Have visited the Royal Reception Rooms in Christiansborg Palace (Danish: Christiansburg Slot) on a winter rainy day. There are total 19 rooms and each room has its specific functions. For example, the Green room next to the Great Hall is a back-stage area used by journalists or musicians to report or perform in special events.

The Royal Reception Rooms at Christiansborg Palace[1] are located on the ground floor and first floor in the northern half of the palace. The Rooms are used for official functions of the monarch such as banquets, state dinners, the New Year's levée, diplomatic accreditations, audiences and meetings of the council of state.

The Reception Rooms are richly adorned with furniture and works of art, as well as decorations by some of the best Danish artists, such as Nikolaj Abraham Abildgaard, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Laurits Tuxen, Joakim Skovgaard and Bjørn Nørgaard.

The most magnificent room belongs to the Great Hall where banquets were set up for special visitors and royal family.

The Great Hall is the largest and most spectacular of the Royal Reception Rooms. The Hall is 40 meters long with a ceiling height of 10 meters, and a gallery runs all the way around the room. The Hall seats 400 guests and is used for banquets, state dinners and receptions.

When you visit Royal Reception Rooms, don't forget to download the audio guide from Useeum to your phone and listen to it during the visit.
