Rosenborg Castle is a short walk from Nørreport Station, Copenhagen’s hub for the Metro, S-trains, regional trains and city buses, so it is easy to fold into a day in the city without a car. Children and teenagers visit the castle free, but they still need a ticket, and every ticket comes with a set entry time. In peak season all the time slots sell out, so buy before you go rather than at the door.
The thing to plan around is what you carry. Pushchairs and prams stay at the entrance, carry cots and sleep carriers are not allowed either, and the castle recommends a baby sling instead. Backpacks are not permitted inside, though bags can go in the free cloakroom lockers. Food and drink stay outside too: there are picnic tables in the outdoor lunch area near the Castle Shop, and the shop sells coffee, drinks, water and sweets. Once you are in, you can stay until the museum closes.
