The Round Tower

The Round Tower The 17th century tower and observatory Rundetaarn, or the round tower, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe. When Christian IV built the tower, Denmark was quite famous for its astronomical achievements thanks to the astronomer Tycho Brahe. When he died in 1601, the King wished to continue Brahe's research, and thus the round tower came into being. It has been a while since the scientists left, but the observatory is still used by amateur astronomers and the many visitors. The observatory is encircled by an outdoor platform from which you have a magnificent view of the old part of Copenhagen. Read less

The foundation stone was laid by King Frederik VI in 1817, and the solemn consecration took place on Whitsunday 1829. However, the site of the present cathedral has housed a church ever since Bishop Absalon, the founder of Copenhagen, had a small chapel built on the premises. The original church was erected at the highest point in the town around 1200.

In one hour covered a lot of territory. Good guide and information. Boat clean and on time and I preferred no cover as photos are better.

Alex was a fabulous guide-knew a lot of history of Copenhagen. Three hours was just enough - and the perfect ending was seeing the royal Guard do their daily performance. Saw quite a bit during the tour with great ideas for more to do afterwards. Thanks Alex!

Our guide, Daniele, did a great job showing us around Copenhagen! We saw all the highlights but I loved how he took us down smaller roads and alleyways and into smaller squares to get a less “tourist” vibe of the city. His commentary was very interesting. Would highly recommend.
