The Round Tower

Its most distinctive feature is the spiraling ramp that winds all the way to the top—built wide enough for a horse and carriage to ascend. The gentle climb rewards visitors with sweeping 360-degree views of the city’s red rooftops, church spires, and beyond to Øresund. Along the way, the tower hosts small exhibitions and a unique floating glass floor, offering a glimpse into the hollow core below. The structure remains a perfect blend of science, architecture, and history—testament to Denmark’s long tradition of curiosity and design. Visiting at sunset provides a magical panorama as Copenhagen glows in golden light.
