The Round Tower: Christian the Fourth's Spiral to the Stars
- Historic Center: The Old Town Rebuilt from Fire: Copenhagen's cobbled old town looks medieval, but it is largely a Neoclassical city rebuilt after the great fires and the bombardment of eighteen oh seven, laid over an ancient street plan and crowned by the two surviving towers of one king.
- Nyhavn: The Royal Quarter and the Harbour of Coloured Houses: A walk through the Copenhagen a king drew on purpose, from the great round square of Kongens Nytorv down the coloured quay of Nyhavn to the royal palaces, the Marble Church, a star fortress, and a small bronze mermaid looking out to the Sound.
- Slotsholmen: The Island of Power and the Spiral Spire: Walk the little island where Copenhagen was born, from the palace of parliament and the dragon-spired stock exchange to the harbour crossing, the canal quarter, and the golden spiral you climb on the outside.
