Copenhagen’s skyline lies distinctly low to the ground, but some architectural elements soar above all else: the city’s church spires and palace towers. For this reason, the Danish capital is often called the “City of Spires.” Perhaps the most unique, the baroque Church of Our Savior features a spiral stairway that hugs the outside of the steeple. Christian IV’s former stock exchange building boasts a “dragon spire” resembling the entwined tails of four beasts, and the City Hall and Christiansborg Palace strike their own dramatic pose.
