The Christiansborg's Tower

The most beautiful 360 views of Copenhagen and best of all it’s free! If there’s a line please just stand in it and wait, it goes by fast! It’s a must do!

Free and amazing. Go after 6pm to avoid long lines. Security like airports. Very friendly staff. Amazing views. Check in the sculptures on the ground floor as well. At 106 meters, it is Copenhagen's highest tower. The tower was built as part of the third and current Christiansborg Palace, constructed between 1907 and 1928. The tower's viewing platform, called "The View" (Udsigten), is open to visitors and offers panoramic views of Copenhagen from 44 meters above ground.

Beautiful views for free? Yes, please! The tower is part of a large museum, but visitors can ascend to the top of the tower at no cost. Follow the signs underneath the tower to find the waiting queue. Visitors often report a 30-60 minute (a fair caveat for a free attraction)—we visited in the late afternoon on a weekday and only experienced a 15 minute wait. The journey will include two elevators and a few stairs. Wonderful view from the top on all four sides.

Christianborg Palace has luxury restaurants on its lower floors. It's a building with a beautifully preserved historical texture. You can climb the tower and enjoy the city view, but it's not very good. You can go up there for free, and you can use an elevator.

The tower at Christiansborg offers a beautiful view over Copenhagen. It’s an enjoyable trip up, and definitely worth it. There’s airport-style security before going up, which makes sense considering it’s also home to parts of the Danish government. The tower visit was included in our reservation at the restaurant, which was a lovely dining experience with an elegant and antique atmosphere. If you're on a budget, the restaurant might be something to skip, but if not, it's a great way to make the most of the visit.

Free and amazing two elevator trip to the top of the highest tower in Copenhagen.

The tower has free entry, but the queues to get in are very long. They have to limit the number of people, so you need to wait for enough of the last batch to come back down. You go through airport style security when you first enter the building. You can request a pat down if you have medical equipment that can not go through a scanner. There are lifts all the way to the top. The first lift holds eight people, and the second holds six. As they had let around twenty-three people in, this meant more waiting. There are also some sculptures that you can view before going out to the viewing area. The views are okay. You can see quite far. The fencing is quite high, so it can be difficult to get pictures if you are short. The tower is fully accessible to people who use a wheelchair. You can borrow a wheelchair for free.

It offers one of the best viewing spots of the whole city for free. Yes, you'll probably need to face a queue at the entrance but you shouldn't have to wait that long. You can even see parts of Malmö from here
