Snabba fakta: A gently sloping corkscrew ramp winds around the hollow tower for about 210 meters, letting visitors reach the summit without climbing a single stair. Visitors step onto a circular viewing platform with sweeping city panoramas and a small seventeenth-century observatory that still hosts occasional public stargazing nights.
Höjdpunkter: Built for King Christian IV in 1642, the tower's 36-meter height is reached by a 210-meter spiral ramp that winds 7.5 turns, wide enough that in the 17th century horses and carts were driven to the top to move telescopes and books. At the summit the old observatory's wooden floor creaks underfoot and brass instruments glint in thin winter light, leaving a faint metallic tang and the soft echo of centuries of footsteps.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the ramp is long but gradual.
- Head to the rooftop terrace for uninterrupted skyline photos at golden hour.
- Visit the historic library hall on the way up for ornate interiors and quieter space.
- Avoid weekend midday crowds by arriving right at opening or late afternoon.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Copenhagen, Denmark, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
