Rundetårn (Round Tower)

Type: viewpoint / history

An astronomical tower built in 1642 during the reign of Christian IV, one of the oldest functional observatories in Europe. Instead of stairs, the tower features a spiral ramp 209 meters long, along which, according to legend, Peter the Great once rode on horseback. From the top, there is a magnificent view over the old parts of Copenhagen.
