The changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace takes place daily at 12.00. A queen lives in Amalienborg; when Her Majesty is at home, a flag flies over the palace. The palace is located in the city center, about 10 minutes walk from Kongens Nytrow. The royal guards wear big funny bear hats. According to tradition, hats should be natural. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of fashion, the black bears that once lived in Europe were completely exterminated, and the Danes specifically buy black bear fur from Canadians in order to preserve the tradition.→
