COSMOS – Astro Festival in the Round Tower

Between February 7 and March 21, Rundetaarn invites you to an astro festival in Christian IV’s stargazing tower on Købmagergade. Framed by an exhibition featuring spectacular photos by one of Denmark’s best astrophotographers, the program also includes scientific talks in Danish, concerts, special events, and other stellar moments for both children and adults.

Visit the Observatory
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 6–9PM

Join our astronomers for a night of star and planet gazing. During the winter months the Observatory is open and manned every Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 18 to 21. No reservation is needed – the visit is included in your entrance ticket.

Please Note: Stargazing is not possible if the sky is overcast. The Round Tower cannot guarantee visible stars or planets if the weather does not permit.

If it is cloudy or overcast, our astronomers will still keep the Observatory open for visits and will in stead tell you more about the telescope and the old Observatory.
