View from the Rundetaarn, Copenhagen

Every time I make a trip to the Nordic/ Scandinavian countries I am never disappointed. On my recent stay in Copenhagen, I unsurprisingly found myself looking for jobs that would allow me to stay in the gorgeous town indefinitely. It's impossible not to fall in love with this city.
One of my favorite stops was the Rundetaarn. Luckily we stayed across the road, and it was fairly impossible to miss, but this unsuspecting tower in the heart of the city is one of the best-known structures in Denmark. Since 1642 people have been visiting to enjoy the incredible view from above. A number of lofts along the way up make the tower a great spot to visit and learn about the history of Copenhagen. Their is a Library Hall which once served as the university library, and now hosts a number of exhibitions. When I visited it was an exhibition of tattoos.
The building unsurprisingly seems to be an extension of this part of the city. It was designed y King Christian IV himself, and the interior spiral ramp is equally as timeless. The tower is open to all 362 days a year which makes it a staple for those visiting the city. Even if you don't plan on staying long, it's worth it for the view alone.
