Royal Danish Naval Museum

Overview
Experience Denmark’s unique naval history museum with its fleet of ship models and other fascinating exhibits charting the history of Danish naval artillery, dramatic battles at sea with exploding cannons, and Copenhagen as an esteemed naval city.

You can admire armed sailing ships with proud figureheads, conjuring up perilous sea battles between daring pirates and heroic admirals. And don’t miss the Spækhuggeren (‘The Killer Whale’) submarine, where you can experience the claustrophobia of the 33 men on board sailing for months without a single glimpse of dry land.

You’re welcome to eat a packed lunch in the museum’s Cannon Cellar, unless we’re hosting a special event.

When you visit The Royal Danish Naval Museum you enter a military area. Don’t be afraid if it looks like a no-entry zone – it’s not!
