Have you ever tried a paternoster elevator? Often referred to as the "elevator of death", it's an elevator with no doors that never stops moving - you just have to take a leap of faith onto it! There are 5 still left in Copenhagen - come join me as I try a paternoster for the first time myself :)
Even if you're not super into elevators, it's one of the many free things to do in Copenhagen and it's in an old 1920s building directly across from Tivoli (the paternoster I am trying is located in the Axelborg building). So stop by if you're in the downtown Copenhagen area!

Have you ever tried a paternoster or would you? 🤔
What if you're in a wheelchair - seems like a challenge.
I have, paternosters are awesome
@@scipioafricanus5871 its forbidden to ride a paternoster on a wheel chair
Very nice video and thanks for the shout-out! The five paternosters in Copenhagen are located at Axelborg, Christiansborg, KVUC Vognmagergade, Frederiksberg Rådhus and the fifth one is in Danske Bank headquarters near Holmens Kanal. There is also a peternoster in the hospital in Vejle. Really nice to see others film elevators in Denmark. There are not many who do that. Please let me know when you find more old elevators in Copenhagen. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks so much for the info & for watching! Have you managed to ride/see the "hidden" or inaccessible Paternosters in Christiansborg/Danske Bank? 🤭 Or are they totally off limits?
And yes, I'll definitely let you know if I find any nice old Elevators! Though I'm sure you've seen them all by now haha
@@ErininCopenhagen Oh there are places in Copenhagen where i have not explored yet. And even the places i have been i often find new stuff. Yes i have seen both the paternosters you mention, although that was many years ago. I'm sure you can get in there if you ask really nice and explain the interests. That's how i got in the Danske Bank building. Would be nice to see them again and document them on video. Another place on my list is the Royal Danish Theatre. Seeing the monarks own private elevator would be the ultimate thing to experience
Also several inside the old DSB building in "Sølvgade".
You did well to find one that was still publicly accessible: these days a lot of the remaining paternosters tend to be in buildings that are not open to, or at least not frequented by, the general public. I suppose they think it would be too risky to let the public loose on them as they are less likely to be familiar with them and know how to use them safely than the regular users of such buildings. And even if the buildings themselves are open to the public, the paternosters are increasingly being barricaded off to prevent unauthorised use and you need a staff ID card or visitor's pass to access them (if visitors who have signed in are allowed to use them).
Very interesting and awesome city14L👍beautiful sharing dear new friend! Stay safe and connected. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Beautiful upload, thank you for sharing! Have a great week!😎
Thank you so much & you too! 😊✌️
Beautiful place and a great tour. I really enjoyed your video.Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏
Thanks for the information. It is indeed amazing spot for taking architectural photography. I feel sad the fact that I crossed this building without knowing this elevator.
The 'Electric Company Athens-Piraeus' had this type of elevator in the 1950s-1960s in downtown Athens. Lots of fun for youngsters!
I love paternosters, theres a lot of them here in Czechia. I’m quite surprised they are allowed to be so “open” in copenhagen.
Omg so scary!! but love this ✨
Thanks Shannon! You'll have to try it 😊
Surprised you didn't do a round trip to se if you would land on your head, when it goes on the other side
I did but only by accident and I was so scared 😭 Haha. I'd read online you should never, ever go over the top of them and then this one had no warning when you were approaching the top!! So I can confirm, you do not land on your head 😜
@@ErininCopenhagen Really didn't know that you shouldn't do a trip above or beneath. My mum had one at her office, so i tried my first with 6 and 3 decades later i tried the one at KVUC. Seemed relativ safe
But happy to hear everything went swell 😃 and your fine
Woahh never try this one, want to try this too
It is now not accessible to public. We went today. Main door closed unless you have a code to get in.
When we finally got in, elevators are off limits 4:10 now( Axelborg Bldg)😢
Hey, oh no what a shame! I don't know if you're local but they're opening the building up for a weekend in March as part of a special celebration for Copenhagen getting named world's best architectural city this year. If you're around, check out DAC's website for more info 😊 Hope you manage to see it!
The paternoster in parliament is very iconic. It is also the only one of that I've personally been on.
I hope to see it myself one day! Is it just in the main lobby area?
😱
I have seen that elevator online and wow, I would love to try that one! XD hahahaha
It was really scary 😱 And they can be dangerous if you're not fast enough!
thanks for the video! any idea whether is it still open to public? saw a comment that it is now off limits to public
Do you have to pay going into the publicly accessible one?
They are noisy. Or the one at Christiansborg is. I once had a job interview in a meeting room next to the paternoster.
Yes! That surprised me too. Did the noise throw you off your interview?? 🤭
@@ErininCopenhagen No. I did not get the job, though.
Now you passed the Danish member of parliament test. I guess we soon will see you as PM 🙂
What is so deadly about these? You can even enjoy the blood stains from previous users, while you ride ...
