Although the grandiose Skt Nikolaj Kirke (daily noon-5pm; 20kr, Wed free) is one of the oldest churches in the city, and mother church of the Danish Reformation in 1536, it hasn't been used for ecclesiastical purposes since 1795, when the city's second great fire destroyed everything except the tower (which, ironically enough, was subsequently used to house the municipal fire brigade). The massive red-brick church wasn't rebuilt until early in the twentieth century, and now houses stimulating exhibitions of contemporary art: the main body provides a grand venue for multimedia art shows; the tower is mostly used for audio and video installations. Heading east along the final section of Strøget - here called Ostergade, and undoubtedly the most exclusive section of the entire thoroughfare - you'll pass a number of classy stores and shopping arcades, along with another international tourist pull: the Guinness World of Records Museum (June-Aug daily 9.30am-10pm, 69kr; Sept-May daily 10am-6pm, 65kr; www.guinness.dk ) - much as you'd expect, with family-oriented exhibits on the world's tallest, fastest and smallest.
