Free entry included in the CPH Discover Card but pre-booking of tickets was not possible, so I headed there early, before opening hours (10am) to ensure I get to enter.

One of the first few to enter (yay!) when doors opened and got a ticket for the first entry at 10.10am. Bags larger than the size of a ladies handbag needed to be left in their locker room next to the ticket counter, free of charge (was surprised at the old school lockers with big keys).

There are no audio guides though they have little booklets with some info and QR codes with more detailed info online. I think an audio guide would have enhanced the experience, else I felt like I needed to read up before coming, so I know what to look out for as I admire what's in there.

It starts at the main building from ground floor to second floor. Then one goes down the same way one came up and exits at the side to re-enter the building just next door, to see the Basement and Treasury.

The Basement is a collection of all things precious, such as weapons (swords and guns), all sorts of objects made of ivory, amber, glass and even Rosenborg Wine, which is served at the Queen’s New Year banquet and for special occasions in the royal household. The wine was formerly kept in wooden barrels, the oldest of which, from 1598, once belonged to Christian IV’s mother, Dowager Queen Sophie.

Fürther down from the Basement is the highlight of this castle, the Treasury. Where the most precious stones and the Crowns are kept, behind vaulted doors.

From Christian III's Imperial Sword, to Christian IV’s crown (made 1595-1596 by Dirich Fyring in Odense. Gold with enamel, table-cut stones and pearls; total weight 2895 g) to Crowns of the absolutist kings and queens.

Spent 2 hrs here including photos in the garden outside the castle. Could have been longer if an audio guide is available to describe all the items.
