The four identical rococo palaces face each other across the octagonal Amalienborg Slot, where the changing of the guard takes place each day at noon when the family is in residence. A museum, featuring some of the private chambers and royal treasures dating from 1863-1947, is open to the public. Opening Times: Daily 1000-1600 (May-Oct); Tues-Sun 1100-1600 (Nov-Apr). Admission Fees: Yes. Disabled Access: No Unesco: No Address: Amalienborg, Copenhagen, Denmark Christiania Free Commune On the eastern edge of Christianshavn, situated on the derelict site of a former military barracks, Christiania, the 'Free City of Copenhagen', is a working experiment in alternative lifestyles and communal living. First occupied in 1970, it is now home to about 1,000 people and several hundred dogs. Once away from the clothes stalls and eco-cafés, the area is seductively rural, with picturesque farmhouses and wooden cabins overlooking the calm waterways of the Stadsgraven. Afternoon tours guided by a resident of the commune take approximately 90 minutes, but are not free. Opening Times: Daily 24 hours. Admission Fees: No. Disabled Access: No Unesco: No Address: Bådsmandsstræde 43, Copenhagen, Denmark Den Lille Havfrue (The Little Mermaid) Nyhavn (New Harbour) is an inlet off the Inderhavnen. Brothels and bars for visiting sailors once dominated this seedy area, but now the multicoloured, 17th-century gabled buildings accommodate bustling restaurants and pavement cafés serving traditional Danish food beside a pedestrian thoroughfare and the masts of traditional yachts. Children's writer Hans Christian Andersen lived at three different houses here. It is a very pleasant walk from Nyhavn along the waterfront via Amalienborg Castle to the spot in the northeast of the city where Den Lille Havfrue (The Little Mermaid) stares wistfully out to sea. Erected in 1913, the statue commemorates the Hans Christian Andersen heroine and has become a global symbol of Copenhagen. Opening Times: Daily 24 hours.
