Grand city hall featuring world's most accurate clock
"Completed in 1905 and serving as the city’s main council chambers ever since, this grand city hall was inspired by Romantic-style Italian town halls; its detailed interior rewards close inspection, and once-daily guided tours (except Sundays) offer insight into its history and the workings of the council." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
"World's Most Precise Mechanical Clock One thing you won't hear talked about much is that Copenhagen serves as the home of the world's most accurate mechanical clock. This differs from the world's most accurate clock overall which is atomic and not based in Denmark. The clock is on display just inside city hall and open to the public. Built by Jens Olsen the clock is re-wound once a week, has the slowest turning gear in the world, and is gilded with four kilos of gold. It was first started in 1955 and also displays the location of the planets as well as the stars above city hall."

"Acts as a major landmark packed with Danish history and symbolism, capped by a prominent tower that adds to its civic presence." - RICKSTEVES
