  Explore the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

  The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a vast art museum located in Humlebaek, Denmark, which is not that far from Copenhagen. The museum opened in 1958 and holds art dating back to World War II up to modern days. Historically, the original property owner was a man named Alexander Brun, who decided to name the place after all three of his wives… they were all named Louise! The property was later taken over by a man named Knud W. Jensen, who turned it into the museum that it is today along with a few architects.

It's ranked second for its age, only behind Denmark's other excellent amusement park, Klampenborg! There is a small fee to enter Tivoli Gardens, but then you also pay by ride. To save money, be sure to invest in a ride pass, so you can endlessly go on as many rides as you'd like. Try to visit at night to see the whole area all lit up! It's truly magical.

  See the view from the Round Tower

  The Round Tower is a 17th-century tower right outside of Copenhagen's city center. Denmark's Christian IV constructed the building with the purpose of it being an observatory to look at the stars and study astronomy. The tower stands at 114 feet, and it was built in 1637. The inside of the building has an extremely minimal and unique architecture, which makes it worth visiting. Because the building was built with such a high height, you can quickly get some of Copenhagen's best views from the windows on the top of the Round Tower!

  You Should Know

  You truly won't need a whole lot of time to explore the Round Tower. The tower is connected to a beautiful library frequented by none other than Hans Christian Andersen, the famed Danish writer.
