When the royals are not using the palace, it is possible to visit as a regular guest. The palace consists of five places to visit: The Royal Reception Rooms with The Great Hall and the Queen's Tapestries, The Royal Stables, The Royal Kitchen, the Ruins under Christiansborg Palace, and Christiansborg Chapel.

Christiansborg Palace is where the greatest royal moments take place - and where you can get up close and personal. Experience the grandeur of The Great Hall and the special atmosphere of The Throne Room. Visit the Royal Stables, The Royal Kitchen or explore the 800-year-old ruins. With a Palace ticket, you get access to it all.

Christiansborg Palace has a more than 800 year-long history and since the beginning of the 1400s has been the state’s centre of power. Today the palace includes several institutions of central importance. The Folketing has at its disposal most of the rooms in the palace, but the Prime Minister, the High Court, and the Royal Reception Rooms are also located here.

The existing Christiansborg Palace is the last in a long row of buildings that have been on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen. Christian VI had the medieval Copenhagen Castle demolished immediately after his accession to the throne, and between 1734 and 1745, he built the first Christiansborg Palace, which, however, burned in 1794. The second Christiansborg Palace was completed in 1828 during the reign of Frederik VI, but it also burned in 1884. The third Christiansborg Palace was built between 1907 and 1928. Frederik VIII laid the cornerstone, and Christian X inaugurated the palace.
