Full description

The National Museum of Denmark occupies an 18th-century mansion in central Copenhagen and guides visitors through Danish history from the first settlers to the 20th century. Its Viking exhibits draw particular praise, and reviewers note that it does not shy away from the uncomfortable parts of the national story.

The sheer variety of themes and objects keeps visitors busy for hours, and it works well for families. Allow around two hours, and more if you want to see everything.
