Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7. The Planetarium: shows the solar system I highly recommend visiting Rundetaarn. It is located in Norreport; beautiful shops and restaurants. Polse: best hot dogs are served in this truck outside tower Rundetaarn is located on: Kobmagergarde 52 A 1150 København K Denmark Check out Rundetaarn.dk for more info

I recommend taking a walking tour of Copenhagen first which will give you some quick highlights…read moreabout this tower, and then come visit this tower afterwards. Plan on taking a half day or maybe longer if you want to get into details since it closes at 5pm. This was known as the zero ground for accurately measuring Denmark, and even though you may think of this as just the tower, there is more attached to this above the Church. At the top, you have a great view of the surrounding area with highlights marked.

Well organized shop filled floor to ceiling with cool prints. One half of the shop contains prints…read morein various sizes and the other half contains originals. I love the focus on local artists and the large selection of styles. I like that it's has both relatively affordable items (A4 poster prints are 90kr) and expensive originals. The shop assistants are super friendly and helpful, and will find specific posters or different sizes for you. If you're in the shop, it's easiest to browse the two little "file boxes" of A4 posters. Many of the posters come in larger than A4 sizes, but it's just easiest to browse through the A4 size. Price for posters is by size, and you can also frames at the shop. Their website is great, and probably the easiest way to view their selection.

Yes, I finally found a shop that specialize in those map art works that are found in just about…read moreevery other cafe in Cph! The Copenhagians might be rolling their eyes over these and their frequency in every home/cafe/restaurant, but as a foreigner who is about to leave town for a while (yes, I cry myself to sleep every night because of this), I think they are great souvenirs! The prints/posters are maps of famous, big cities around the world, but most are from our very own Copenhagen. Either the city itself or of certain areas. Since I have lived in both Amager and Østerbro, I decided to get those two. The prints come in many different sizes and colors, and you can also get them in simple frames. The prices are also decent, I think. The woman working there was very patient with my trouble to make a decision about which color and frame to get, etc. Kudos! Design wise, I think the images are clean and elegant. They could hang in almost any home (maybe that's why they do). Upon buying, you get your posters in a fun packaging, also helping to make this an excellent gift for someone who have a special place in their heart for Cph, or perhaps Nørrebro?

Wonderful museum for all group types. It's free and it is very modern and beautiful layout…read more Plenty of art, abstract, drawing, sculptures and so forth. Different exhibits both permanent and rotation. Perfect for family outing. It's located next to the park so very beautiful view of it.

So...shamefully, I never intended to visit this museum during my visit. My mistake!…read more I happened to be in the general area, wanting to go to a specifically contemporary art museum that was *supposed* to be open but definitely was not. I was cranky about it, but just started heading back towards the city center on foot to see what the world might have in store for me. And what it had in store for me was all of the National Museums! Since I was planning on a museum any way, wanted to snag some WiFi, and it was included with my Copenhagen Card that expired that evening...I mean, why not check it out!? There was a great variety of artistic styles and time periods represented here. So, no matter what kind of art you like, you will find something that you enjoy here. I personally enjoy modern and contemporary art, and since I had been on the hunt for that earlier, that is where I focused my attention. They have a very nice contemporary collection. Visually appealing, colorful, and things I haven't seen before! I really enjoyed everything I got to see, both in the contemporary areas and the rest of the museum. And after wrapping up my art-ing, I got a bite to eat and a very good cup of coffee in the museum restaurant. I had a much nicer time here than I expected to, and should have had this on my must-see list earlier in my visit. Don't make my same mistake!
