Good to Know

Accessibility

The Round Tower has many visitors. Please note that the tower has a maximum capacity for guests that our staff is required to comply with. During peak hours, queuing and periodic breaks in ticket sales may occur to manage guest flow, but the wait rarely exceeds more than 20 minutes.

The only way to the top of the Round Tower is through the ascending Spiral Ramp, which is approximately 200 metres in length. Where the Spiral Ramp ends it is followed by two sets of stairs: a wide wooden staircase and a smaller winding of stone leading up to the viewing platform.
Traffic to and from the top is regulated by a traffic light, which may cause queuing for a short amount of time.

Larger groups

Larger groups of 40 or more will not be admitted all at once but are requested to split up into smaller groups.

School classes and other institutions are requested to consult the page “For Schools” prior to their visit.

Wheelchairs and Disability Concession

There is no elevator in the Round Tower. Because of the staircases near the top, the tower is unfortunately not very accessible for visitors in wheelchairs. Exhibitions and other events in the Library Hall can be accessed, but please note that the incline makes it difficult for non-electrial wheelchairs to climb.

Guests with disabilities pay regular admission fee on equal terms with other visitors. If guests with disabilities depend on the aid of a caregiver, they can bring a caregiver/companion for free upon presentation of an officially issued companion card, whether Danish or foreign.

If you have any questions regarding the necessary documentation, please contact Rundetaarn before your visit on: post@rundetaarn.dk.

Guide dogs and service dogs are allowed.
