CatMay 19, 2015Pay 40kr to climb the tower, some 398 steps about 90m to see and exclusive panoramic view of this rather low rise city. Good decent workout, and benches along the way to sit and rest if needed.

Amy MalespinNovember 7, 2014Climb to the top even if you're afraid of heights! It's totally worth the amazing views. Entry is included with the Copenhagen card so just do it.

Ea HansenJuly 2, 2024This is a landmark in Copenhagen and you can actually walk all the way to the top of the tower which we recommends for an amazing view of our city :)UpvoteDownvote
Jakub SMay 17, 2018Marvellous panoramic view, no high railings to hinder taking a great photo, last 150 steps are outside the tower! Watch out for the ringing bells :)Upvote1Downvote- Stepa MitakiSeptember 1, 2013Best experience in Copenhagen. Quite scary and you'll be awarded with an amazing view of the whole city. Entrance is 40DKK and it's worth every penny. Oh, and you can pay with a card.UpvoteDownvote
FossyNovember 2, 2014Great views! It's not as intimidating as it sounds. Some parts are narrow but overall really safe and enjoyable. Also great for the kids and older people.

QAugust 8, 2019Just be a bit patient, long queue will shade away in no time. Online tickets doesn’t help. A must visit attraction in Copenhagen.

Nur Öksüz AydınJune 2, 2017I'm in love with the architecture of its tower, also there was a great organ concert in the afternoon.Upvote1Downvote
Blessan MathewAugust 10, 2017The top of the tower gives a great view of Copenhagen. Climbing to the top via the narrow stairwell itself was pretty fun.
UpvoteDownvote- JoostDecember 7, 2018Visit the church for free or pay a small entrance fee to go up the tower for one of the best views of Copenhagen!UpvoteDownvote
Steven AndrophyAugust 23, 2013Ignore all the reports of the climb being scary! Once you get outside, the railing is shoulder height and you have a fantastic view of Copenhagen to distract any fears.Upvote1Downvote
Joe CooperAugust 30, 2015One of the best things to show visitors in Copenhagen. Amazing views from the top!UpvoteDownvote- Cyrielle LouiseMay 10, 2016Some 400 steps to clim to the top. The end in the spiral staircase outside it's not as scary as it sounds. Wonderful view on Copenhagen ❤Upvote1Downvote

Niklas SejrJuly 12, 2011This has got to be the scariest place in town. Once you've conquered your fear, however, the view over Copenhagen is just gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit — also for children.Upvote2Downvote

Nicholas WMay 30, 2013It's worth looking in the church to see the elephants and altar as well, not just climbing the tower.Upvote1Downvote
Kelly VergauwenMarch 26, 2019There was a queue to get to the top but the view was worth the wait!UpvoteDownvote
Lauren GilmoreSeptember 5, 2016For someone scared of heights, it's a simple trek up. But once you reach the outside, things can get a bit tight.UpvoteDownvote

Danae MichaelidouMarch 21, 2017If you're claustrophobic don't even try it.. Many and steep stairs inside a really small space as you climb up :(UpvoteDownvote
George MacDAugust 21, 2014We actually felt unsafe on the outdoor part of the stairs. Yes the view is good but be careful!UpvoteDownvote
- Shan BatesOctober 2, 2010400 steps to the top is worth the exhilarating view! If you don't have a credit card with pin code, it's best to bring cash.Upvote2Downvote
