Scandinavia Day 15 - Morning in Copenhagen, Heading Home

August 30, 2026  •  1 Comment

We packed out suitcases, checked out of the hotel, grabbed breakfast at another excellent bakery, and then headed to the Rundetaarn (the Round Tower), a 17th century structure built as an astronomical observatory.


The most special thing about it is its equestrian staircase, which is actually not a staircase at all, but a 7.5-turn helical corridor and ramp. They say this allowed one to ascend the tower on horseback

 
  


to the platform at the top,
  

and its towering views over Copenhagen.
   


 
 

It was such an interesting and beautiful building...we were glad we got to check it out before leaving Copenhagen. Thereafter, our trip had to come to an end. We drove to the airport and said goodbye to Scandinavia. It was truly an epic trip.
