Christiansborg Palace is an impressive blend of history and architecture, offering a glimpse into Denmark’s royal past. The palace is beautiful both inside and out, with grand rooms and interesting exhibitions. I particularly enjoyed exploring the royal reception rooms and the impressive royal kitchen. The ticket price is worth it for the experience, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. If you’re in Copenhagen, don’t miss this landmark it’s a great way to learn more about Denmark’s monarchy and history

Christiansborg Palace isn’t just where Denmark’s Parliament meets—it's where centuries of Copenhagen’s drama, disaster, and rebirth are etched into the stone. Standing on ground that’s hosted castles since the 1100s, this location has seen more phoenix moments than most cities. The current palace is actually the third version—its two predecessors were destroyed in fires (1794 and 1884), and the locals weren’t exactly thrilled about rebuilding it again. But thankfully, they did, because what stands today is truly remarkable. You don’t need to be a history buff to appreciate the layers here—from the Royal Reception Rooms to the underground ruins of the original castle foundations. The free tower access is a bonus—climb it for panoramic views over Slotsholmen and beyond. If you're into politics, history, or just impressive architecture, Christiansborg absolutely earns a place on your Copenhagen itinerary.

Lovely place. I loved all the opulent palace rooms. The stables closed at 1:30pm, so we didn't see those. We did see some white horses out in the corral though. You need quite a bit of time to visit here.

The chandeliers and tapestries are stunning! I especially loved the Venetian glass in the ballroom. Self guided tour through formal rooms and kitchen. Imagine more copper pots than you think are possible.glearming from every corner of the kitchen. Special exhibition showcasing the ruins below the castle and the 1697 witch trials Interesting to hear a 16 station audio of the process and experiences.

The Royal Reception Rooms of the palace are sumptuously decorated and worth a visit. The Copenhagen Card gives you access. Otherwise, your options are a combined ticket that allows you in all areas or paying for an individual area. If money or time is tight, then the Royal Reception Rooms ticket offers the best value for money. Bags are not allowed in the Royal Reception Rooms. There are lockers next to the souvenir area. The lockers are small. I only just managed to cram my rucksack anymore one. All areas close at different times, and the Royal Reception Rooms were the first to close on a Sunday, so check this before you start your visit. There are toilets in this area, including disabled toilets. They were clean. There was a large souvenir shop, which had a good range of items. Staff were welcoming and happy to help. There is disabled access, but you need to get a member of staff to operate the lifts when entering and leaving. An accompanying companion can get free entry if they have a companion card. Disabled parking is available near the Thorvaldsen museum entrance.

A must visit place but leave plenty of time. It has an 800 year history and today it houses the Danish Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court. It is also used by the Danish monarch for royal receptions. As with a huge number of buildings this one has also been subject to rebuilding due to fires. The complex has many areas of great interest including the royal reception rooms, the Tower Room, the Oval Throne Room and not to be missed the Royal Stables, the palace Chapel and the underground ruins

Beautiful and full of history! Had a great time visiting Christiansborg Palace with my family. Lots of interesting and interactive exhibits – both fun and educational. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere is really special. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Copenhagen!

Another Incredible Preserve of History! This is another place in Copenhagen where you can learn a lot about the traditions and history of the royals. Royal furnitures and pieces of art on display. The throne again is here to see. Palace also holds the stables, the kitchen attached to it. This Palace comes as a part of Copenhagen card if you have purchased it and is just opposite to the river cruise point. The staff are friendly and the whole place is very clean. Definitely visit on Copenhagen card 👍

I’ve been to a few castles and palaces yet this has to easily be one of, if not my favourite of Denmark! It’s so beautiful in the reception rooms, the kitchen was beautiful as well and very informative. My favourite place was the ruins as it was one of the largest areas and had so much info on the history of the items you saw. I would recommend getting tickets to all the areas as it works out cheaper and makes the experience easier. I’d strongly recommend going to specially if you’re a fan of the royal family 😊

I bought the 2:30 pm entrance tickets for all the entry areas but things like the Royal stables closed at 4 pm (not 5 pm like other parts), so it was not enough time. We got there at 4:03 pm and were escorted out. The main first area is the ruins under the castle with lots of broken walls. You can spend a lot of time here with the stories to read and narration about the poor women who were accused of witchcraft and tortured and imprisoned. We did have trouble finding our way out and had to backtrack the way we came. If you are claustrophobic or don't like dark underground areas, you may want to skip this part. Also, there is no seating if you have trouble walking and standing. We did spend too much time there when there was so much else to see and could have saw the stables if we had not been reading most of the signs/listening to the audio. Make sure you go to the bathroom by the ticket area, since there are not bathrooms in the ruin areas and they are quite extensive with other associated exhibit areas. You will need to walk to the different buildings to see everything. At the castle, we enjoyed seeing the guided tour of the Royal Reception rooms and dining areas. My favorite was seeing the kitchen area and watching the video about how the food is planned and prepared at the kitchen of another castle then brought here and re-heated and assembled and served. There is another area with Orders given to the royalty by royalty of other countries, medals, ceremonial robes. Excellent palace to visit and see all the areas. Through the window of the palace, I saw a man with lots of medals on his suit and a well dressed lady watching the changing of the guard and tourists. I was excited at seeing some of the Royal Family or other dignitary, but I was also grateful that I am a commoner and could look out the windows of my house in my pajamas without having hundreds of tourists taking pictures and videos of me.
