Frederiksstaden

Northeast of Kongens Nytorv is the posh thoroughfare of Bredgade, which intersects Frederiksstaden, a royal quarter commissioned by Frederik V in the mid-1700s. It’s home to the castle of Amalienborg. Time your visit with the noon changing of the guard. The old sailors' neighborhood of Nyboder is west of the fortification of Kastellet.
