The area
Address
Neighborhood: Indre By (Inner City)
This is the heart of old town Copenhagen, with its blend of charming old buildings and bold new architecture, broad avenues and tiny streets as well as picturesque canals and a modern harbor. The inner city is home to the Royal Danish Theatre, which consists of three buildings, two of which are new and situated on the harbor front. The streets, squares and venues of the inner city and its surrounding neighborhoods, are alive all year round with everything from jazz festivals to outdoor ice skating rinks and parachuting at the lakes right in the center of the city. This compact area boasts beautiful old castles, tranquil parks, and bustling squares where you can always find a bench to stretch out your legs whenever you need a break.

I visited this place mainly because it was free for Copenhagen Card owners.If it wouldn't, I'd probably thinked twice.It's interesting but not out of common.After all, how impressive could be a kitchen, even a royal one ?!There are a lot of different kind of cooking pots, most of them made by copper.Also you can watch a short film of royal dinner cooking process.

While its a short trip through the royal kitchen, if you have the Copenhagen card (which I highly recommend getting as tourist) its free and fun look at what it looked like preparing meals for 250 guests of the royal family. I enjoyed the visit and recommend it to anyone who visits the palace since its on the same grounds and just around the corner from the reception rooms. The rows and rows of pots and pans are a sight to see. If you're not interested in food, cooking, or royal events it might not be for you, but I enjoyed the glimpse into this world.

Boasting one of Europe's largest collections of copper ware, it is well worth pausing here for a spell to marvel at the scale of preparation of Royal banquets.
Restored to its state in 1937 as it prepared a banquet to mark the silver jubilee of Christian X, it’s a great window onto the lives of the Royals.
In addition to the great shiny copper pots and pans, a marvellous black stove with multitudes of ovens is to be seen.

No longer use as a royal kitchen, but very nicely presented to show what kind of things would have been used, stored and cooked in there. A good video inside on how royal banquets are prepared in the modern age.

No labour saving devices in here. Loads of old pots and pans, mostly copper, knife polisher, ovens and hobs. A short video gives an insight into how things were done.
Worth a look as part of the combination ticket

Think you probably need to be into your cooking to really appreciate this place but we loved it. One of the attractions on our Copenhagen Card which makes for good value. Lots of pots, pans, utensils on show but also an insight into the royal kitchen. Worth spending 30 minutes to check out

I found the Royal kitchen fascinating with the various cook stations clearly identified and interesting information (in English) labelled throughout. It is furnished and equipped as it was in King Christian X's time and one can follow the preparations for a gala dinner marking the king's 25th Jubilee in 1937. In addition, there is a video in the Flower Room detailing the preparation of a current day royal dinner.

We called in to take a look at the Royal Kitchens after touring some of the rooms within the palace. Admission was gained using our Copenhagen Cards. If we had to pay to gain admission, we would have more than likely given them a miss.
At the time of our visit, there were only a few other people there. We viewed part of the video explaining the history of the kitchens and the manner in which meals are prepared and served for Royal banquets.
There were impressive displays of polished copper pots and pans as well as numerous other kitchen implements. It was also interested to see the large older style ovens which had once be used to cook foods for Royal banquets and meals.
Whilst we certainly would not classify the Royal Kitchens as a must see attraction, they are worth a brief visit especially if you have Copenhagen Cards to gain admission.

This basically a room with a lot of cooking pans.
Ok for a flying visit if you have a joint ticket or Copenhagen card
But I would not pay the admission price just to go in there.
