The headline sights and what they cost without the card

Adult prices in DKK. Most of these museums are free for visitors under 18, which is why the card pays off mainly through adults.

Attraction and tourist-board prices, November 2026; Christiansborg, Zoo and Viking Ship Museum from the operator's savings calculator.

Royal Copenhagen

Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels and the regalia in its basement treasury, and the rooms above show four centuries of royal taste. With the card you collect a same-day time slot at the castle, so go early in summer. Christiansborg Palace is split into several attractions, all included: the Royal Reception Rooms, the ruins under the palace, the Royal Stables and the Royal Kitchen. Together they are worth around DKK 335 at normal prices, which on its own is more than half of a 24-hour card. The Amalienborg Museum inside the royal residence completes the set.

Museums in the centre

The National Museum covers Danish history from the Stone Age and the Vikings onwards and is closed on Mondays. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is known for its winter garden, ancient sculpture and French paintings; it is free for everyone on the last Wednesday of each month, so do not waste a card visit there that day. Also included are SMK, the National Gallery of Denmark, Design Museum Denmark, Thorvaldsens Museum, the Danish Architecture Center, the Museum of Danish Resistance, the Workers Museum, the Hirschsprung Collection and the Danish Jewish Museum.

Fun, family and boats

Tivoli Gardens is included for one entry, with same-day re-entry if you get a stamp at the main entrance. Rides cost extra. The Copenhagen Zoo, Experimentarium, the Planetarium, the Museum of Illusions, Guinness World Records and Ripley's are also on the list. On the water, the one-hour Stromma canal tour is included from Ved Stranden, and on DISCOVER so are GoBoat self-drive boats and Baadfarten tours.

Out of town, DISCOVER only

This is where DISCOVER beats HOP. Kronborg in Helsingør, Hamlet's castle, sits at the narrowest point of the Øresund. Louisiana in Humlebæk combines modern art with a sculpture park above the sea. Frederiksborg in Hillerød is a Renaissance palace on three islands in a lake and is open every day, including Mondays. Roskilde adds the Viking Ship Museum and the cathedral, and ARKEN, the Karen Blixen Museum and Lejre Land of Legends are on the list too. The train fares to all of them are covered.

Booking rules

Home of Carlsberg needs a booking with your card number, which you only see after activation, so book on the morning you start. The Church of Our Saviour tower also needs a booking. Rosenborg hands out same-day time slots at the castle. For the canal tour you can reserve a departure at the Ved Stranden box office. Prices compared with the City Pass are on our comparison page.
