CJcruzer Posted July 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2014 this will be our second visit to Copenhagen...we arrive on a Sunday and would like to visit a museum (especially if weather is not nice) we have toured Christianborg palace, and we plan to tour Rosenborg palace on the Monday, and do city walk - since museums are closed. On Tuesday we have an all day tour to Frederiksborg castle, Elsinore Casyle ( Hamlet) , Roskilde Cathedral, and Viking museum we have walked Stroget, seen Marble Church, little mermaid, etc. Tivoli we plan to visit at night with the lights. therefore on Sunday, choices would be: Amalianborg Castle tour ( 1 building, small museum) David Museum ( Islamic Art) Glyptotek - (sculptures, art) I was hoping maybe even to get 2 in.. what would you recommend, 1st choice, 2 nd choice... which is the most unique? We still want to go back to Nyhavn area, but that could be later after museums close thanks for any advice. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gdlamberth Posted July 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Two that we enjoyed were: The Danish Resistance Museum Carlsberg Brewery Museum The Resistance Museum is near the Mermaid statue and the Carlsberg Brewery is completely at the other end of town. The Brewery is more an exhibit with some old transport and delivery vehicles and has a great little gift shop and café. The Resistance Museum has some neat exhibits on the role the Danish Resistance played in WWII. Neither is what I'd categorize as a "must see" but both were fun and interesting.

the_princess Posted July 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The Resistance Museum is closed due to a big fire a few years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alebd Posted July 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2014 We enjoyed the National Museum. We went mainly to see the cross of Queen Dagmar as she was my grandmother's namesake. Even for a non-Dane, the exhibits are more interesting than you might think, with many artifacts from pre-history to more modern times. I believe it was free, and they have a good gift shop.

However, from what I have read, Amalianborg will not take that much time, so the National Museum might be a good fit with Amalianborg!

Yeah it will be rebuilt but there isn't an opening date yet. It was a big fire which burned down the building and damaged a lot of the things. Luckily they managed to save a lot as well. Is was one of my favourite museums in Cph so i'm looking forward to the reopening. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted July 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Its not possible to visit both Kronborg/Frederiksborg and Roskilde Cathedral/viking ship museum in one day. Instead you can do Frederiksborg, Kronborg and the maritime museum in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW Traveler Posted July 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Two additional ideas - the Royal Stables (near Nyhavn) which is larger than the London royal version and with an interesting museum, and the Danish Design Center near Tivoli. The Design Center has a great café with good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxbne Posted July 14, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The Glypothek is actually free on Sundays! We only spent about 30 minutes was there as we got there late, but it was a fun stop on our way to Tivoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
