Frequently asked questions
What does the combination ticket include?
All four Christiansborg visitor sites on one date: the Royal Reception Rooms, the Royal Kitchen, the Ruins under the palace and the Royal Stables. Visit them in any order during their opening hours. The Tower is separate and free.
Do children need a ticket?
Under-18s enter free, so we never sell a child ticket. They still need a free ticket from the palace, which you can collect at the ticket desk on the day or get when the adults book. Book only the adults with us.
Who can use the student ticket?
Anyone with a valid student ID. The palace checks it at the entrance, not us, so bring the physical card. If you cannot show it on the day, book the adult ticket instead.
What will I see inside?
The Throne Room with its balcony, the Great Hall and Bjørn Nørgaard's tapestries, the Velvet Hall, the Hall of the Giants and the Alexander Hall; the copper-filled Royal Kitchen; medieval castle walls in the Ruins; and the royal horses and coaches at the Stables.
How long should I allow?
Three to four hours for all four sites. Most people spend the longest in the Royal Reception Rooms. Start in the morning and leave the Royal Stables for the afternoon, as they open at 13:30.
What are the opening hours?
From 30 March to 1 November 2026 the Reception Rooms, Kitchen and Ruins open daily 10:00 to 17:00, and the Royal Stables 13:30 to 16:00. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing. In the 2025 winter season Mondays were closed; we check your date.
What if a site is closed for a royal event?
It can happen. Christiansborg is a working palace, and any site can close without prior announcement for state visits, audiences or royal events. We check the week's published hours for your date and tell you if a closure is announced, then take it up with the palace for you.
Is Christiansborg accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes, largely. The palace says all visitor sites can be reached with a wheelchair or walker; ask the ticket desk staff at each site for the lift. Wheelchairs can be borrowed at the Reception Rooms, and there are accessible toilets there and in the Royal Kitchen.
Can I bring a bag or a pushchair?
Only small bags and umbrellas. The cloakroom is limited, and large bags, suitcases, prams and pushchairs are not allowed inside. Pushchairs can be left in the Queen's Gate at your own risk; a baby sling works better.
Can I take photographs?
Yes, for personal use at all four sites. Only handheld cameras and phones: tripods, monopods, flash and lamps are not allowed. Commercial and wedding photography is not permitted.
How do I get there?
Take the Metro to Gammel Strand, the nearest station, then walk across the canal to Slotsholmen. From Copenhagen Central Station it is roughly a 20-minute walk. Parking nearby is very limited; the BLOX underground car park is about ten minutes away on foot.
Can I change my date?
Tell us before your date and we will ask the palace to move it. Changes depend on the operator agreeing, as tickets bought online carry no right of withdrawal. All sales are final; we refund only if we fail to deliver your ticket.
How do I receive my ticket?
By email, once your booking is confirmed with the palace. Show it on your phone at each site's entrance, or print it if you prefer. Check your spam folder if it has not arrived and reply to your confirmation email.
What is the Royal Palace Pass?
One adult ticket for three palaces. It starts with a booked 10-minute slot at Rosenborg Castle, the slot you pick at checkout. From that visit you have 72 hours for the Amalienborg Museum and every Christiansborg visitor site, with no time slot needed.
Should I pick the pass or the combination ticket?
If Christiansborg is your only palace, take the combination ticket. If you also want Rosenborg's Crown Jewels and the Amalienborg Museum within three days, the Royal Palace Pass covers all three. Remember the pass begins at Rosenborg, not here.
Is this the official Christiansborg website?
No. We are an independent concierge service that buys the official ticket from Kongernes Samling, The Royal Danish Collection, on your behalf and answers your questions in English. You can also buy directly at kongernessamling.dk.
Is the Tower included?
No, and it does not need to be. The viewing platform in Christiansborg's 106-metre tower is run by the Danish Parliament and is free, with a security check at the entrance. It makes an easy extra before or after your visit.
Can I eat or drink inside?
No food or drink is allowed inside the visitor sites. You can buy water at the Palace Shop by the Royal Reception Rooms, and bring a packed lunch to the tables in the Royal Library Garden or the benches on the Riding Ground.
