A science museum that's exciting for all ages. Here you can test and learn about technology, nature, and physics, such as the sensory tunnel, where you experience a newborn's first visual impressions up to an elderly person's limited hearing. Or you can embark on a journey through the body, learn about wind and water, and finally maybe gain insight into the properties of light in the light maze?

10. Danish Pastries

Address: Copenhagen Central Post Building

The Danes are masters of open sandwiches, oysters, and sausages like no others. But they're also extraordinarily good at baking, a meal that children never say no to. Villa Copenhagen has its own bakery, Rug Bakery, and here you should try the house sourdough bread, Berliner doughnut, and the classic pain au chocolat.

Good day and enjoy your sugar rush!
