Rosenborg Castle (also known as Rosenborg Slot) is a Renaissance castle in central Copenhagen, Denmark, at Øster Voldgade 4A. It is a compact, self-contained place to spend an hour or two, and it sits comfortably within a walk of the city's other sights.
What to expect
The castle is best known as the home of the Danish crown jewels and royal regalia. Visitors come to see these treasures, which give the building its character as a royal residence rather than a sprawling palace. The rooms are arranged to be explored at a relaxed pace, and the setting in the heart of the city makes it an easy addition to a day's sightseeing.
