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.

What a great tour we had!! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed walking and chatting about the many different aspects of Copenhagen, including of course the famous "Hygge". We visited several places that are off the usual tourist trail and we also enjoyed tasting some typical Danish food and drink. I wish we had done the whole day tour as there is so much more to see. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about this capital city, its culture and traditions.
