So it's a round tower, you walk up it (a spiraling ramp). No displays or information along the way. Then you get to "top" and look out, and the views are nice, but not spectacular. The real top is the observatory, which is only open half the year at night. So you pay, walk up, look around for a few... more

Wonderful way to see Copenhagen. Nice to see copenhagen from above without having to climb stairs (the ramp is a nice, easy, fun way to climb a tower). The view puts everything into perspective. The rooms are interesting exhibits on your way to the top. Make sure to pop in and see the chuch attached to round tower - it's... more

A historic observatory and a great way to see the city. It's an easy climb thanks to the ramp. While you are there don't forget to look into the attached rooms - the loft and the exhibition room. Also stop in the attached church, quite impressive in it's own right. more

This is a fun and novel way view Copenhagen and easy for people who hate climbing steps as it is a brick, circular ramp that you walk up. With about 20 steps to the top. The views are good, as you are level with church spires and it gives a good way to get your barings of the city and... more

The Round tower is a must see. After being underwhelmed by the infamous girl on a stone statue that adornes all postacrds and toursit promo material, this almost hidden attraction was a total highlight. The tower which is connected to a Church (also worth visiting) offers great views from the top. As the tallest and highest buildings in Copenhagen are... more

Being Danish by birth right and having lived in England most of my life I have climed the Round Tower countless times on trips to Copenhagen with my family as a child. To think that doing this again would seem such a bore, but having not been to Copenhagen for such a long time, I now cannot wait to drag... more

I loved the round tower - especially the climb up the ramp to the top! Made a good change from stairs. The views are very good and you can see far. The church next to it is also worth looking inside, it looks dark on the outside but is light and airy inside. Well worth the visit! more

I went up the Rundetaarn at sunset on a cold January day and while I was a bit tired walking around and around the slope going up to the top - which means this attraction is good for those with bad knees, wheelchairs and baby carraiges - it was definately worth it. You get a 360 degree view of the... more
