The beautiful 400-year-old castle is situated in central Copenhagen's popular park, The King's Garden. The castle was built by one of the most famous Scandinavian kings, Christian IV. Today, the glory of the past can be experienced through the numerous art treasures of the previous kings and queens. Among the main attractions is the Great Hall with the coronation thrones and three life-size silver lions standing guard. The crown jewels and royal regalia sparkle behind the thick walls of the treasury beneath the castle.
This is a beautiful 16 th century palace with wonderful gardens, including a very impressive rose garden, all set in the midst of a pretty park. Your transported back to the time of King Christian 4 as you tour the interiors and then get to view the Royal Crown Jewels in the basement. This is a don’t miss sight in Copenhagen, the best of the palaces within the city proper. Go early,as entrance tickets are timed , at least when I visited in October.

Christiansborg Palace is situated on the little island of Slotsholmen (Castle Island) which is surrounded by canals in the heart of Denmark's capital, Copenhagen. Denmark has one of the oldest monarchies in the world, and the palace has a long, dramatic history which revolves around the exercise of royal power. Today, Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. Under its beautiful copper roof, the palace houses the Danish parliament, the office of the Danish prime minister and the Supreme Court. It is therefore the center for legislative, executive and judicial power in Denmark. The palace also accommodates rooms for the Danish Monarchy. Focusing on the royal part of the palace, Christiansborg Palace is H.M. the Queen's working palace. This is where the Queen holds audiences, signs laws, holds banquets and receptions, celebrates royal anniversaries and receives state visits. It is a working palace where old traditions and the modern Royal Family meet. You will see dazzling halls, adorned with colorful tapestries, vast paintings, patterned floors, glittering chandeliers, and sumptuous stucco ceilings. You can explore The Royal Kitchen and see its two tons of shiny copper kitchenware. You can visit the beautiful palace chapel, stand underneath its dome and let your head spin as you gaze up at the angels in the ceiling décor more than 30 metres above you. In The Royal Stables you'll find the the white royal horses in the wintertime, and in the summertime the exhibition "All the kings' horses" - all year around you can see the Royal Family's array of carriages. One of them is coated with 24-carat gold leaf. You can also explore the underground ruins underneath Christiansborg Palace. These are ruins of earlier castles and palaces showing that the Castle Island is steeped in 800 years of power and political intrigue.
You can purchase a package ticket for all four attractions (Royal Reception Rooms, Fortress Ruins, Royal Kitchen, and Royal Stables) or purchase single ticket for each attraction. The Royal Chapel is free. The reception rooms are opulent, with gilded moldings, ornate ceilings, and massive chandeliers. There are many rooms to walk through and admire. The other three attractions are mildly interesting.

In the oldest barn in Denmark you find the best WW2 museum in Denmark from a Danish perspective on the occupation and resistance that followed. Authentic memorabilia combined with great story telling and nicely laid out exhibits make this museum a must see for anyone interested in WW2. You can also get close to and old Viking ship and see the old manor Bangsbo. The gardens are suberbly laid out too and in the adjacent field and forest you can see many deers. Highly recommend!

The home of Skagen painters Anna and Michael Ancher, presented exactly the same way as it was when Anna Ancher died in 1935 with their personal possessions along with 280+ artworks hanged or placed around the house. Also includes cafe, museum store and a space for small special exhibitions.
If you're the least interested in paintings or the life of artists, do go here. The house of Anna and Michael Ancher is crammed with paintings, atmosphere and so many stories.

The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.

This historic castle was constructed on three islands and is surrounded by lake and beautiful gardens. Frederiksborg Castle has housed The Museum of National History since 1878. A tour through the museum's many beautiful rooms is an encounter with kings, queens, nobles, the bourgeois, events, and epochs, which have all shaped the country's history and development from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. The museum was founded by brewer J.C. Jacobsen, the founder of Carlsberg.
I highly recommend spending half a day to a full day exploring the castle & the impeccable gardens surround the castle afterwards. Entry includes a very good audio guide which allows you to explore the castle's many rooms at your own pace. The castle is now a museum so expect to review a good history lesson in Danish culture too. Make sure you allow enough time to go to gardens behind the castle & take in the stunning view. If the weather/time permits, you can also take a ride on a small boat around the moat & lake that surrounds the castle

Experience the exhibition "Denmark's Wars" in the museum's large Rustkammersal and "A Distant War - a Danish Soldier in Afghanistan", an exhibition in which you can feel the atmosphere of a Danish combat group in Afghanistan.
