Watch the live camera obscura show of the streets below, then work your way down five floors of mirror mazes and optical tricks.

Why it's a good date: Daft, hands-on fun that makes you both laugh, and it's dry. The rooftop terrace has one of the best views of the Old Town, so aim for a clear day if you can.
