To see an exhibit featuring a collection of Danish crown jewels and regalia, head to Rosenborg Castle, one of the country's finest examples of Renaissance architecture. Originally constructed as King Christian IV's country house in 1606, the structure underwent several major expansion projects through 1624. The elegant castle sits in the middle of one of the city's liveliest parks and serves as a royal history museum. In addition to the famous crown jewels, which are displayed in the catacombs beneath the castle, the museum collection also includes a coronation carpet and the throne chair of Denmark.

We are new in Denmark and were recommended to visit one of the few castles this season, so we went to Rosenborg. We were excited and impressed to see the way all the history and their items are...

Copenhagen is not a big city, so we had plenty of time to explore all of the major sites, including Rosenborg castle. It was not my favorite. The interior was very dark and the place hasn’t been used.... more

If you are interested in medieval object/buildings, this is a place to go. The visit to the royal jewels is mouth dropping

A small and cute castle with an awesome garden and great outside design. I didn't have time to enter the inside, but did a good round walk that I enjoyed. Definitely worth the visit. If you're not going to enter, you can see it good enough from the gardens - the two aren't connected directly probably for security reasons.

We had a great time here. Very interesting, with the Danish crown treasure and a very well preserved castle. This one is a must see in Copenhagen. One ticket gets you in both the Treasury and the Castle. The castle is unique as most of it is original from the 1600’s. Very cool!

The castle is small but beautiful. It was less busy than castles we've been to in the past which allowed you to take your time and admire the castle. If your ticket gives you access to the Treasury, that is really beautiful. Combined, the castle took us an hour and a half. That may be reduced if you don't stop to read the information they have displayed. We enjoyed our time there.

A must see if in Copenhagen!! This castle is beautiful and it's also worth it to spend some time in the gardens surrounding the castle! The visit covers 3 floors with descriptions of all the rooms via a website that guides you through. In the basement, the crown Jewels which are incredible to see! One tip would be: if you're looking to visit also other museums, you should buy the multi-pass that will allow you to enter in 6 different places! Don't miss this!

Well worth the visit to view the Crown Jewels of Denmark and some of the expert craftsmanship on display throughout the castle, but especially so in the basement. Opulence to the extreme is the theme here, with a detailed guidebook to explain the significance of each room and artifact. Well worth the visit for your visit, especially those interested in royal history.
