See sculptures created by sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, whose work can be found across Europe. Long corridors allow for natural light and echo the creative ambiance. The Museum opened on September 18, 1848. It is Denmark’s oldest and also most extraordinary museum building. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Amalienborg offers two royal experiences that let you get close to royal history through the last 250 years. In Christian VIII’s Palace the museum offers an insight into royal life past and present. You can see the private chambers of former kings and queens and, on most days, there is also admittance to the royal reception rooms (check periods at our website) from the museum. In Christian VII’s Palace you can walk in the footsteps of the royal guests, and be shown round the magnificent rooms where grand festivities are held. You can book a guided tour of Christian VII’s Palace in the ticket office of Christian VIII’s Palace or on our website. Remember that every day at noon you can watch the changing of the The Royal Danish Life Guards.

Beautiful interior, obviously only allowed in a small area due to it still being used as a royal residence. Recommend going during changing of the guard ceremony, which was interesting (and free) to watch.

We arrived in Copenhagen on 14/3/20 for a short city break to learn that the whole city was in lock down due to the Corona Virus. Great timing eh. As a result ,All public buildings were closed to the public, so we did not expect to gain entry and we were not disappointed. The highlight of our visit was photographing the exterior and more importantly the famous spire, made up by 4 intertwined dragon tails. In my opinion its the best spire in town.

Copenhagen Cathedral, Vor Frue Kirke, is situated on Frue Plads, next to the main building of the University of Copenhagen. It was designed by Christian Frederik Hansen in the Neoclassical style and was completed in 1829. It replaces previous churches on the site dating back to the late 12th century. The last cathedral on this site fell victim to the bombardment of Copenhagen by the British Royal Navy in September, 1807. It is therefore not the oldest of Danish churches, but is in my opinion, certainly the most elegant and grand! It was designated one of Denmark's National Cathedrals in 1924. The church building measures 83 metres in length, is 33 metres in width and can seat more than 1100 parishioners. The bell tower is 60 metres in height and houses the four church bells. Stormklokken (1828), at four tons, is the largest bell in Denmark and the tower's smallest bell, is the countries oldest, dating from 1490. The other two bells date from 1699 and 1876. The interior is decorated with sculptures by the famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. These include the twelve Apostles, one in front of each of the nave's piers, and in a niche in front of the altar, the Risen Christ. The baptismal font at the front, in the form of an angel holding a large scallop shell, was Bertel's gift to the Cathedral. This is an inspiring church to be in. I would recommend that you schedule your visit to be on a Sunday so you that can attend a church service here. Regardless, do be sure to visit!

This is the central square of Copenhagen, where the Copenhagen City Hall is located, and with several historic buildings nearby. A large square, with very beautiful and typical architecture of the city, worth a visit for photos and to admire the architecture of the place, besides knowing the place where part of the political power of the city works. Close to Tivoli and other must-see places of the city, especially the Latin Quarter.
