Medical Museion

Danish design in the old 1757 Frederiks Hospital, free under 17, with a sculpture garden where kids may climb the 'Playmates' figures.

The royal family's historic offices and the Gala Hall, a Fabergé room with a golden egg that opens to a hen, and the Royal Life Guard changing outside.

Old wooden beams overhead in a 1787 warehouse on the quay, a loft family room for two adults and two kids, and suites looking out over the harbor.

Burgers from organic beef ground in-house every day, made until they sell out, at a stand in a converted gas station.

Rooms look across the harbor to the Opera House and Langelinie pier, and the Kyssetrappen steps down to the water are right out front.

Canal trips in small boats that take 12 people at most, on routes past Christianshavn, the Opera House and the Little Mermaid.
