Royal palace in Copenhagen. It's a very well organized experience, from the royal halls down to the basements showing old Copenhagen Castles history. We really enjoyed the self-guided tour thru the App that allows to follow step by step all the major attractions, with clear and detailed explanations.

Visited here on our two week tour of Denmark with family and a friend. Although I have been here on numerous occasions, I still love it. If I had to pick only one castle in Denmark to visit, this would be it. I especially enjoy the kitchen where a meal is being prepared and the ruins where you wander around the old foundations.

We chose to visit Christiansborg among the other Palaces in Cph. I think it was a good choice as it has so many different things to see, that will actually offer you a glimpse in the city's history through the evolution of the once fortress - later Palace. This is the building that the Danish Parliament, the Queens office and the Prime Minister's Office are housed. We visited most of the attractions, except from the Royal Kitchen. It was very interesting - especially the tapestries in The Great Hall. They actually "describe" 1,100 years of Danish history from the Viking Age to the year 2000 . A wonderful attraction for the kids is a visit to the ruins under Christiansborg Palace, where one can see the remains of the curtain wall from Bishop Absalon’s 12th century castle, as well as the foundations of the Blue Tower, where the King's daughter was incarcerated for 22 years. There, you can find some kind of mystery solving attraction as you run up to curiosity boxes providing clues for Leonora and her story - a fun activity for the kids!

Exploring the old palace itself was great. the service gets a one star, if that. I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough time to see the jewels so wanted to start there. It’s a separate entrance from the castle. I was told I couldn’t do that and when asked why wasn’t given an answer. When finished with the tour went into the gift shop and I asked what flavor the Christmas tea was, was told it was on the label. As I don’t read Danish and the fact that they had a price tag over it didn’t help, the person in front of me asked where she could get postcards stamps and was told “at a kiosk” when asked where she would find one was told “around” a little helpfulness would go a long way.

We visited on our last day in Copenhagen as it was shut on a Monday. Great rainy day option in the winter months Found service friendly and guiding, same great interesting features throughout with lots of information in both Danish and English. The ruins were our favourite - the stables were a little disappointing as couldn’t get close enough to the horses. But such an interesting way to spend the morning (took about 3 hours to cover it all)

This is a very imposing and impressive building. As a fan of “Borgen”, I loved spotting many places I recognised from the TV show. There are several attractions here, but we visited the royal reception rooms, the kitchens and the ruins - entry to all was included with the Copenhagen Card. If you’re in a rush, prioritise the reception rooms, as they were stunning.

Interesting couple of hours. Started in the reception rooms, used the phone app commentary which provided a history of the royal family and a descriptor each room, it did get boring after a while but was good for the overview. The rooms are nice but not stunning. We then visited the kitchen - no more than 15- 30 mins to visit but ok nonetheless. The ruins were ok with the app commentary, without it there were information boards for the history. The stables and carriages were last. We couldn’t get close enough to pat a horse but did get to see several of them in their stables.

We visited used the Copenhagen card, there are two types we got the one with transport. The reception rooms take about 2 to 3 hours. Like most of the museums there are lockers for big bulky coats upon need. Toilets, again another feature we noticed in Copenhagen are first class. We were getting a bit museums out. There are separate buildings as well as stables, if you into horses could be a places for you, but few stuffed one if you are sensitive be aware. There lot of art and skilled decorations in the buildings. Well worth a visit

We visited the slot on a cold December afternoon. Without crowds it is a bit difficult to find the entrance as it is not clearly marked. Visited the palace, kitchen and ruins. Missed the stables as they close early. I would place this lower on the list below the Art Museum and National Museum.

My personal favourite attraction in Copenhagen. We visited on a snowy Thursday. It was quiet-ish (still plenty of tourists for a January day) and it was fantastic. Rich with history and the ruins are such a great addition. The staff were friendly and the lockers where you store your bags are perfectly safe. Our one criticism is signage. Like a lot of the other attractions in Copenhagen, signs seems to be a weak point. We didn't know where to go to start or whether there was a "starting point", so we just followed some others.
