Itinerary

Your 1.5-hour experience begins at the main entrance of Christiansborg Palace, where you’ll meet your guide and bypass the lines with your pre-reserved entry tickets. Step straight into the opulent Royal Reception Rooms, where centuries of Danish royal history come alive through stories of state banquets, royal traditions, and modern diplomacy. As you walk through lavishly decorated halls, you’ll visit the Queen's Library and the spectacular Throne Room—the iconic setting from which new Danish monarchs are proclaimed to the public.

The highlight of the journey takes place in the Great Hall, home to the famous tapestries by artist Bjørn Nørgaard. Here, your guide will decode the vivid, monumental artworks chronicling 1,000 years of Nordic and world history.
