The museum is beautiful and very interesting. The staff is not so polite.

A great museum full of interesting archaeological items. Their coin collection was outstanding as were their sculptures. I also enjoyed the icons and paintings as well. It was very affordable and I had the place all to myself at this time of year, 3 weeks ago. My only complaint would be that some of the lights were not on during my visit so I couldn't see a lot of the coins and smaller objects very well. This is the reason for four stars. You can take pictures but no flash.

You absolutely have to go here if you are staying in sunny beach if you want a day of history and culture. Want an amazing story this place has going back millennia! Probably best to get the boat here, but the train is also fun.

A must-visit place in the old town of Nessebar. The museum contains various ancient artifacts typical for the region from different ages. There is a collection of Orthodox Christian icons in the basement. Despite the reputation of Sunny beach, it looks like local people prefer the idea for cultural tourism and put efforts to maintain well and develop this as well as other smaller museums in the old town.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
