Copenhagen Sights

  1. Rådhuset

    This sturdy, national romantic-style town hall is the centre of political power in the city. On the right as you enter is a unique clock, the Verdensur, designed by the Danish astro-mechanic Jens Olsen and built in 1955 at a cost of around kr1000000 . It displays not only the time locally but also things like the solar time, sunrises and sunsets and even the Gregorian calendar. You can also climb the town hall tower for a great view of the city.

  2. Slotsholmen

    Slotsholmen is the seat of national government and a veritable repository of historical sites. Located on a small island and separated from the city centre by a moat-like canal, Slotsholmen's centrepiece is Christiansborg Slot, a large palace that is home to Folketinget (the Danish parliament) and various government offices.
