Wow what a castle. I love it, not but just packed of everything into this place. I was expecting…read morehuge big, but turned out quite simple, elegant and full of surprises.

Just simply magnificent, I didn't have time to be bored or a break from it cause everything just connect from one to another. Everything just has that cozy but yet loyal vibe. Love it, and I think this is the best & my favorite I seem so far.

The day pass is worth it for convenient access to the castle. Free lockers are a nice touch, and the guards with bayonets add a bit of royal drama. Inside, the halls are filled with art and artifacts -- the grand hall with the thrones and lion statues is a standout. Don't miss the Crown Jewels in the walk-in vault downstairs, complete with a step ladder for the perfect view. A truly regal visit, well worth the stop.

There is a beautiful garden in the middle of the beautiful, heavily peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of exhibits to see and leans and it's not a small museum either, it big inside so a lot of walking for sure so wear comfortable shoe when visit. Staff are everywhere and they are friendly and helpful when needed. There is a locker room on the lower level and quite big too. Just try to go light or empty handed to avoid checkin and time.

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7. The Planetarium: shows the solar system I highly recommend visiting Rundetaarn. It is located in Norreport; beautiful shops and restaurants. Polse: best hot dogs are served in this truck outside tower Rundetaarn is located on: Kobmagergarde 52 A 1150 København K Denmark Check out Rundetaarn.dk for more info

I recommend taking a walking tour of Copenhagen first which will give you some quick highlights…read moreabout this tower, and then come visit this tower afterwards. Plan on taking a half day or maybe longer if you want to get into details since it closes at 5pm. This was known as the zero ground for accurately measuring Denmark, and even though you may think of this as just the tower, there is more attached to this above the Church. At the top, you have a great view of the surrounding area with highlights marked.

The periode where we turned from a peasant society ruled by a dictatorially king to a democratic socialist wellfare state. I have been here for a guided tour. We heard a bit of history of the building, the living conditions for a normal working class family during the Industrialization, Christmas in the years after WW2, and much more. Our guide were a fountain of knowledge, and he were able tell the history in a very empathetic way. We didn't have time to see all the exhibitions, so I definitely have to go back to this museum on my own. I'm also planning to make a excursion with my colleagues from work. A guided tour is only 1500 DKR. Members of traditionally socialist trade unions hare free admission.

So my experience was a little less enjoyable sauntering, and more Pacman-style weaving to get where I wanted to go.

The Botanical Gardens are connected/right next to the geological museum…read more The main highlight is that they are open fairly early in the morning and are free. That and the fact that botanical gardens are just gosh-dang beautiful. The park closes a little early in the evening, so I didn't have much time to explore before needing to clear out unfortunately. There is a part of the garden featuring hops and beer-helping plants. Loads of paths, lots of greenery...you can't go wrong. In the center of the park is the Palm House, which is spectacular to look at from the outside. It costs extra to go in, and I was at the end of my budget so I didn't get to go inside to see the exotic and tropical plants. If you like walking around in nature and looking at pretty things, you should come to the Botanisk Have. Also then you are close to the national art and geology museums...three birds (attractions) and one transit stop! Worth a stroll through!

There are no words to truly put this exhibit into perspective. The current exhibit is truly…read moresurreal, and honestly, quite humbling. We went in with a level of excitement but as soon as we made it underground, and away from the light of the entrance, the mood changed and we were completely immersed within another time and dimension. While the architecture and history alone make the space worth visiting, the current exhibit pulls out from within you, emotions and awareness you may not have ever harnessed. It is truly, truly, something you must see! I had researched the Cisternerne for quite some time prior to our trip, and it lined up perfectly with our morning at the zoo, as it was right across the street. The park above the exhibit is absolutely beautiful, and lends no insight to what lies below it.

For a unique experience while in Copenhagen, book the Cisternerne exhibit boat tour. Here's why:…read more 1) History; First of all, the Cisternerne has an interesting history. Built in the middle of the 19th century, this underground reservoir once supplied the entire city with drinking water. Once abandoned, the space is now an exhibition space. 2) Art: My friend and I went when Tomás Saraceno did his "Event Horizon" exhibit. Rowing a little boat through the exhibit, you're asked to remain silent and be present as you go through the water. You'll pass art that creates light and sound adding to the space's darkness. It's so unique! 3) Location: It's right next to the Frederiksberg Palace, a yellow 1735 palace with gardens that are popular with walkers and runners. Take time before or after the Cisternerne to explore the area. If you go, note that rowing is at your own pace. They recommend 40 minutes, but once you reach the end, you're done! My friend and I felt like we were rowing slowly, but it only took us 20 minutes. We felt like we didn't get the full experience. We wished we had stopped at more spots to sit and enjoy the exhibit.

The greatest zoological museums are Naturkunde in Berlin or Zoological Museum in London, and…read moreZoologisk Museum is not near in that class, but it offers something else. You can get pretty close to a range of stuffed animals and skulls. This is fun for children, but the old biologist also use a lot of time with the skulls. The museum is small and intimate. You can do it in 2-3 hours, if you do not linger like me. It's situated in the two top floors at the Zoological Institute of Københavns Universitet (UCPH). Take the lift or the stairs from the small gift shop at ground flor. By the lift you can start your visit in an area used to changing exhibitions. Learn at the website, what it is right now. From this room you can enter an icecave. In the cave you visit the big mammoth, and you can begin to explore the fauna of Denmark though history. After the stroll though history, and can learn a bit about nowadays fauna in Denmark. It's an old and very poor part of the exhibition. The last thing at this floor is the school service. It's the place with stuffed animals and skulls. In school holidays they have university students with all kind of exciting things here. At the top floor you can walk your way from the Artic to the Anartic, and the great evolution exhibition.
