Visual Studio Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio
One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs. http://dailydotnettips.com/2016/01/21/persevering-and-separating-the-pinned-tabs-in-visual-studio/
If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.
Solution 2 - Visual Studio
Maybe it's not exactly what you search, but here is a way to at least get a second row for pinned tabs.
Effectively get you more space for opened files:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
Solution 3 - Visual Studio
Visual Studio has this extension taken from msdn.microsoft.com tested and worked
Simple installation: download, doubleclick to install, restart VS IDE. Then open all the tabs you want they all will be displayed and No hidden.

Solution 4 - Visual Studio
It's worth noting that starting in VS 2019 v16.4, you can now have "vertical tabs" which will list all open tabs vertically, making it easy to see all open files.
Solution 5 - Visual Studio
For Visual Studio Code
If you want to see all the opened tabs,
you can simply on wrap tabs
option in the VS Code settings
settings > User > Workbench > Editor > Wrap Tabs
