Guinness World Records Museum

Dark rooms, optical tricks and jumpy surprises, more of a spooky walk-through than a traditional museum.

Toys and kids' clothes at Magasin, with a museum of the department store's history at the back of the Kongens Nytorv building.

A grand old square with a garden at its center, known for puppet shows on the green.

A broad menu in a lively central room works well when adults want a real meal and kids want something simple.

Fresh homemade pasta, made each day until it sells out.

A kids' department up on the store's higher floors, and a free rooftop at the top with places to eat and views over the city.
