Item Description
Guided tour in the Round Tower, Copenhagen
The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642.
The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors have to climb the winding Spiral Walk. The 281 m long spiral ramp winds itself 7,3 times round. Halfway up the Round Tower, the first University Library was situated 1657 - 1861.
The Library was restored in 1987 and now serves as a popular gallery and concert venue.
From the platform on top of the tower, 34.8 m above the street, the visitor has a magnificent view of the old part of Copenhagen.
Here you find the oldest functioning astronomy observatory in Europe, used by the University of Copenhagen until 1861.
The present observetory is from 1929, and it contains a refracting telescope with 80–250 x magnification.

The guided tour will show you places not open to the public and will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Max 10 people. Date and time to be arranged with the guide and observator Erik Jensen.
