Kunsthal Charlottenborg is included on both cards. Adult entry is €12 (90 DKK) without one. It closes between exhibitions, so check the dates before planning a visit.
Both cards cover full entry, and the venue lists the Copenhagen Card on its own admission page. The catch is not what is covered but whether it is open.
No permanent collection — a changing programme of large contemporary exhibitions in an 1880s academy building. Allow an hour, and expect something different every visit.
High-ceilinged rooms running the length of the building, built for the Royal Academy and now used for contemporary work at a scale most Copenhagen venues cannot handle. The space is a large part of the experience.
There is no permanent collection, so what is on is entirely down to when you come. That makes it a good repeat visit for anyone who lives here and a lottery for anyone who does not — check what is running before you go.
Entrances from both Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn, so it sits between the two most walked places in the city. Two minutes from the metro and directly on the route most visitors are already taking.
This venue has the most easily missed closure pattern of anything on the card. Confirmed against kunsthalcharlottenborg.dk.
Nyhavn 2, at the head of the canal. Two minutes from Kongens Nytorv, which every metro line reaches. Included on both cards.
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.
Contemporary exhibitions in a deconsecrated medieval church off Strøget, with work hung in the nave under the vaulting. The nearest thing to this venue in the city.
The private interiors of four generations of the Danish royal family, in one of the four palaces on the octagon. The guard arrives outside at noon.
Danish design from Klint and Juhl to Jacobsen and Panton, in a rococo former hospital on Bredgade. Thursday opening runs to 8pm.
Entry is €12 per adult (90 DKK) without a card — the cheapest of the central card museums. Both cards include it, along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport. Check what is running before you go.
Full entry is free on both the Discover and Hop cards, and the venue lists the Copenhagen Card as free admission on its own site. Adult entry without one is €12 (90 DKK) for ages 16 and over; students pay 50 DKK and under-16s are free.
Monday opening is seasonal: open every day from 29 June to 16 August, 11am to 7pm, and closed Mondays the rest of the year. The bigger risk is not Mondays but the closure periods between exhibitions — 17–26 August and 31 August to 25 September in 2026.
Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in. Check the programme first though — the venue closes entirely between exhibitions, which in 2026 covers most of September.
One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. Since there is no permanent collection and the exhibition changes completely between runs, a second visit on a later trip is a genuinely different experience.
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.
