Guidelines for private guides

Authorized tourist guides are welcome to lead groups at the Danish War Museum.

We recommend that groups report their arrival to the Booking Office before the visit.

For a fee to open the museum, it is also possible to visit the museum with groups outside of regular opening hours. Here, reservation is mandatory.

Time can be reserved at: [email protected] or by phone +45 4120 6080.

Before Visiting

Bus parking: Drop-off and boarding can be done in front of the museum's main entrance at Tøjhusgade 3.

The guide must pay special attention to cyclists when guests are getting off the bus. For boarding and disembarking at official tourist bus spots, refer to parking at Christiansborg Palace Square.

Before entering, the guide must inform the group about the rules and practical matters, including that it is possible to pay with € and $ in the museum shop; however, only with banknotes, NOT coins, and change will be given in Danish kroner.

During the museum's opening hours, groups have access through Tøjhusgade 3 or Søren Kierkegaards Plads, unless otherwise agreed.

Outside of opening hours, groups have access via Tøjhusgade 3, unless otherwise agreed.
