Four Points Flex by Sheraton Copenhagen Airport

The Blue Planet

Den Blå Planet, Denmark's Aquarium, is Northern Europe's largest aquarium and offers a unique experience for children and adults. With Den Blå Planet, Denmark once again has a world-class national aquarium and a new architectural landmark. The Blue Planet has water on all sides and is designed to give visitors the feeling of being below sea level. The new building consists of five "arms" that extend out from the center. This allows visitors to choose their own route around the aquarium to see the exotic creatures underwater. You can get up close and personal with a total of 20,000 fish and marine animals in 53 aquariums with a total of seven million liters of water.

Amager Beach Park

Go on a beach holiday in Strandparken on Amager, which is Copenhagen's largest beach and is only about 5 km from the city centre. Find a cheap family holiday at Risskov and come with your swimming trunks to Strandparken. Strandparken offers activities all year round, partly based on the many facilities located along Amager Strand. There are parkour courts, bars for strength training, opportunities to play beach volleyball and beach football. The good asphalt surface also makes it easy to rollerblade and scoot. But of course there are activities on the 'lake' too, with kayaks, surfboards, canoes and pedalos available to hire, so there should be plenty to keep you entertained on the water.

Amager Strandpark offers plenty of exciting outdoor activities and is the perfect place for a family picnic, weather permitting. Find a cheap hotel close to the beach and enjoy a summer holiday on the beach.

Dragør

The old town has many well-preserved historic buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The red-tiled and yellow-painted houses and cobbled alleys are one of the characteristics of Dragør. The old town also lies next to very beautiful natural areas with woods, beach meadows and fields.

Dragør is a mix of culture and history, shopping and restaurants and don't forget to try an ice cream from the Ice House in the harbour.

The harbour is widely used by recreational sailors and small fishing boats and also serves as a base port for pilot boats. Dragør is a lovely little harbour town that certainly deserves a visit.

Christiania

Christiania makes up almost half of Copenhagen's preserved ramparts, giving it a unique location on Christianshavn. Christiania, or 'The City' as it is also known, was established in 1971 and is always worth a visit when the sun shines. Experience the alternative way of life, the fun houses, the many sculptures, small shops, or visit one of Christiania's many cafés and eateries. There are often concerts and other cultural events, and if you've brought your skateboard, don't miss the city's very own skate park. At Christmas time, there is always a very atmospheric Christmas market in the 'Grey Hall', with fun features and lots of stalls and small food outlets.

Carlsberg Glyptotek

The Glyptotek in the centre of Copenhagen exhibits an impressive collection of antique art and works from the 19th and 20th centuries in magnificent surroundings. The museum was founded by brewer Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914). The Glyptotek's permanent collection contains around 10,000 works of art divided into two main collections. Discover one of Copenhagen's cultural gems and enjoy refreshments in the Glyptotek's café.

The Royal Library Garden

The library garden is a small green spot, well hidden away in the busy capital. This little green oasis is located on Slotsholmen, between Christiansborg Palace and the Royal Library, with Christian IV's old Stock Exchange building in the background.

Today, the garden is filled with beds and beautiful flowers and surrounded by tall shrubs and shady trees. In the middle is a low pool with a water sculpture in the middle.

The garden was built in 1920 on top of Christian IV's former war port, Tøjhushavnen. At the end of the garden, old mooring rings are still built into the walls for the 17th and 18th century ships that were berthed there.

There is also a sculpture of the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, looking sadly into the horizon. It is said that it was here that he had to propose to Regine Olsen, with whom he was very much in love.

Amalienborg

Go on a summer holiday in Copenhagen with Risskov and discover Amalienborg, a must for anyone interested in our royal history and the lives of the royals who are still part of the palace today. At the museum you can sniff around the history of the royal family, and from the beautiful palace square you can watch the Livgarden changing of the guard every day at 12 noon. Find a cheap weekend break or go on a mini holiday to Copenhagen and experience Amalienborg and the Livgarden Changing of the Guard at 12 noon.

Rundetaarn

Many of the beautiful Renaissance buildings in Copenhagen were built during the reign of Christian IV. The Round Tower is no exception, and was built as an observation tower as an extension of Trinitatis Church. But that was then, today it's a unique chance to experience Copenhagen from above. Walking is about 210 metres to the top of the Rundetaarn, and that's even though it's only 36 metres high. The trip up spirals around the inside of the tower walls, so the journey will seem a little longer. But from the top of the observation platform, there's a great view of the whole of old Copenhagen, with indications of the tallest buildings visible to the naked eye. Good exercise for the whole family, rewarded with a unique panoramic view and some unforgettable moments from Købmagergade.

Tivoli

Copenhagen Tivoli is an amusement park located in the centre of Copenhagen close to Copenhagen Central Station and Strøget. The park is the second oldest of its kind in the world, only Dyrehavsbakken is older. Tivoli was founded by Georg Carstensen in 1843. Try the park's many rides and enjoy an adventurous day with the family, or take a walk in the park and see the beautiful set-up. Tivoli is known for its beautiful Christmas exhibition, which can be enjoyed in December.

ZOO, Copenhagen

With over 3,000 animals in over 264 exciting species, Frederiksberg Zoo is always an experience in a class of its own. Take the tour of the 'Arctic Ring' and get up close to the animals that live in the cold regions of the Arctic Circle. Meet the polar bears and seals, both under and above water. Also visit the famous Elephant House, considered one of the best in the world. In the Children's Zoo, the little ones are catered for, petting the dwarf goats and watching the farm animals being fed at close quarters. The Tropezoo is filled with snakes, crocodiles, pygmy deer, birds and lots of beautiful butterflies that thrive in the beautifully landscaped rainforest.

The zoo at Frederiksberg is a small peaceful oasis in the middle of the otherwise busy city, which guarantees great experiences for both young and old who love animals.
