An Easter holiday with the Round Tower, Experimentarium and Nyhavn

There are so many possibilities in a city like Copenhagen. Sometimes you’re tempted by current exhibitions and events, and sometimes it’s the key attractions that the city is known for that you want to visit.

The Round Tower for all ages

Who built the Round Tower? The Round Tower was built by Christian IV and was completed in 1642. Where is the Round Tower? The Round Tower is located in the centre of Copenhagen – on Købmagergade. How high is the Round Tower? The Round Tower is 41.55 metres high with a 209-metre-long spiral ramp on the inside. The Round Tower is one of Copenhagen’s most popular attractions. This is due both to the long history the tower brings with it and the wealth of exhibitions and events that are held at the top. When was the last time you were up in the Round Tower? Visit the tower during the Easter holiday and combine the trip with some shopping on the streets nearby.

Experience Experimentarium during your Easter holiday

The place where you are encouraged to play and learn, and where both adults and children can join in. Experimentarium offers great entertainment and activities for the whole family.

Nyhavn’s unique charm

When the weather is good, Nyhavn is a very popular place. It's great for enjoying good food and watching all the different people who pass by – both tourists and local Copenhageners. Nyhavn is a harbour area and one of the city’s most popular tourist areas. The atmosphere is usually lively and cosy, with a completely unique and indescribable charm. Head to Nyhavn and experience the vibrant city this Easter while you eat a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants.

Use the hotel as your base during the Easter holiday while you explore the streets of Copenhagen.
