A Renaissance castle built by King Christian IV in the early 1600s, in the King's Garden, Copenhagen's oldest park. Its rooms are full of royal treasures, and the basement treasury holds the Danish crown jewels and the regalia.


The gardens are free and a favourite picnic spot. Nearby are the National Gallery of Denmark and the Botanical Garden. Copenhagen's other highlights include the Round Tower, climbed by a spiral ramp, and Christiansborg Palace with its free tower.
