Thorvaldsens Museum is included on both cards. Adult entry is €15 (110 DKK) without one, and it is closed on Mondays. The same ticket also covers two other card venues.
Both cards cover full entry. As at the Museum of Copenhagen, the paid ticket stretches further than one building.
Denmark's oldest museum, opened in 1848 and built around one sculptor's work and his own collection. An hour is enough, and the building is half of it.
Ochre outside, and inside a run of small vaulted rooms with painted ceilings and coloured walls, each designed around the piece it holds. It was purpose-built as a museum in the 1840s and is a rare survival of what that meant.
Thorvaldsen's finished marbles alongside the full-size plaster models they were carved from, which is the part most visitors do not expect — you see the method as well as the result.
Thorvaldsen is buried in the middle of his own museum, under a plain ivy-covered slab in the central courtyard. There is nothing else quite like it in Copenhagen.
Two things are worth knowing here: what else the ticket covers, and which days it costs nothing at all. Confirmed against thorvaldsensmuseum.dk.
Slotsholmen, three minutes from Gammel Strand on the M3. 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.
The state rooms still used by the Royal Family, with Bjørn Nørgaard's tapestries in the Great Hall and the Throne Room balcony.
Denmark's military history in Christian IV's arsenal, with a 156-metre vaulted hall of cannon running its whole length.
The city's own story from the medieval settlement to now, including finds pulled out of the ground during the metro excavations.
Entry is €15 per adult (110 DKK) without a card, and that ticket also covers the Museum of Copenhagen and Nikolaj Kunsthal for 48 hours. Both cards include all three, along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport.
Full entry is free on both the Discover and Hop cards. Adult admission without one is €15 (110 DKK) — and the same ticket admits you to the Museum of Copenhagen and Nikolaj Kunsthal for 48 hours, so the three are one purchase.
Thorvaldsens Museum closes every Monday, all year, and opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm. It also shuts on 24, 25 and 31 December and on 1 January. Entry is free to everyone on the last Wednesday of the month.
Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in — there is no timed entry. That makes it a dependable substitute if Christiansborg next door has closed at short notice for a royal event.
One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. The Museum of Copenhagen and Nikolaj Kunsthal count as their own attractions and their own scans, even though a paying visitor covers all three with one ticket.
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.
