Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,893 reviews
This historic castle was constructed on three islands and is surrounded by lake and beautiful gardens. Frederiksborg Castle has housed The Museum of National History since 1878. A tour through the museum's many beautiful rooms is an encounter with kings, queens, nobles, the bourgeois, events, and epochs, which have all shaped the country's history and development from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. The museum was founded by brewer J.C. Jacobsen, the founder of Carlsberg.

I highly recommend spending half a day to a full day exploring the castle & the impeccable gardens surround the castle afterwards. Entry includes a very good audio guide which allows you to explore the castle's many rooms at your own pace. The castle is now a museum so expect to review a good history lesson in Danish culture too. Make sure you allow enough time to go to gardens behind the castle & take in the stunning view. If the weather/time permits, you can also take a ride on a small boat around the moat & lake that surrounds the castle
3. The Karen Blixen Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 243 reviews
A historic home, bird sanctuary, park, and museum all in one, located in the house of writer and Nobel Prize finalist Baroness Karen Blixen (in the US and UK, Isak Dinesen), known especially for "Out of Africa" and "Seven Gothic Tales". The museum not only maintains the 17th century house, Blixen's furnishings, and the park, but regularly hosts exhibitions related to Blixen's life and work in Kenya and Denmark. Recent exhibitions have included an exhibition "HER" by internationally acclaimed artist Candice Breitz about Meryl Streep's career.

When we lived in Rungsted all those years ago, Rungstedlund was not open to the public. The Foundation which runs it has done a great job of restoration and interpretation. To visit we used our Copenhagen Card which covered both for the coastal train and the entrance fee, and we combined the visit with lunch in the café which had been recommended. From the station we walked the 1.5km, first along Rungstedvej towards the coast, and then a small almost hidden path (with a small signpost) took us through beautiful woods to Karen Blixen's simple grave, marked by a large stone, under a magnificent tree with a view for eternity…. We approached the house through the garden which supplies all the decorative bouquets of fresh flowers. The Museum itself is intimate and personal, and interprets the life of this fascinating, daring, adventurous, talented, controversial woman who was ahead of her time.... The friendly staff give a short introduction and are happy to answer any questions. You then go at your own pace with an audioguide and its excellent explanations….
