flag flying signals the royal family is in residence.
