Versailles or Frederiksborg? A Palace Dilemma
I absolutely adore European palaces, but let's be honest, the famous ones are usually swarming with crowds. It's hard to soak in that royal ambiance when you're shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone else.
Frederiksborg Palace: A Royal Escape in Denmark
If you're venturing to Denmark and craving that palace experience without the overwhelming crowds or the sheer scale of a place like Versailles, Frederiksborg Palace is your answer.
- Tranquility: It's incredibly peaceful! You might only encounter a handful of other visitors, giving you plenty of space to explore and pose for photos without bumping into anyone.
- Affordable Elegance: The entrance fee is quite reasonable, around 100-150 Krone.
- Stunning Architecture: The architecture and overall feel are just as impressive as those found in France or Italy. The stunning buildings are a feast for the eyes.
- Free Gardens: The palace boasts beautiful gardens that are free to explore. Whether it's autumn or summer, a stroll through these grounds is an experience in itself.
Getting There
Grab a Copenhagen Day Pass that includes Greater Copenhagen travel. Take the train to Hillerod station, then it's a leisurely 10-minute walk to the castle. It's an easy journey!
I visited in the autumn, with the perfect crisp, cool air. It felt like I had the entire palace to myself!
