The outdoor staircase winds around the spire to the very top: the panorama over the harbour and the city is probably the most spectacular in Copenhagen. The church itself is free to visit, from 11:00 to 15:30.
Our tipThe tower closes in rain, snow or strong wind, and for the whole of January. Book online, and keep a fallback in mind in case the weather turns.
