As the title of this review suggests, an interesting climb and fantastic views at the viewing station 2/3rds of the way up and at the ‘top’. The stairs are on the interior for 2/3rds of the way up, then the outside (with handrails)! And u usually there is no space at the top, the stairs disappear into nothing but the top of the church. For the less fit, there are recessed areas and exhibits on the way up - ideal for taking a breather. Interior of the church worth a view

This church was a wonderful stop on a chilly February day. I hoped to climb the tower, but it was closed on my visit. The interior of the church is really beautiful and I enjoyed spending some time there enjoying the peace

This spiral stands out wherever you are in Copenhagen. The climb to to very top is a tough 400 steps and they are small wooden and very narrow steps, I would be very careful attempting this if you are scared of heights. Once at the top the views are worth every ache and pain - it was a bit windy on our day and so it was a bit scary on the top step ! Legs ached the next day for sure

Spectacular views from the top. No windows, no guard rails, etc. It was cold and windy on top, but sunny with great visibility. The outdoor spiral staircase was one of the highlights of my 6-day visit in Copenhagen. Hold on tight to your phone though and make sure you don't have any loose items hanging out. I was fortunate that the staircase reopened after the winter closure, so I was able to visit the day before my departure. The climb is about 450 steps with some steep stairs. There is also a room on the way up where you can watch an entertaining film on the history of the church and staircase. I visited in February and arrived at the church around 9:15 am. There were only two other couples there who didn't stay long so I had the stairs to myself. More people started showing up around 10. I highly recommend this place!

We went here on August 28,2022. Booking is done online and was very easy to do. Pick a day, a time, pay online and arrive at your time. The church is filled with numerous things to look at. There is a short video on the church that plays one in Danish then in English. So, if you look in on the video and hear Danish wait a couple of minutes and listen to English version. It is pretty interesting video. The height of his attraction (pun intended) is climbing the steeple on the exterior stairs. It is not a difficult climb, but it can be a little windy. Note: If you are afraid of height and / or have vertigo I would not climb the steeple. It is quite an impressive and intimidating view when you look down. We highly recommend visiting this church when in Copenhagen.

Firstly, the view from the top of the spire is wonderful with views stretching across Copenhagen. The reason though I can’t give this five stars is because of the access up to the spire. If you are scared of heights or claustrophobic this may not be for you and I’d suggest visiting one of the other towers in Copenhagen. The staircase up is narrow, old and made of wood with a lack of headroom. I suspect it’s the original staircase. There is also only one staircase so be prepared for close encounters with people going the opposite way or waits whilst people pass. The wooden staircase ends in what can only be thought of as a ladder through a trap door onto the spire. At least one person turned around on seeing this. Once on the spire it’s a little easier though the path gets narrower the closer you get to the top. Once at the top it’s a case of turning around and heading back with the ladder being a little trickier in reverse. If your up to a climb though it’s definitely worth your time. However I wish they’d implement a traffic light system like at the round house.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I came across this when doing some research beforehand and added it to our list of things to see/do. Climbing to the top was tiring but so worth it, got some great pics. Well worth the money we paid, would recommend.

We had fabulous weather for our trip up to the top of this church. It is a twisty, turny wooden staircase and then you reach a viewing platform before the final ascent around the spire. Amazing thing to do. There are not too many steps, and for someone unfit, like me, it was perfectly manageable. Beware, though, because outside there is definitely movement when you’re climbing the stairs!

We booked online before we arrived which meant we could by-pass the queue of people booking online outside. The climb up is hard work and you would need a reasonable level of fitness to be able to do it. There are stopping places on the way up but these are small so you can’t wait too long. The last third of the climb is outside which is a bit more scary (for me who doesn’t like heights) especially as it was very windy. However the steps outside are more even and not as steep as the wooden ones inside the tower, and there are high railings surrounding the steps. There isn’t much space right at the top so we just turned round and returned to the previous platform to take photos.

It was a rainy day in Copenhagen so we were lucky this was open. It closes in rain and we can see why. The church is lovely but everyone is there to walk up the spiral staircase on the outside of the spire. This must be slippery when wet! Booking online is necessary - you get a half an hour slot in an attempt to ensure that people go up and come down at the same time. It only works if people are on time though! The climb up inside the structure is via stairs then wooden ladder-type stairs - Signs to Mind your Head are well placed. You then emerge onto a viewing platform (not screened in like the one on the Round Tower) and have amazing views in all directions with helpful labelled pictures to identify the many iconic buildings around. From here you climb the spiral steps around the spire with not much more than a handrail for safety! People go up and down the same way. We loved it but were the last of our half hour slot group to go up, and by the time we came down the next slot were on their way up. The viewing platform became quite busy with everyone arriving and we had to wait for a gap to go down. A lot of stairs and a head for heights essential but definitely well worth it!
