It's is mostly a historical museum and covers the time from the earliest relics of the Danes to modern times. The physical museum used to be a castle, and that explains why there are so many rooms, one after another. I recommend looking at the overall map and pick a floor and a place to start, based on what interests you the most. Then, allow yourself to get lost in terms of going from one room to another. There are visual and historical treasures throughout the museum, so it would be nearly impossible to NOT find things of interest. I loved seeing the old crowns, jewelry, and clothing, as well as Viking horns for drinking, old weapons, and the creative way things are presented. I was impressed by this museum because they have used modern museum techniques to display objects and explanations. For example, in one room, they had talking paintings to convey information, or a knight on a horse, which makes horse noises out of the blue. They also have some very creative temporary exhibits, which you should check out. When I was there, there were very interactive displays that were all about money and how wealth is distributed around the world. It was thought provoking, as well as fun. When you need a rest, there is also a cafeteria overlooking the inside of the museum. Face it, you are not going to see it all. There is too much and you won't have the time or stamina to "do it all." But that's OK. It's definitely worth it to buy a ticket ($22 USD) to spend two hours or so, as we did.

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

There is one entrance and one exit to the submarine. It's not until you step inside that you realize why. You get to go through a real submarine. It is super tight due to all the equipment. You have to slide into the small, round entranceways from one section to the other. Some adults didn't go all the way to the end because it felt like it was getting narrower and narrower. As you can imagine, not too many people can be inside at once. There is also the front section of an old train you can step into and take pictures in. It's the perfect museum to take the entire family to. I enjoyed my time here.

The Malmo Konstall is one of the largest modern art exhibition spaces in Europe. I went as part of Malmo Nordic 2013 to see "24 Spaces - A Cacophony", which featured quite a few non-commercial artists. The exhibition itself was great, but I also really enjoyed the exhibition space spread out over one sprawling floor. Also notable: a totally respectable English book selection in the store and a charming lunch spot / outdoor cafe. The vibe is relaxed; you can take your time or whizz through things, both models without judgment. Just how I like to take in my dose of art. Yelp note: a lot of construction around the Konsthall currently (summer 2013) but be persistent! It's harder to see the signage, but worth the persistent effort.

There's even an academy educated employee to help the kids in their project. You can't bring your pram, but they have complimentary Stoke prams/strollers. But come early to be sure to get one. On the first Sunday in the month they have a kids project on the scene. It can be an art instillation with yarn or make your own home with cardboard boxes. My 3 years old loves it. The brunch is wicked and homemade from scratch and very nordic. Admission to the museum is free but the kids workshop costs 45 kr.

Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7. The Planetarium: shows the solar system I highly recommend visiting Rundetaarn. It is located in Norreport; beautiful shops and restaurants. Polse: best hot dogs are served in this truck outside tower Rundetaarn is located on: Kobmagergarde 52 A 1150 København K Denmark Check out Rundetaarn.dk for more info

Plus, it was raining so a good way to wait it out while taking in the sights. You walk up a gentle spiral to get a nice view of the city. Along the way, there are rooms you can stop in for art exhibitions, a view of the actual church (there was service going on when we were there), random alcoves, refreshments, and even the toilet. The place is clean and it wasn't overly crowded when we went on a weekday in the afternoon. Because of the gentler slope, it's friendly for all ages. The view isn't very high, but it's still pretty good! There are little "benches" along the way - in case you do need to rest or plan the next stop of your day. A good place to stop by to get a view of the city!
