Denmark · MUSEUMS
On a dark wet afternoon a museum is not a fallback here, it is the plan. The 7 below cover the National Museum, the design collections and the brewery exhibition, with entry prices and which tickets are timed.
Spend a few hours or return over several visits with a ticket valid for 365 days. Explore Stone Age and Bronze Age finds, Viking objects, Danish explorers, and the popular Viking Sorceress exhibition at your own pace. The museum is wheelchair accessible and includes a café, shop, lockers, and a children’s area.
“Okay, the Viking sorcerers audio could have been better.”
Enter Christian VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg and explore rooms preserved from Denmark’s royal family. See the Fabergé Chamber, Christian X’s study, Queen Louise’s salon, and the grand Gala Hall. The self-guided visit takes about 45 to 60 minutes, includes current exhibitions, and works well for families.
“Fabulous place to visit! spent about 1 hour in the palace and longer exploring outside. Only 15 min walk from the centre.”
Step into Carlsberg’s original brewery in Copenhagen for a self-guided exhibition on J.C. Jacobsen, Carl Jacobsen, brewing science, and the brand’s global story. Interactive displays, videos, a collection of more than 22,000 bottles, and an included alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink make this a compact visit for beer fans and curious families.
“This museum shows you how Danish beer is made, i would recommend to everyone to also add the beer tasting also. We went on Christmas and we did the beer tasting with jul beer and was awesome”
Spend a full day at Copenhagen’s Danish War Museum, housed in Christian IV’s 1604 Arsenal. See centuries of armor, weapons, war stories, an Afghan military vehicle, a complete American Civil War uniform, and a new exhibition on drone warfare. The museum ticket costs $20 per person.
Visit Copenhagen’s MACA Museum in historic Nyhavn for Banksy’s early drawings, stencils, photos and paintings, plus works by Warhol, Basquiat, KAWS, Haring, Kusama and leading street artists. Your one-day ticket includes every exhibition, downloadable audio guides in 23 languages, and coat and bag storage.
Spend 45 minutes to an hour at Copenhagen’s MACA Museum, where Banksy’s early work shares space with graffiti and contemporary art by Warhol, Basquiat, KAWS, RETNA, Hirst, and Murakami. You’ll explore three floors in English, with written explanations, a coat and bag rack, and central sights such as Amalienborg Palace and the Marble Church close by.
“Very enriching and beautiful exhibition. I was surprised and impressed by the exhibition I had come to see, but also that.Auto-translated”
Join a private, 2 to 3-hour walk through Copenhagen’s Old Town with a licensed guide. See Nyhavn, the Round Tower, Great Synagogue, University, and Cathedral, then choose the 3-hour option for reserved entry to the Danish Jewish Museum and its exhibits on Jewish traditions and Danish Jewish life.
“Our tour quide had excellent information. We all were happy with the tour and would recommend it. Glad we did it.”
Pick a canal, a castle or a table.
