Take a nostalgia trip down telecom. Lots of interactivity for kids. Start on the 3rd floor, there is a small playarea at the 4th floor, your kids might get stuck there. The cafe at the top is nice, sure you pay a bit for the view, but the food is ok and better than what you can risk finding around... More

A local recommended thad we stop at the Mail & Telephone Museum while walking along Strøget. It didn't appeal to us at first but when we were at Strøget with tired feet and children we decided to give it a go since it was free after all. We were pleasantly surprised when we got there. The service staff was extremely... More

The museum is OK but the best feature is no doubt the roof top restaurant. Very nice brunch buffet on weekends with views over the roofs of central Copenhagen. Nice open air terrace (weather permitting). It might be a good idea to give a call to reserve a table.

On the rooftop lies a cafeteria with a fantastic view of the inner city of Copenhagen. Perfect for a coffee or lunch break.

Nice museum with interesting displays and explanations in English. Slightly crammed so visit early or late. Museum Staff very friendly. Very nice cafe at the top, but cafe waiters seemed stressed. Good idea to book a table as it gets very busy round lunch time. Kids menus. Extra feature for Half Term was "print your own stamps" - a huge... More

Went here to keep rain in the morning. And what a positive surprise. Our kids (8 & 4) just love it. There is a dedicated floor for kids for playing. Besides the usual "slides" there was a space for kids to play "postman". And that seemed to be the best part from kids point of view. There was postman uniforms... More

We were so surprised to find the lovely cafe on the rooftop of this museum. You can eat outside and look out over the spires of the city. It isn't cheap, but the food and service are excellent, and in my opinion, worth it for the atmosphere!

This is quite a good museum if you are interested in the topic: the history of the post office and telegraph service of Denmark. (Telegraph grew to include telephones.) Over several levels the exhibits show the development of the service to move letters throughout the country, which then became responsible for electronic communication. Some of the telephone equipment on display... More
