Open guided tour in English
Join an open tour for everyone – you don't need to be in a group. Be captivated by the royal tombs and travel through the history of architecture and the church, where you will hear fascinating stories about the clock with St. George and the dragon and about the King's Column marked with Peter the Great's height. You will get an overview of the many Danish kings and queens, especially Margrete I and Christian IV, and embark on a time journey through 800 years of architectural development, which has placed the Nordic first Gothic church in bricks on UNESCO's list. Learn about the golden altar and gain insight into the church's life before and after the Reformation, and end by enjoying the impressive church interior.
Time: Every first Wednesday of the month at 12.30 PM. In June, July, and August, it is every Wednesday.
Price: 100 DKK for the tour + entry to the Cathedral.
Booking: No registration needed, just show up.
