Loved the view from the tower. We got lucky to have absolutely no queque but usually there is some waiting time. Recommend on a nice and sunny day.

Such a wonderful experience. Impressive palace, amazingly organized and super clean. All the rooms have something special. It’s like a museum of art, with paintings and sculptures and spectacular ancient furniture. The great hall is stunning with all the colorful pieces visualizing the history of Denmark. The queen’s library is beautiful. The part of the kitchen is super cute. There’s a smell of cake baking in there! The part of the ruins is interesting, especially the story of Leonora Christina. The royal stables are nice too. The staff is super friendly. Highly recommend.

This castle is a must-see when in Copenhagen. It is split into 4 paid parts, as well as the Tower. The Ruins under Christiansborg Palace is a ~20-30 minute long exhibition of the ruins found during the rebuilding of the castle in the early 20th century. They are quite interesting to learn about, and definitely worth a visit if you’re into that kind of stuff. The Royal Reception Rooms were by far my personal favorite. To enter, you need plastic under your shoes to protect the floors there. It consists of many beautiful rooms in the palace, with paintings, tapestries, and beautiful design. The Royal Kitchen is the smallest of the four (significantly smaller) and is just some pots and pans and some other minor things. You can get through this in under 10 minutes depending on how much you decide to read. My personal least favorite and worth a skip if you don’t have much time to spare. The Royal Stables I’m sure would be nice, we’re the horses not out for the summer. Without them, it is a room with exhibits on mainly saddles and a large room with many beautiful carriages. The Tower is free of charge. Be patient as there will be a long wait because of the singular elevator and security check, even without a queue. The view of the city is great, in my opinion better than the Round Tower’s view. (*My favorite part of the round tower was the history on the way up, not the view itself.) Access to all of these is free with the Copenhagen Card, so I recommend getting it if you’re coming here.
