Lonely Planet review

The grandest part of Christiansborg Slot is De Kongelige Repræsentationslokaler, an ornate Renaissance hall where the queen holds royal banquets and entertains heads of state.

Of particular note are the very colourful (almost cartoonish) wall tapestries depicting the history of Denmark from Viking times to the present day. Created by tapestry designer Bjørn Nørgaard, the tapestries took a full 10 years (until 2000) to complete. Pay particular attention to include the Adam and Eve-style representation of the queen and her husband (albeit clothed) in a Danish Garden of Eden.
