1. Frederiksborg Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,893 reviews
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

During this era religion played a central role in people's lives and this place is a testimony to it. No expense was spared, people devoted fortune, energy, skill and diligent time and talent to making this place that cannot be found in any of today's modern structures. One could spend a whole day in here just appreciating every nook and cranny, every attention to every conceivable detail of this striking feature of the castle. A true showcase of human talent and devotion. As the saying goes: they don't make them today like they used to.

If you decide to visit Frederik's castle, take the time to unwind in the gardens. The main garden is located on the back side of the castle and is done in the french style similar to Versailles. It is the result of meticulous attention over the past few centuries. There is also a hidden gem of a garden to the back left of the castle. It is quaint with a few benches, trees, ducks, and lots of lush greenery. It is a great place for a picnic if you don't have food at the two cafes on the castle grounds. Overall, a very relaxing spot. I can recommend this stop and I will return again.

Description of the garden The size of the garden - including the surrounding forest, is 37.000 sqr. meters. The total walking distance - form start to end is approx. 2.500 meters, and there is a difference in altitude of around 20 meters (from lowest to highest point). A full garden walk task from 60-90 minutes. We have a large parking space, that easily takes a large tourist bus. At the "top" of the garden we have a well-equipped barn, that can house up to 50 people. Here you can rest, at tables, and we can arrange for food or beverages of you like.
