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.

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

This museum is a perfect combination of art- but not just the art inside, but the building itself…read more Inside and out, it is an exhibition with equal level to the statues and exhibits inside. The ceilings especially, with no room the same, are bursting with colorful designs and patterns. Combine this with the floors, which are beautiful mosaics, you get an incredible atmosphere. Moving on from the building itself, the statues are all incredible. With an enormous array of art, it is hard to find something you don't like. Given, some are better than others (obviously), but I can assure you that you'll be able to learn a lot and see a lot walking around the building. Another thing to note is the personal collection of artifacts and books of the artist. It is filled with Greek and Roman pottery, coins, century-old books, and much more. This covers three or four rooms, and this is just as fascinating as the rest.

Staff are everywhere and they are friendly and helpful when needed. There is a locker room on the lower level and quite big too. Just try to go light or empty handed to avoid checkin and time.

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

As a result, Denmark has a very very small Jewish population today estimated at less than 6000. In this light, it was nice to see a Jewish museum and that the country spends a lot of money protecting it. (Heavily armed police sit outside in a car during the hours that it is opened watching everyone approaching the entrance.) It cost about $15 US to enter. You cannot take any bags with you on the tour. After you pay, they will take everything and place it into a locker and give you the key. Once you get inside, the museum is very quiet, serene, and lends itself towards meditation. The museum is small, has limited artifacts, and some of the visual screens were not working when I was there. It seems like the place needs an investment of capital or volunteer labor to keep it up. It did have some interesting pieces and a couple of introductory videos. It tells the story of Jews in Denmark. I was able to work my way through in 45 minutes seeing everything. They have a bathroom and gift shop. The people working there seemed to be Jewish college students attending school in Copenhagen. Interestingly, while I was there for about an hour, there were only about 5 other visitors and 2 of them were from Beverly Hills and Westwood--go figure. We ended up talking about the LA area with the Copenhagen employees. Now, the area with greenery and benches right outside the museum entrance is beautiful and a great place to sit or have a picnic lunch on a nice day. I would check it out if you are in the area.

Because we should never forget the horrors of the holocaust, I was drawn to this museum from…read morereading about the history of the Jews in Denmark on the plane to Copenhagen. The Danish Jewish Museum, a part of the Royal Library, sits off an austere somewhat hidden street, a passage. As you turn into the site, the property opens into a serene pond, a calm, reassuring peace takes over you.....you see a small nest in this pond, a symbol that yes, here too, you can. There's a beautiful ivied building (the library, HOME) and to its left, a somewhat discreet entrance to the main museum and the first words you read is Mitzvah. Chabad.org defines mitzvah as, "In common usage, a mitzvah often means "a good deed"--as in "Do a mitzvah and help Mrs. Goldstein with her packages." This usage is quite old--the Jerusalem Talmud commonly refers to any charitable act as "the mitzvah." It is this definition of mitzvah that swelled in my consciousness when I walked through the museum, its two collections: the artifacts and the Home (the Jewish experience after returning home from WWII). The Danes and the Swedes protected the Jews during WWII. The artifacts are classic immigrant symbols of survival, tradition and religion. The angled floors and walls remind one of how a passenger felt on the boat from Denmark to Sweden; the rocking sensation also symbolized the anxiety one felt when they arrived to their new home, a new country. The stories at HOME, were compelling. For their mitvahs, I am in awe of the Danish and Swedish people. Through this museum, I've seen tolerance, protection of human beings......chillingly admirable. Today many of us seek reparation for the wrongs committed in history. Destruction of a culture of people is wrong in every sense perceivable. We hope to get there. This museum is a symbol to the world of tolerance, protection and........ because we should never forget. Visits: 1 Tip: Use your Copenhagen card here and many other museums that are free with a card. Most museums close for lunch 12-1 and close at 4pm, check the websites.

As far as places to take kids to explore, every city has some variant of a kid's fun center…read more Sometimes, it's wrapped as purely as entertainment, which I'm not opposed, but as a parent, I would like just a little more. Others are wrapped as Science Centers, which as you expect, I'm more keen on. On our travels to Copenhagen, we had a day of free time, and with a kiddo, and snow coming down outside, our destination was... the Experimentarium. As a place that is designed for young minds, and to make learning entertaining, it's does it exactly that. There is a wonderful spiral staircase that takes you up to the various levels of exploration. Highlights include an interactive theater, where you get to move around in a story. Another is an oversized ball conveyer, which when you take your time to play with, gives you an opportunity to really delve into what it takes to move cargo around the world. Neat. On another floor, there is a wonderful food section, which talks about food, how it's made, farms, waste, and how we can do better. For the kiddos, there is a section that includes a bunch of activities with cameras that takes photos across the tasks, so you can bring the fun home. There are plenty of things for them to touch and play with across the entire center, including a Lego section, which makes sense, since Lego was founded in Denmark, and still headquartered. Worth it? Yup. Go again? Yup. Recommend? Yes.

You can bring outside food and drinks but you just can't drink it near the play areas. There is a cafe that serves burgers, fries, hot dogs and pastries. The seating area is big.
