Copenhagen is heaven on earth for architecture lovers and it will leave you in awe no matter which style of architecture is your favorite. If you have a soft spot for classical architecture, its castles and palaces will knock you off your feet, especially these three.

Rosenborg Castle

One of Copenhagen’s most popular tourist attractions, this renaissance castle has been around for over four centuries. It was originally built as a country summerhouse, but it now houses beautifully landscaped gardens and a museum with crown jewels and guided tours.

Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace is one of Copenhagen’s most important buildings since it serves as the seat of the Danish Parliament. Several parts of the parliament are also used by the Danish monarch to this day. Some of the parts of the palace can be visited by the public, most notably the royal reception rooms and the palace chapel.

Amalienborg

Christiansborg may be home to some royal rooms, but Amalienborg actually serves as the home of the Danish royal family. This rococo complex of palaces consists of four identical classical palaces, and the royal museum and marches by royal guards are two of its most popular tourist attractions.
