On the Free Walking Tour of Copenhagen we visited many castles and royal residences. Denmark has a Royal Family and they reside mostly in Copenhagen. The current queen is Queen Margrethe II.
The Danish monarchy is constitutional which means the monarchy cannot independently perform political acts. Denmark is a democracy and while the Queen signs all acts, they only come into force when countersigned by a cabinet minister. It is actually quite similar to our Dáil and president.
For a tourist, the changing of the guard at Copenhagen Castle is a must see.
