Christiansborg Palace adult combination ticket
The Royal Reception Rooms, Royal Kitchen, Ruins and Royal Stables on one date, in any order.
This is the ticket for one adult who wants the whole of Christiansborg's visitor side in a day. It covers the four sites the palace opens to the public, from the Throne Room and the Great Hall down to the medieval ruins under your feet and across to the royal horses. You choose the date; there is no time slot, so you move between sites at your own pace.
What to expect
Start at the Royal Reception Rooms when they open at 10:00. You climb the King's Staircase and walk through the Tower Hall, the oval Throne Room, the Hall of the Giants, the Alexander Hall and the Velvet Hall before reaching the Great Hall, 40 metres long and hung with Bjørn Nørgaard's 17 tapestries of Danish history.
Next, head down to the Royal Kitchen, set as it was on 15 May 1937 for Christian X's silver jubilee banquet, with around 800 pieces of copper on the walls. Then go under the palace to the Ruins, where the walls of Bishop Absalon's castle of 1167 and Copenhagen Castle have been open to visitors since 1924.
After lunch, cross the Riding Ground to the Royal Stables, open 13:30 to 16:00. The royal horses live here, and the coach collection includes the Gold Coach and the carriage used after the proclamation of King Frederik X in January 2024. Allow three to four hours in total.

Who it's not for
If you have an hour or less, this is more palace than you can use: the free Tower viewing platform is the quicker option. If you are also visiting Rosenborg and Amalienborg within three days, the Royal Palace Pass is the better choice. Children under 18 do not need this ticket; they enter free with a free ticket from the palace.
