The path to the top of the tower uses a sloped ramp in place of stairs, making for a highly unusual climb and fun experience. The top of the tower has a large viewing platform on it which allows scenic views of central Copenhagen. While not regularly available and subject to Denmark's turbulent weather, each winter when the nights are long and the skies clear, they open the observatory atop the tower to the public for limited evening viewings.

In Copenhagen's case, there are actually four distinct buildings that surround a large central square. Why four? Apparently, because it was originally inhabited by four noble families. Only, when Christiansborg Palace burnt down in 1794, the royal family needed a new place to live. For the king and queen, it wouldn't do to live in the same palace lesser nobility had previous inhabited. The solution? Acquire all four noble houses and turn them into a super-palace. While the Queen still uses some of the buildings as her winter residence, others are open to the public or converted into a museum. This is also a fantastic spot to see the changing of the guard, and for a slice of history head to the corner facing the fountain (and opera house). Looking back into the square, you'll see a small patch of damaged stucco. That patch is an un-repaired piece of the palace that illustrates blast damage from WWII.

It is a popular tourist attraction, but also beloved by locals who head here as soon as the weather turns warm. Fun fact: In old days, Nyhavn was a place for sailors coming to Copenhagen, and the port was split in two parts - one naughty, and one nice.
