Rarely and by chance — but the guard change happens before the palace when he is there (at noon), and the family sometimes appears at Aarhus's public summer occasions. What matters more for the visitor: residence means the garden is shut, so if the stroll is your goal, come when the flag is down — the deer and forest are open either way.

Marselisborg is the Danish royal family's summer seat: a modestly sized white palace (1902) the Danish people gifted by public subscription to Prince Christian X as a wedding present — King Frederik X still spends summer weeks and Christmas there, and his Royal Guard changes at it as in Copenhagen. The golden rule for visiting: the gardens (twelve hectares of roses, fountains, sculptures and the queen's personal garden) open to the public free whenever the family is not in residence — that is most of the year outside summer weeks and holidays. The flag above the palace means residence, and closure. The palace itself is never entered — but the garden, the surrounding forest and the neighbouring Deer Park with its free-roaming deer that feed from the hand make it a complete family outing, and the coastal path from it reaches the Infinite Bridge in a half-hour walk.
Personal roses and sculptures opened to the public.
Free-roaming, hand-feeding — always free.
