At Amalienborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen, you can visit the seat of one of the world's oldest monarchies and go behind the scenes in a real royal palace. The palace is a must for anyone with a taste for royal history. Don't miss the palace square where you can watch the unforgettable changing of the guards.
Amalienborg is famous for its royal guard, known as The Royal Life Guard. Every day you can watch the changing of the guards as they march from their barracks by Rosenborg Castle through the streets of Copenhagen to Amalienborg, often accompanied by music. The changing of the guard takes place at noon

Kastellet (the citadel) is one of Northern Europes most well preserved fortresses and is easily recognised by its star-like shape. It is a beautiful area, and quite a sight. There is multiple statues, historical buildings, a beautiful church and fountain right by it. If you happen to visit during springtime make sure you checkout the cherry blossoms!

Perfect for guests of all ages and families!
Tivoli is an internationally renowned amusement park located in the center of Copenhagen and is by far the most visited tourist attraction in Denmark.
This amusement park not only offers a great selection of rollercoasters and carousels but also a beautiful park that is worth visiting even if you're not a fan of wild rides.
Tivoli attracts about 4 million visitors per year and is divided into three seasons: the summer season, Halloween in Tivoli, and Christmas in Tivoli.
During the summer season, they host an event called "Fredagsrock," which features a lineup of some of the greatest artists performing on their concert stage.

The kings garden is the perfect place to take a stroll, or chill out during a warm summer day. Bring a blanket and a beer and join the “hygge” amongst the Danes.

The Lakes, also known as Søerne, are one of the most distinctive features of the city’s topography. This area is only one block away from your stay, and I can really recommend you taking a stroll or morning run on one of the paths around them. If the weather is good, you can rent a swan paddle boat and paddle around the lake. This place has a really nice scenery, especially at night when the neon lights from the buildings reflects onto the lakes!

Two food halls that serve fresh and local products, from vegetables to fish to cheese and so on. Not only can you buy fresh products here, but you can also buy some food from one of the stands. Located right next to a park, so I would recommend getting something to go and sit there.
