Frederiksborg Castle

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

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art collection focuses on contemporary works from 1945 to the present. Works by Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Louise Bourgeois are part of the permanent exhibition at this white villa named Louise, after the first (and second and third) wife of the man who commissioned the building.

The location alone makes this worth the trip (about 30- 40 minutes from central Copenhagen). The restaurant has a great buffet option which was delicious but very expensive. Great exhibitions, a lively children’s centre with different activities and beautiful gardens to walk through. We visited this museum after visiting Kronborg Castle and it was very easy (train to Kronborg then a local bus to the museum and finally train back to Copenhagen) all included with the Copenhagen card - well worth the money.

Kronborg Slot

Temporarily closed. Kronborg is a must-see! “Hamlet’s Castle” is a magnificent experience with soaring towers, a huge ballroom, damp casemates and just 40 minutes from Copenhagen. At the narrowest neck of the sound, between Denmark and Sweden, the medieval fortress merges with the magnificent Renaissance castle and there are few sites in the world where so much drama and history is gathered in one place. Mythical hero Holger the Dane’s mighty sword meets Shakespeare’s equally mighty pen, as the spirit of Hamlet glides through the castle. No wonder this extraordinary place is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. From June to August, Kronborg comes to life! Hamlet and his family take up residence in the castle and as you explore the castle, you will tumble right into the story. The fate of Hamlet unfolds before your very eyes. This interactive live performance that will play out daily during opening hours of Kronborg Castle.

Only a short distance from Copenhagen by train to Helsingør town. Very great castle, Unesco World Heritage site and the original place of Hamlet story. The castle is renaissance style. There are royal apartments, ballroom, casemates, chapel, tapestries, fortress...There are also a café and a very nice restaurant.

Ordrupgaard

Odrupgaard is an exclusive art museum with a collection that includes names such as Monet, Gauguin, Matisse, Renoir and Hammershoi. Initially, the museum building served as a manor house. You can still sense the atmosphere throughout the old rooms and the park. Additionally, you can experience temporary exhibitions and (on weekends) visit the renowned Danish architect Finn Juhl's house which is a part of the museum. The sculptural extensional adjacent building is designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid. How to get there: Take the S-train to Klampenborg or Lyngby Station, and then take bus 388 to Vilvordevej. It is a 2-minute walk from there to the museum.

Frederiksborg Slotskirke

Reviewed By jgjison

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.

Frederiksborg slotshave

Reviewed By Funtraveler2014 - Las Cruces, United States

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.

Fredensborg Palace

Fredensborg Palace was built in the beginning of the 18th Century. The image of an Italian country villa was on the drawing board when Frederick IV began construction on his Baroque palace. The king wanted to create a haven where his family life could flourish. This Baroque masterpiece took seven years to complete, and during this time the gardens were also planted. When Frederick IV died, his son Christian VI pulled down wings of the palace and erected new ones, which he, albeit, generally never made use of. It was only when Christian IX came to the throne that the palace was used for the purpose for which it was built. In the summer months, Christian IX and his queen Louise's 6 children, their children's spouses and 36 grandchildren flocked to Fredensborg Palace. Laughter and the trip-trap of tiny feet echoed in the palace halls, and members of the Danish Royal Family would spend time playing in the gardens. Ever since those happy days, the Danish Royal Family has been moving into the palace for the summer months, giving the youngest members of the family a trove of carefree childhood memories to treasure. The Royal Couple use the palace for three months in the spring and three months in the autumn. They celebrate weddings, silver wedding anniversaries and birthdays at the palace. Fredensborg also provides a setting for Her Majesty to carry out her official duties. She receives heads of state and ambassadors who submit their credentials to her at the palace. In the summer, Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Princess Mary use the palace as a summer residence. They have their own residential quarters in the Chancellery House. The expansive Baroque palace gardens are open to the public all year round. The palace and the Private Gardens are open for guided tours from July 1st to August 7th.

This palace is so awesome. We've been there in spring, summer and winter - all year this place is great. In the spring, the Queen comes to Fredensborg for her summer residency. It seems the entire town gathers in the city center in the evening to "welcome" the queen. They march from the center with torches they carry to the entrance of the palace. This is the only time the general public is allowed inside this area of the grounds while the Queen is there. Once everyone is gathered in that area, the Queen comes outside where she is greeted by song. Several songs are sang. I'm a big fan of Viking history and their march to the palace with torches seems to me to be a bit of a Viking ritual (it is really cool to experience). Once the singing is done, she delivers a short thank you to the public for the welcome and she wishes they a happy summer. There is also a great greenhouse on site that offers tours occasionally one can tour the palace -we did several years ago. The Crown Prince and his wife are currently building facilities there to house horses as that area has several prominent horse breeders and horse farms. The gardens (woods) are great to take a stroll. There are many great sculptures in the gardens too. There is usually a lot of snow there in the inter so sledding is possible there.
