The courtyards of the castle are free to visit. They offer a quieter green space and views of the castle walls in the busy city. There is also a mulberry arch in the first courtyard - brilliant idea to create shade in the summertime and a gardener's delight. The arches themselves are pretty in form. The ladders to prune the mulberries and to twine the branches around the structure are likely very high!

Very cool place to walk around. We didn’t go in any of the museums because we didn’t have too long but you could easily spend a whole day here! Otherwise it is free to walk around. On Saturdays there is a huge market on the outskirts of the castle with bags, food, mulled wine, lots of trinkets, cooking items etc! Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful architecture, looks stunning in the nighttime when lit up. Was filled with lots of historical artifacts and artwork, it’s a very well kept and the castle is in very good condition. Very historic with lots to see and do. It has a very nice museum. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re visiting Milan.

Very big and beautiful. Definitely one of the must see. Worth the money and time. Very big territory to walk around. Didn’t get a chance to visit museum as it was closed the day we came, it was Monday. Absolutely would love to see it inside, unfortunately it is completely closed for public. But still impressive and beautiful castle.

Amazing open fortress very close to the city centre. Pretty much within walking distance from other landmarks as well as main train station. During my visit outdoor parts were open and just indoor sections required tickets. Couldn't go as time pressed yet definitely gorgeous place and would love to see more of it!

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.
