Your guide will reveal the history and secrets of the buildings while you admire views from the elegant square, including the equestrian statue of King Frederick V, Frederik's Church to the west, and the Copenhagen Opera House to the east.

Amalienborg was originally built in the 18th century for Danish nobility, but after a fire destroyed Christiansborg Palace in 1794, the monarchs bought the complex and made it their official home.
