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

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art collection focuses on contemporary works from 1945 to the present. Works by Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Louise Bourgeois are part of the permanent exhibition at this white villa named Louise, after the first (and second and third) wife of the man who commissioned the building.
The location alone makes this worth the trip (about 30- 40 minutes from central Copenhagen). The restaurant has a great buffet option which was delicious but very expensive. Great exhibitions, a lively children’s centre with different activities and beautiful gardens to walk through. We visited this museum after visiting Kronborg Castle and it was very easy (train to Kronborg then a local bus to the museum and finally train back to Copenhagen) all included with the Copenhagen card - well worth the money.

Temporarily closed. Kronborg is a must-see! “Hamlet’s Castle” is a magnificent experience with soaring towers, a huge ballroom, damp casemates and just 40 minutes from Copenhagen. At the narrowest neck of the sound, between Denmark and Sweden, the medieval fortress merges with the magnificent Renaissance castle and there are few sites in the world where so much drama and history is gathered in one place. Mythical hero Holger the Dane’s mighty sword meets Shakespeare’s equally mighty pen, as the spirit of Hamlet glides through the castle. No wonder this extraordinary place is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. From June to August, Kronborg comes to life! Hamlet and his family take up residence in the castle and as you explore the castle, you will tumble right into the story. The fate of Hamlet unfolds before your very eyes. This interactive live performance that will play out daily during opening hours of Kronborg Castle.
Only a short distance from Copenhagen by train to Helsingør town. Very great castle, Unesco World Heritage site and the original place of Hamlet story. The castle is renaissance style. There are royal apartments, ballroom, casemates, chapel, tapestries, fortress...There are also a café and a very nice restaurant.

Its located in north of Copenhagen in a quiet peaceful countryside. It's a very amazing place specially for those who love nature and antique. The trees are more than 100 years old and even if they fall from age no one will touch them. There are around 2000 deers, you can see them when they fight or run. There is also old castle which is left untouched for 350 years. Generally it's amazing place I every see in copenhagen.

Odrupgaard is an exclusive art museum with a collection that includes names such as Monet, Gauguin, Matisse, Renoir and Hammershoi. Initially, the museum building served as a manor house. You can still sense the atmosphere throughout the old rooms and the park. Additionally, you can experience temporary exhibitions and (on weekends) visit the renowned Danish architect Finn Juhl's house which is a part of the museum. The sculptural extensional adjacent building is designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid. How to get there: Take the S-train to Klampenborg or Lyngby Station, and then take bus 388 to Vilvordevej. It is a 2-minute walk from there to the museum.

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….

A unique museum of the sometimes controversial, always monumental, artist Rudolph Tegner (1873-1950). The artist's classically inspired and often theatrical (border-line "too much", but never without talent and appeal) large-scale sculptures adorn the rooms of the museum as well as the magnificent sculpture park. It is place I have visited many times over the years, showed many a visitor - and I will happily return.
