There is a natural lake area in the urban area of Copenhagen, which is divided into five sections by five small bridges.

By the lake, in the sunshine, and in the cool spring breeze, you will see couples hugging each other on the benches by the lake, Copenhageners jogging along the lake, and people sharing brunch on the green grass.

Lando's Round Tower was built between 1637 and 1642 and was ordered by Christian IV. It is the best viewing point to appreciate the old city of Copenhagen. There is a unique spiral corridor in the tower, with a total length of 209 meters. It surrounds the hollow round tower seven and a half times and leads directly to the top of the 34.8-meter-high round tower. At the commanding heights, you can have a panoramic view of the ancient Latin Quarter. For 17th-century scholars, the Round Tower was an important trinity, as it incorporated an observatory, a student chapel, and a university library. Christian IV's original intention was to allow the astronomer Tycho Brahe to have a high-rise building to observe comets. So far, the observatory at the top has an astronomical telescope, through which anyone can stare at the stars .
