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!

Christianborg Palace was one of the royal homes of the Danish monarchy and currently houses the Danish parliament and Prime Minister's office. It is open to the public for tours. It is a great place to visit and learn about the history of the palace and royal family. There are many places to explore and see artwork and architecture.

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 went up the tower of Christiansborg when I had a reservation at the restaurant inside. Christiansborg itself is a beautiful and historic building, home to the Danish government. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Copenhagen. If you want a great view of the city, the tower is a good spot for that. Just keep in mind that there’s airport-style security before you go up, so give yourself a bit of extra time.

Don’t forget to visit the tower, which is free of cost. Just the palace rooms +towers is sufficient for a visit. But if you have more time you could purchase the combination ticket which allows visitors to the ruins, kitchen and the horse stable.

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.

Highly recommended place to visit! The Christiansborg Palace is still used occasionally by Denmark royalty to receive key political figures. The current palace was built since 1927, though earlier palaces existed on the site since the 12th century. We spent a week at Copenhagen and this was one of our favourite places to visit! Highly recommend checking out the reception rooms. Rich history, beautifully detailed decor, and explanations on various items abound. Well worth our time.

Visited this palace and I'm glad we did. Rooms were amazing and we got to see the kitchen and the stables too complete with the horses inside. If you have time go and see the ruins beneath the palace as this is very interesting too.
