Climbing up the spire of this church is definitely not for the faint of heart, nor those who are claustrophobic. It's a long way up, about 40 floors of steep, tight, busy stairs. But the reward of the view at the top makes it worthwhile!

The church was recently renovated and is beautiful. Not as overly ornate as others and makes it much nicer to me. The tower climb was great. The last section, outside on the spiral tower was the easiest part. Inside with the steep stairs and narrow treads was a challenge, so don't quit, you'll miss a great view if it's a... More

The interior of the church is unique. Notice the elephants holding up the organ - beautiful! The tower is unusual with stairs going round on our outside. The view on top spectacular!

We didn’t pay to go up the stairs – it’s pretty enough just to take a great photo from the outside. It was quite busy when went any way and we didn’t feel like going up quite narrow stairs with a lot of people! It’s on the Christrianharvn island not far at all from the main bridge. We actually just... More

We decided to make the climb to the top of the Church, as it was so picturesque and we were told we could get great views of the city, even to Sweden. The climb up within the church itself can be tricky - on the weekend we went, it was extremely crowded. Often we had to queue up to wait... More

A bit of effort required to climb the stairs to the top (and co-ordinate with the people trying to come down them) but well worth the effort to see both the inside of the tower and then climb the spiral outside. The views were great and we could see as far as Sweden. Stairs are steep in places - not... More

The untouched staircase inside the church is a great way to get to the spiral staircase on the outside of the pint of the church. The 360 views of Copenhagen are amazing and you could spend a long time up the top just gazing at the city. Malmo is also visible from the top so choose a clear day. The... More

Well worth the climb! A must see in Copenhagen and very close to other attractions such as Christiana and canal tours.

We had rough luck to choose a day when there was a wedding on so didnt get to explore as much as we would have liked. It was also very busy and trying to access to go up to the top with a push chair was a bit tricky so we decided not to, thats not to say there is... More

My boyfriend and I got a student discount on climbing this tower, and it was definitely worth climbing the 400 odd steps to the top of the 95m tower. On a clear sunny day as it was, the view was stunning and you could see right across the city centre. I would definitely recommend climbing this tower as opposed to... More
