Rundetarn

The Round Tower Lookout Tower – Observatory – Exhibitions – Concerts.One of the best-known and most popular structures in Denmark, the Round Tower has been a distinctive feature of the Copenhagen skyline since 1642. The Tower once soared far above the rest of the rooftops in the city, and University astronomers studied the stars and planets from the Observatory at the top. The scholars may have forsaken the building a long time ago, but during the winter visitors are still able to gaze at the cosmos from Europe's oldest functioning observatory. The platform that runs around the outside of the Observatory affords views over the old Latin Quarter – from here, you can spot most of the city's famous buildings. The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors have to climb the winding, white-washed Spiral Walk, where kids often hide in the niches, only to jump out shouting “boo!” as adults approach. Halfway up the tower is the entrance to the large and stunningly beautiful Library Hall, which now serves as a popular gallery and concert venue. It hosts several exhibitions a year, and stages concerts almost every week. Above the Library is the Bell Loft, notable for its enormous wooden beams, which were used in the reconstruction of the Tower following the great fire of Copenhagen in 1728. The Loft is also home to a small exhibition of fascinating artefacts from the Tower's history, including Christian IV's wax seal, a tin of medicine produced by Tycho Brahe, and a piece of the bomb that exploded in the Library Hall during the bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807.The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which combined church, library and observatory in a single building.

As expected, a great view from the top. On the way up you can stop off at an art exhibition and the obligatory shop (couldn’t resist buying a pencil with a gold crown in the top). Fab little alcoves on the way up and at one stop you can look through a glass floor with a view right to the bottom. Very interesting and a must see - very inexpensive.

Tarnet

The tower of Christiansborg houses two attractions: The view from the top floor (no admission fee) and the restaurant on the floor directly below it. The restaurant in the tower of Christiansborg is the only restaurant in Christiansborg open to the public. The menu changes with the season, but is always designed to give visitors a taste of Danish food culture, produce and traditions. The restaurant is driven by Rasmus Bo Bojesen, who is also behind the restaurant in the Opera.

We had a conference dinner arranged at Restaurant Tårnet. Excellent 3 course set meal with matching wine. Lovely interior - with very high ceilings as you are right within the tower building. Service was superb and very professional. This is an excellent venue for a business dinner. As you are inside the danish Parlament building there is some extra security.
