The local museum of the capital, Copenhagen City Museum, shows the history of Copenhagen from the Middle Ages to the present in a profusion of light and sound. A S ren Kierkegaard Room is an extra attraction at the museum. Czar Peter the Great of Russia did it already in 1716. Many had done it before him and even more have done it later. A 209 m long winding passage without steps leads to the top of the Round Tower , built by Christian IV in 1642.
Most visitors walk to the top.
The history of Copenhagen is closely connected with the Royal Family, who have resided in our city since 1416. In the heart of town stands Amalienborg Palace . When Queen Margrethe resides in the palace, her lifeguard performs the changing of the guard ceremony to music every day at 12 noon. This is a world class tourist attraction. But you could also visit the Royal Stables and Coaches at Christiansborg Palace.
