Maybe the best planes museum you will ever be to. Enjoy. You are going to see the most popular USSR passenger planes: IL-86, IL-62, TU-134, the famous first soviet jet TU-104 and many others. All comes in original "Aeroflot" paintings. Some of them are open to enter (for free), check the website. Though have to note, museum is visibly lacking funds for maintenance. Looks like it was left in eighties to this day. Bit it is an advantage for you in some way, you can feel it "untouched".

Open air aviation museum with good collection of aircrafts and helicopters. In some of them it is possible to get inside. Price of ticket for grown-ups 100UAH, children 65UAH. Highly recommended for a visit.

Heaven for any Aviation Gig. Bring 1,5-2hours time. Lots of exhibits and view on operati g runway next door. Some planes you can visit from the inside. Advice for owner: Install wifi for guests,so they can make free posts and Advertisement fot you,so visitor numbers are going up also from foreigners...i had a bit of hard time going back to City Center with Uber (4Ubers cancelled/too outside and too much traffic & plus bad cellphone reception) But nevertheless gorgeous museum Definetly worth visiting and supporting it! Thank you. Service staff friendly (very little English though)

Exciting exposition, vast variety of aircrafts, engines models, missiles and bombs, mostly open-air, so good for Covid times. Descriptions are kind of poor but Wikipedia helps.

Coolest place ever! Awesome! Literally could spend hours here. Great place for photoshoots too. Never seen so many planes in one place and you can climb inside of many of them

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
