You're likely to pass through Central Station sooner or later, given its excellent connections to both the airport and the rest of the Danish railway network. Built between 1904 and 1911, the exterior has a strikingly ecclesiastical appearance, rather like a red-brick neo-Gothic cathedral, topped with a green pyramidal roof. Inside, the huge main hall is nowadays fairly humdrum - only by looking up at the high ceilings and wooden beams do you get a sense of its former splendour. On the north side of Tivoli, near the Radhus, is the purpose-built Danish Design Centre (Mon-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat & Sun 11am-4pm; 35kr; www.ddc.dk ), opened at the beginning of 2000 as a showcase for Denmark's outstanding design industry. Housing temporary exhibitions of Danish and international creations - anything from Bang & Olufsen stereo equipment to street furniture - it's been considered a bit of a flop, and is unlikely to appeal unless you're particularly fascinated by design. It does, however, have an excellent shop. If you've really exhausted every other option, then Louis Tussauds , the Danish version of London's Madame Tussauds, is worth a look, but don't expect anything more than the usual collection of waxwork celebrities. The two most diverting areas are the pretty section dedicated to fairytales and Hans Christian Andersen, and the basement horror vault, where skeletons and ghouls rush towards you out of dark corridors - parts are almost scary.
