To see an exhibit featuring a collection of Danish crown jewels and regalia, head to Rosenborg Castle, one of the country's finest examples of Renaissance architecture. Originally constructed as King Christian IV's country house in 1606, the structure underwent several major expansion projects through 1624. The elegant castle sits in the middle of one of the city's liveliest parks and serves as a royal history museum. In addition to the famous crown jewels, which are displayed in the catacombs beneath the castle, the museum collection also includes a coronation carpet and the throne chair of Denmark.

I wish I had known in advance what was in the basement. I would have organized my time differently and spent half of it there! Not that the rest of the castle is not worth the visit, but the regalia and the treasures are among the most beautiful items I've ever seen and no picture will ever do them justice. I'd go back just for the sake of admiring the emerald set again.

Wonderful place! Full of magic... you can see how in the past the Royals were used to live their luxury life and then the rooms of the Jewellery was so GORGEOUS! I couldn't stop taking pics. Highly recommended.
