Copenhagen

City Weekend difficulty: Easy with kids: yes
Copenhagen

The capital of Denmark, a city of bicycles, canals of colorful houses and the oldest amusement park in the world still running. In the harbor, a small bronze statue recalls The Little Mermaid.

The pop wink

The Little Mermaid statue in the harbor honors the tale of the Dane Hans Christian Andersen, which Disney brought to the screen.

With kids

  • Look for the Little Mermaid statue sitting on her rock in the harbor
  • Ride the attractions of the Tivoli, from 1843
  • Count the colorful houses of the Nyhavn wharf
  • Tour the city by bike on its safe lanes, like the Danes
Accessibility: All ages — very family-minded

With family

  • Sail the canals by boat among palaces and colorful houses
  • Tell how the statue honors the tale of the Dane Hans Christian Andersen
  • Climb a spiral tower to see the green copper rooftops
  • Try «smørrebrød», the famous Danish open sandwiches
