About

Discover Christiansborg Slot, Copenhagen’s iconic seat of power and royal grandeur. Nestled on Slotsholmen, this singular palace unites Denmark’s Parliament, Supreme Court, and Prime Minister’s Office—plus richly decorated Royal Reception Rooms still used by the monarchy. Visitors can wander through a 106‑metre tower, explore medieval ruins beneath the palace, and feel centuries of history under one majestic roof.
A living testament to Denmark’s vibrant heritage and cultural resonance, this magnificent palace blends Baroque, Neoclassical, and Neo‑Baroque styles, and highlights an extraordinary story of resilience: built, burned, and rebuilt twice before its majestic 1928 incarnation. Visitors are invited on a journey of discovery: starting with the glittering Royal Reception Rooms—where state banquets and ambassadorships unfold—then descending into the atmospheric remains of Bishop Absalon’s 12th‑century fortress. The Great Hall dazzles with Queen Margrethe II’s tapestry saga depicting 1,000 years of Danish narrative, while the Royal Stables display elegant horses and ceremonial coaches. For panoramic splendor, ascend the tallest tower in Copenhagen for breathtaking, free public views over the cityscape. Christiansborg Slot is not just a monument—it’s a vibrant crossroads of governance, royalty, and living history.

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.

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.

Majestic experience at Christiansborg Palace! The grand state rooms and the stunning Throne Room showcase Denmark’s royal heritage beautifully. Climbing the tower offers incredible panoramic views of Copenhagen. A top pick for history buffs and architecture lovers!

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.

The architecture is magnificent. Seeing the guards is very cool. You cannot go wrong visiting this castle. There is a horse and carriage museum with lots of interesting history.

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.

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.

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.
