Home of Queen Margrethe II, Amalienborg Slot is the principal residence of Her Majesty and the royal family of Denmark. Most of the palace is not open to the public, but there is a very interesting museum in one wing of the palace that has restored several public rooms of previous Danish monarchs for the public's viewing. We also timed our visit so that we could see a bit of the pomp of the changing of the guard. Not like the Brits, but still interesting.

The Marble Church, Marmokirken, also known as Frederikskirken, is just a block west of Amalienborg Palace. Recently renovated, (and scrubbed free of soot), it is an impressive sight…inside and out. Interesting footnote: The church's dome was inspired by the dome at St. Peter's Church in Vatican City.
