Frederiksberg Garden

The beautiful park on Frederiksberg runs right up to Copenhagen's ZOO and was originally built by Frederik IV. The park was to be the setting for Frederiksberg Palace, and today there are still remnants of the Baroque garden and the beautiful landscape gardens. There are lakes and canals, skating in winter, and in summer it's a great place to lie and laze in the natural and very beautiful surroundings that make the park so desirable.

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.

Tycho Brahe Planetarium

There is a lot to see and do in Copenhagen and one of the many family experiences is definitely a trip to the Planetarium.

Take the family on a tour of the infinite universe at the Tycho Brahe Planetarium, opposite the New Theatre on Gammel Kongevej in the centre of Copenhagen.

Nordisk Film is the world's oldest film company and has been a part of Danish film history for more than 100 years. It all began with Ole Olsen back in 1906, when Nordisk Film was established in Valby and soon after established itself in the silent film market - ahead of competitors like Hollywood itself! Ever since, Nordisk Film has remained where it is today, playing a vital role in Danish film production both at home and on the world stage.

Copenhagen

Try a car holiday in Denmark and discover the capital Copenhagen at your own pace on a family self-drive holiday. There's plenty to see, so be sure to arrange a cheap hotel stay with us beforehand. Then you can get started exploring the Danish capital. Firstly, make sure you stop by one of Denmark's landmarks; The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid is the biggest tourist attraction in Denmark and one of the most photographed statues in the world. Walking past Amalienborg is also a must on your trip to Copenhagen. Christiansborg, the Round Tower and Rosenborg are among other sights to pass by. Of course, you should also take a stroll along Strøget, which starts at Rådhuspladsen and continues down to Kongens Nytorv. Here, shopping opportunities abound. If you continue across Kongens Nytorv, you'll come to Nyhavn. Nyhavn is at once modern Copenhagen's most popular and vibrant meeting place and an attraction of historical importance. It is also possible to find cheap weekend breaks at Risskov, so take a summer or winter break and experience a self-drive holiday in the capital.

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.

Nyhavn

Find a cheap weekend break in Copenhagen at Risskov and discover the idyllic harbour district of old Copenhagen dating back to the 1670s and excavated as an alternative to the pre-existing harbour. Nyhavn used to be known as a more seedy neighbourhood, but in the early 1980s the whole area was given a facelift and today Nyhavn is home to a wide range of delicious restaurants, bars and cafés, and there's nothing better than enjoying a cold drink on one of the many harbour terraces on a warm sunny day. The old, colourful and sometimes quirky houses along the quayside are beautiful and colourful, and there is always a festive and good atmosphere on the quayside. H.C. Andersen lived for five years in No. 20, where he wrote a number of his best-known works, including The Princess and the Lighthouse. Go on a mini holiday in Copenhagen and find a cheap hotel in the capital at Risskov.

The National Museum of Art

SMK is an acronym for the State Art Museum, which is located in the centre of Copenhagen and exhibits both art and art history from the last 700 years. SMK is a varied mix of old and new art, and you can see works by Nolde, Anna Ancher, Hammershøj, Munch and Rubens, to name but a few. But the SMK is probably best known for its incredible collection of Danish Golden Age art and its quite spectacular collection of French art from 1900 to 1930, with famous artists such as Matisse and Picasso. There are also ongoing exhibitions of a special calibre and so it is well and truly impossible not to get full value for time spent at the National Museum of Art. Take part in the many activities the museum organises for both children and adults and enjoy an exciting day among the great artists.
