Best time to visit
Visit early on weekday mornings to avoid tour groups and get the best light in the Royal Reception Rooms. Late spring and summer offer longer opening hours but expect higher visitor numbers.
Budget tips
Admission for the Royal Reception Rooms, Royal Stables and Palace Ruins is typically around 120-160 DKK for adults, concessions and children are cheaper, and the Tower viewing platform is free; check the official site for current prices. Copenhagen Card sometimes covers palace attractions, and buying timed tickets online saves queueing.

About
Raske fakta: Marble halls resonate with ceremonial footsteps, while a lofty tower rewards curious climbers with sweeping city panoramas that often catch visitors by surprise. Beneath the ceremonial rooms lie medieval ruins and a maze of preserved royal kitchens where everyday objects surface during digs, offering a tactile glimpse into past court life.
Høydepunkter: A single building houses the country's parliament, the supreme court, and the prime minister's office under one roof, with over 800 rooms that range from wood-paneled debating chambers to glittering royal reception halls. Behind the scenes the royal stables shelter the gilded Golden Coupé and roughly 20 carriage horses used in state processions, while the palace cellars reveal archaeological layers you can walk over, with cobbles and 900-year-old masonry underfoot.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening to tour the Royal Reception Rooms before the main guided groups arrive.
- Save the tower for last for the best light and fewer people when you descend.
- Wear sensible shoes for the underground ruins, the floor can be uneven and damp.
- Check on photography rules on arrival and focus on wide shots of the Throne Room ceilings and the painted stalls in the Royal Stables.
