The Danish War Museum is included on both cards. Adult entry is €17 (130 DKK) without one. It opens daily from June to September and closes Mondays the rest of the year.
The museum states that entry is free with a Copenhagen Card of any duration. The CSV records it as Discover only.
Christian IV's arsenal of 1604, still the building it was built as. Allow an hour and a half; the ground floor alone justifies the visit.
A 156-metre brick-vaulted hall running the full length of the building, with cannon down both sides in the order they were made. It is the longest vaulted Renaissance hall of its kind in Europe and the reason to come.
Four hundred years of Danish military history above the cannon hall, from the wars with Sweden through the 1864 defeat to Denmark's modern deployments. Thorough rather than triumphal.
Small arms, armour and uniforms in cases dense enough to be worth slowing down for. This is a collection assembled by an actual arsenal rather than by curators buying at auction.
One access limitation to know before you travel, and a Monday rule that works in your favour in summer. Confirmed against krigsmuseet.dk.
Tøjhusgade on Slotsholmen, behind the Royal Library. The Discover card covers the journey; the Hop card covers neither journey nor entry.
It covers Danish War Museum along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.
Only going here? The card pays for itself across several attractions, not one. If Danish War Museum is the only thing on your list, a single ticket is the cheaper buy.
All three are included on the same card, so the only cost of adding them is the time. For the full list, see every attraction the Copenhagen Card covers.
Denmark's oldest museum, built around Bertel Thorvaldsen's own collection, with painted ceilings and the sculptor buried in the courtyard.
The state rooms still used by the Royal Family, on the same island. The Tower beside them is free to everyone, card or not.
The Royal Danish Library extension on the waterfront, clad in black granite that reflects the harbour. The atrium is worth the detour on its own.
Entry is €17 per adult (130 DKK) without a card. The Discover card includes it, along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport across the Capital Region.
Entry is free with a Copenhagen Card, which the museum states applies to a card of any duration — scan at the main counter. The card data records it as Discover only. Adult admission without a card is €17 (130 DKK), with 10% off online.
Monday opening is seasonal: the museum opens every day from June to September and closes on Mondays from October to May. Thorvaldsens Museum nearby closes Mondays all year, so in winter this corner of Slotsholmen has no Monday option.
Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the main counter and go in — no timed entry and no pre-registration. Worth knowing separately: there is no elevator, so the first floor is not step-free.
One scan per attraction is the rule on every card type, so Danish War Museum can be visited once. Leaving and coming back the same day means buying a separate ticket at the door. Plan the visit as a single stretch rather than splitting it across a day.
Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
