Plan your visit
Marienlyst Palace is a historic pleasure palace by Øresund and a vibrant place with exhibitions, experiences, events, and the King's Kitchen.
Here you will find the most important practical information so you can plan your visit to the palace.
As Marienlyst Palace also hosts meetings, parties, and private events, there may be certain days when the palace is completely or partially closed to regular guests. We therefore recommend that you always check the current opening hours before your visit.

The King's Kitchen
The King's Kitchen is open to everyone, whether you are visiting the palace, taking a stroll in the garden, or simply want to stop by for coffee, brunch, lunch, or homemade cake.
When the weather permits, you can also enjoy your meal in the garden with the palace and historic surroundings as a backdrop.
You are welcome to stop by. If you want to be sure of a table, we recommend that you book by phone at +45 28 60 56 86.

Experience the King's Rooms
The historic King's Rooms on the 2nd floor host guided tours, lectures, meetings, parties, and special events, and are therefore not part of general access to the palace.
You can experience the rooms during selected guided tours and special events.
If you are a larger group, we are also happy to arrange a special guided tour by appointment.
If you visit Marienlyst Palace in connection with a meeting, conference, or business event, a guided tour can also be part of your day at the palace. The same applies to parties and private gatherings, where we are happy to help arrange an itinerary that combines the historic setting with the story of the palace.
