Amalienborg Palace is also known for its Royal Guard, called Den Kongelige Livgarde. Every day you can experience the changing of the guards, as they march from their barracks in Gothersgade 100 by Rosenborg Castle through the streets of Copenhagen and end up at Amalienborg, where the changing of the guard takes place at 12:00 noon. The route varies. There are three types of watches: King's watch, lieutenant watch and palace watch.A king's watch is when Her Majesty the Queen takes up residence in Christian IX's Palace. This watch is the largest one and the only one with the Danish flag present. A king's watch is under the command of a major or a captain, and the guards leave from The Royal Guard barracks in Gothersgade 100 at 11:27.A palace watch is when no members of the royal family is in the palace, and it is the smallest one. A palace watch is under the command of a sergeant, and the guards leave from The Royal Guard barracks in Gothersgade 100 at 11:32.
