They tout to be one of the oldest beers in the world and they might be. Very interesting to learn about the history of the brewery and play/interact with the displays at your own pace with your group time. Afterwards, you can visit the gift shop, the hall of beer, and taproom + stables. The horses were gorgeous and they're working, where you might catch them pulling a wagon around. If you're in Copenhagen, worth a visit!

This was our first trip to Sweden and we chose Lund for our destination. We picked this museum from…read morethe web because it looked interesting. It is an outdoor museums that showcases life in Sweden hundreds of years ago. They have a number of historical buildings, including one that is the oldest in the area. Each building is either furnished with period items or it is a museum with a theme such as printing presses. We enjoyed our short time here and would recommend this to others who like historical museums.

Did I mention that the actual Shakespeare play, Hamlet, is presumably set in Kronborg Castle? Our trip was timed for us to see part of the play - the final scene, the sword fight between Hamlet and Laertes, was in the grand ballroom!! So fun! Also, our guide was happy to change my drop-off place to accommodate my plans.

So the castle that stands today is the third rendition as the first two perished in fires. The…read moreoldest ruins under the castle date back to the 12th century and is a very evident ring wall that protected Bishop Absalon's castle. After being demolished, Copenhagen Castle was erected as a stronghold. The castle was rebuilt in 1369 by Christian IV and redone several times by the following successors. It was completely torn down and rebuilt by Christian VI in 1745. This was when the first evidence of the medieval ruins were discovered. This castle was not around long either, as a fire took it in 1794. The Christiansborg was built a second time in the early 1800's but did not fair much better as it was lost to fire in 1884. The current Christiansborg was designed in the neo-baroque style and the ruins made accessible to the public in 1924. If you learn anything from this, let it be that persistence (combined with modern heating alternatives) finally pays off! This was by far my favorite part of the castle that we toured as it was so unique to other castle tour experiences. The dimly lit rooms with the artifacts amidst the rubble makes you feel like you are being transported into another world. The informative placards tell the history as well as stories of the past. This combined with random little artifacts, including some little kitty paws imprinted in stone, make this a pretty neat experience This exhibit is also included with the Copenhagen Card if you happen to have one. If you are planning a trip to Christiansborg, I wouldn't want to miss the ruins!

Larger than I expected, lots of historical info along the route underground, an interesting, kinda creepy setting...albeit slightly claustrophobic. It didn't take long to tour, I'm estimating we were probably down there for 30-45 minutes maybe, granted although we wandered the entire path we didn't stop to read every display.

For the purposes of tourists, only the royal section related to the monarchy is open for exploration. The ticket that you purchase depends on how many parts of the royal section you wish to visit: 1) Reception room - where the Queens holds meetings 2) Royal Stables - where the horses and carriages are held 3) Royal Kitchen - where the meals are prepared 4) Ruins - the ruins underneath the castle If you have more time, you can see all of them. For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.

Christiansborg Palace is actually pretty wild -- it's the only place in the world where the government, the prime minister, and the Supreme Court all work in the same building. And under it, there are literal castle ruins from like the 1100s that you can walk through. Plus, the Danish royal family still uses parts of it for fancy events, so it's kind of like government offices + ancient history + royalty all stacked in one spot. Funny story. There's this extremely long dining table (see pics). You're not supposed to sit there but the tour guide said a family sat there to eat lunch one time.

Now when I got there that was what I saw. At about 12.30am we were leaving Den Rode Cottage and waited for a good half an hour and was notified no train was coming.

However DSB decided to purchase taxi fare for everyone to get home and in some cases that worked out better as we didnt have to stop anywhere.
