This tower is full of surprises: astronomic exhibitions, cathedral hall, an observatory and scattered trinkets. I wish I could return there during the day.
Its not as hard as I thought to walk till the top. The view is amazing all around and its actually very organised the walking on the right side, waiting at the green light to climb outside. We liked ...
Loved the fact that the spiral to ascend the tower was a ramp and not stairs. Also love the system put in place to ensure the final ascent to the observation deck won't be crowded - the narrow stairwe...
Very much worth a visit! The building is very nice to look at, outside and especially inside. Staff is very friendly and enthousiastic (we had a lovely talk with Nina, not only about the tower but als...
When it comes to Copenhagen, I have to mention King Chris IV. The King of Christians in the European Renaissance has no place in the history of Denmark. His legacy for Copenhagen is everywhere. It is commendable. The
round tower is a masterpiece of the king. He was committed to turning the Danish capital, Copenhagen, into one of the most beautiful and important metropolises in the Nordic region. The
round tower was built between 1637 and 1642 and was built by Christine IV. It is the best view point to see the old town of Copenhagen. There is a unique spiral corridor in the tower, with a total length of 209 meters. It is surrounded by a hollow round tower and is half a circle and half. It passes straight to the top of the 34.8-meter-tall round tower. At the commanding height, you can see the ancient Latin area. The
round tower consists of two main parts: the round tower and the church bell tower. The round tower with its short shape is matched with the red-topped church bell tower, which is reported every other quarter of an hour. It complements each other and fully reflects the profound architectural accomplishments of King Christo IV.

Can overlook the entire Copenhagen City Round Tower, which is actually a slope?
As soon as you enter the round tower, there will be surprises! Because it is not a staircase, but a slope, because the king of the building tower wants his guests to ride on horseback, so it has always been the slopes! And the uneven bricks in Figure 2 record the footprints that the horse has stepped on!
The round tower is still very early in history, there is an observatory with fine observation data! There is also a museum inside the
round tower, which displays some special artworks and fossils.

Introduction
For an unparalleled view of Copenhagen, head to the peak of the Rundetorn, an old astronomical observatory constructed around 1640 under King Christian IV. The Round Tower, part of the Trinitatis Complex, includes a grand 7.5-turn helical corridor guiding visitors to its top, 34.8 meters high. The expansive view makes the Rundetorn one of the top locations in the city.

Fun site - be sure to stop and read each 'segment' of the walk. The Round Tower has a great view but it's history is more impressive.
Definitely worth going to. The price is a little steep for what it is, but you get some great views of Copenhagen when you are at the top.
Originally built as an observatory, this is one of the most visited sights in Copenhagen with good reason. The main feature is the incredible internal spiral ramp leading to the top, built so that horses could be ridden all the way to the top. The views once you reach the top across the city are worth the trek and each floor usually has an exhibition space or an arts and craft market.
Climb to the top for a rewarding panoramic view of Copenhagen! There is also a museum part way up filled with colorful artwork that's worth a visit.
Great view from the top over the whole city.Very nice!
