Small distances in Copenhagen

Because of the relatively small distances, the Copenhagen area is easy to move around with kids. The offers are also plenty, easy to get public transport, organise car hire and access sites.

This means if you visit Copenhagen, it’s possible to “terrify”  your children with a tour of the dungeons of Kronborg Castle in the morning, sail in a Viking ship on Roskilde Fjord in the afternoon,  and finish with an exhilarating evening in Tivoli Gardens in the evening.
