The Lego House is an absolute must for visitors to Billund- it is a triumph and celebration of the core values of Lego- play, creativity and imagination. It balances state of the art technology with the simplicity of the basic brick and creates a multitude of play stations for children and adults to get thoroughly absorbed in making and creating. The house itself is uncompromising in its quality and design, with wonderful outside play areas on every level and a huge Lego brick on the roof. Lots of photo opportunities and interactive elements throughout. From the moment you walk in and a big screen scans your hand and asks which Lego character you are, the fun begins! An absolute MUST is lunch in the restaurant which is ordered by creating a menu sequence of Lego pieces then delivered to your hands in a big Lego brick by robot. The whole experience is delightful- sadly the robots had a minor malfunction when it came to our turn but the meal was delicious and it didn’t spoil the excitement... Super staff, friendly and knowledgeable and clearly committed to the Lego ethos and values. We liked the fact that once you pay to get in, apart from the allure of the shop, the attraction does not try to exploit opportunities to pay extra money for gimmicks throughout each stage. Everything from the brilliant stop motion film studio to the Robo lab is included in the entrance price- very reasonable for what you get to explore and enjoy (and for us an entire 8 hours of play!) and can be upgraded for only 200 DKK for a year pass which seemed brilliant value if you could visit a number of times- there would certainly be plenty to keep you entertained on return visits... The History of Lego display in the basement is informative and full of examples of Lego kits through the years which show the evolution of the famous toy. Don’t miss the chance to create a unique card with your Lego ‘DNA’ made with a combination of 6 red bricks. Try not to lose it like we did, and you’ll have a really great day. Lego house- well done- this was a real highlight of our trip and we would recommend it for all ages- a triumph of design, awe and wonder!

Tivoli Gardens

From mid-April to mid-September, a world-class amusement park comes to life in the center of Copenhagen. More than two dozen rides await you, in addition to live entertainment and more than 30 eateries.

Reviewed By ScottyGee81 - Manchester, United Kingdom

Had a fantastic night at Tivoli with friends, 'Little Disney' was very well kept with beautiful gardens and water features. The rides were AMAZING, we went on The Golden Tower and The Star Flyer, also The Demon which was a super-fast thrill seeking roller coaster and Vertigo which is both scary and gets you in fits of giggles at the same time. A little dark at night along the paths etc but very different in a city centre, fully enjoyed our trip to Tivoli and would definitely go back.

Rosenborg Castle

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.

Nyhavn

Copenhagen's Nyhaven, or "New Harbor," is actually steeped in a long heritage. Colorful buildings line the canal and hint at a history of small-vessel traffic. Like many ports, this strip has a salty history, rich with sailors, drinking and literary exploits. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen made his home in Nyhavn as well. It's cleaned up now and is a lovely place for a stroll.

The National Museum of Denmark

Danish history is brought to life at The National Museum of Denmark Meet the Danes of today and of the past. Go for a guided walk with a local insider who will elaborate on Danish welfare, the country’s free spirit and what “hygge” really means. And finally, hear from the Danes in the 9th Century; the Vikings who were feared and renowned all over Europe. See the remains of the people who lost their lives in the tribal wars of The Stone Age. The woman who survived a blow to the head with a stone axe and later covered her mutilated head with a hat. See the treasures that the Vikings brought with them from their travels to England and The Mediterranean. Or experience the axe that in 1772 severed the head of one of the main characters of Danish history’s most dramatic love affair. On your way out, grab a Danish souvenir from the museum’s gift shop - and if you get hungry, you can always eat typically Nordic dishes at the appraised restaurant Smor.

Reviewed By zuv - Bucharest, Romania

For me, the most interesting museum in Copenhagen. There are lots of exhibits You can find here everything about the history of the Danes, starting with prehistory, passing to the Vikings, the Middle Ages and modern times. Danish explorers, lifestyle over time, weapons, jewelry, household items, art, etc. There is a café in the central atrium. You need at least 3 hours to see it all. As a minus, I think it would be necessary a better marked route to follow through the museum, to know what you saw and what did not.

Den Gamle By

Reviewed By Sidaraf - Turku, Finland

Its a remaining of old city that is 200-300 years old. Its partly reconstructed. Its a really nice place to spend time with family and friends. Its suitable for toddler and disable people. However, people with wheelchair won't be able to climb the wooden staircase of the old buildings. At some point its similar to a open air museum. There is a bakery that sells cookies, cakes, cinnamon breads and biscuits, which are based on 17th century old recipes,I highly recommend. It took 1.5 hours for us to explore. Its 135 DKK per adult.

Rundetarn

The Round Tower Lookout Tower – Observatory – Exhibitions – Concerts.One of the best-known and most popular structures in Denmark, the Round Tower has been a distinctive feature of the Copenhagen skyline since 1642. The Tower once soared far above the rest of the rooftops in the city, and University astronomers studied the stars and planets from the Observatory at the top. The scholars may have forsaken the building a long time ago, but during the winter visitors are still able to gaze at the cosmos from Europe's oldest functioning observatory. The platform that runs around the outside of the Observatory affords views over the old Latin Quarter – from here, you can spot most of the city's famous buildings. The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors have to climb the winding, white-washed Spiral Walk, where kids often hide in the niches, only to jump out shouting “boo!” as adults approach. Halfway up the tower is the entrance to the large and stunningly beautiful Library Hall, which now serves as a popular gallery and concert venue. It hosts several exhibitions a year, and stages concerts almost every week. Above the Library is the Bell Loft, notable for its enormous wooden beams, which were used in the reconstruction of the Tower following the great fire of Copenhagen in 1728. The Loft is also home to a small exhibition of fascinating artefacts from the Tower's history, including Christian IV's wax seal, a tin of medicine produced by Tycho Brahe, and a piece of the bomb that exploded in the Library Hall during the bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807.The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which combined church, library and observatory in a single building.

As expected, a great view from the top. On the way up you can stop off at an art exhibition and the obligatory shop (couldn’t resist buying a pencil with a gold crown in the top). Fab little alcoves on the way up and at one stop you can look through a glass floor with a view right to the bottom. Very interesting and a must see - very inexpensive.

Christiansborg Slot

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.

Reviewed By TA6888 - Vancouver, Canada

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.
