Tivoli Gardens in the middle of the city, a good zoo, canal boats through the old harbour, and the original LEGOLAND at Billund.
Tivoli's entry and rides are priced separately — buy the ride wristband. LEGOLAND is three hours west and deserves an overnight rather than a day trip.
Add CopenhagenWhen to go. May to September, and Tivoli's Christmas season in November and December. Winter days are short — dark by four in December.

|---|---|
| Entry | No visa for Singapore passport holders for short stays. ETIAS is coming. |
| Time | Six or seven hours behind Singapore depending on the season. |
| Money | Danish krone, not the euro. Denmark is close to cashless and many places take no cash at all. |
| Cost | Expensive — closer to Switzerland than to Germany. Supermarket lunches and a self-catering flat are how families manage it. |
| Bicycles | Copenhagen is built around cycle lanes and they are fast, busy and have right of way. Look both ways before crossing one, as in Amsterdam. |
| Getting around | Copenhagen's metro runs all night and is driverless — sit at the front, children love it. Billund is three hours west by train and bus. |
| Tivoli | Entry and rides are separate tickets. The multi-ride wristband is what you want with children, and the park closes between seasons. |
| Water | Tap water is excellent. |
