Step down into the depths beneath Christiansborg Palace for a guided journey through the ruins of Absalon's fortress and Copenhagen Castle. The tour takes you past the remains of the old service buildings, three wells, and the ruin of the Baker's Tower, which once doubled as a powder tower.
The walk ends at the Blue Tower, a notorious prison, where you will hear about the dark, damp dungeons and about Leonora Christina, the king's daughter who was held prisoner there for almost 22 years. The story of the castle's turbulent history, from the Hanseatic attack in 1368 to Christian VI's baroque palace, runs through the whole tour.
