Description
Discover the palace where Denmark is run—and where royalty still receives guests. This isn't a dusty museum. Christiansborg is a living, working palace where the King hosts ambassadors, parliament debates laws, and the Supreme Court sits—all under one roof. Your 2-hour guided tour brings this unique blend of past and present to life. You'll walk through the Royal Reception Rooms, where state banquets are hosted, stand in the gilded Throne Room where monarchs are proclaimed, and descend into the eerie 12th-century ruins beneath the palace. You'll see the Royal Kitchen's legendary copper pots, the Royal Stables' majestic horses and carriages, and the serene Palace Chapel. The highlight? The Queen's Tapestries in the Great Hall—17 monumental artworks chronicling 1,000 years of Danish history, created for the Queen's 50th birthday. Your ticket includes entry to all areas, and after the tour, don't miss the Free Tower(Tårnet) for a 360° panorama of Copenhagen from 106 meters up—the perfect end to your royal experience.Includes
