The Lego House is an absolute must for visitors to Billund- it is a triumph and celebration of the core values of Lego- play, creativity and imagination. It balances state of the art technology with the simplicity of the basic brick and creates a multitude of play stations for children and adults to get thoroughly absorbed in making and creating. The house itself is uncompromising in its quality and design, with wonderful outside play areas on every level and a huge Lego brick on the roof. Lots of photo opportunities and interactive elements throughout. From the moment you walk in and a big screen scans your hand and asks which Lego character you are, the fun begins! An absolute MUST is lunch in the restaurant which is ordered by creating a menu sequence of Lego pieces then delivered to your hands in a big Lego brick by robot. The whole experience is delightful- sadly the robots had a minor malfunction when it came to our turn but the meal was delicious and it didn’t spoil the excitement... Super staff, friendly and knowledgeable and clearly committed to the Lego ethos and values. We liked the fact that once you pay to get in, apart from the allure of the shop, the attraction does not try to exploit opportunities to pay extra money for gimmicks throughout each stage. Everything from the brilliant stop motion film studio to the Robo lab is included in the entrance price- very reasonable for what you get to explore and enjoy (and for us an entire 8 hours of play!) and can be upgraded for only 200 DKK for a year pass which seemed brilliant value if you could visit a number of times- there would certainly be plenty to keep you entertained on return visits... The History of Lego display in the basement is informative and full of examples of Lego kits through the years which show the evolution of the famous toy. Don’t miss the chance to create a unique card with your Lego ‘DNA’ made with a combination of 6 red bricks. Try not to lose it like we did, and you’ll have a really great day. Lego house- well done- this was a real highlight of our trip and we would recommend it for all ages- a triumph of design, awe and wonder!
2. Tivoli Gardens

From mid-April to mid-September, a world-class amusement park comes to life in the center of Copenhagen. More than two dozen rides await you, in addition to live entertainment and more than 30 eateries.

Had a fantastic night at Tivoli with friends, 'Little Disney' was very well kept with beautiful gardens and water features. The rides were AMAZING, we went on The Golden Tower and The Star Flyer, also The Demon which was a super-fast thrill seeking roller coaster and Vertigo which is both scary and gets you in fits of giggles at the same time. A little dark at night along the paths etc but very different in a city centre, fully enjoyed our trip to Tivoli and would definitely go back.
3. Rosenborg Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9,304 reviews
The beautiful 400-year-old castle is situated in central Copenhagen's popular park, The King's Garden. The castle was built by one of the most famous Scandinavian kings, Christian IV. Today, the glory of the past can be experienced through the numerous art treasures of the previous kings and queens. Among the main attractions is the Great Hall with the coronation thrones and three life-size silver lions standing guard. The crown jewels and royal regalia sparkle behind the thick walls of the treasury beneath the castle.

This is a beautiful 16 th century palace with wonderful gardens, including a very impressive rose garden, all set in the midst of a pretty park. Your transported back to the time of King Christian 4 as you tour the interiors and then get to view the Royal Crown Jewels in the basement. This is a don’t miss sight in Copenhagen, the best of the palaces within the city proper. Go early,as entrance tickets are timed , at least when I visited in October.
4. Nyhavn

Copenhagen's Nyhaven, or "New Harbor," is actually steeped in a long heritage. Colorful buildings line the canal and hint at a history of small-vessel traffic. Like many ports, this strip has a salty history, rich with sailors, drinking and literary exploits. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen made his home in Nyhavn as well. It's cleaned up now and is a lovely place for a stroll.

Celebrating its 50 years anniversary in 2018, Legoland is a must-see attraction for LEGO-fans of all ages. It is a big theme park based on the popular bricks with plenty of amusements for the entire family - from boats and train rides for smaller kids to state-of-the-art rollercoasters for the tweens and teens. The park is well organised, well kept and with plenty of opportunities to eat and drink. But in the school holidays in can be quite crowded. So plan your trip and book your tickets in advance. Booking +2 days will earn you a discount. Download the parks app. It will help you see queuing times for all amusements - and if the waiting time is long, consider spending money on the Q-Bot - a device that will hold your place in the que, so that you don't have to stand there waiting. But notice that the Q-Bot is only for the bigger amusements. If you are going for the amusements for smaller kids, there is no alternative to standing in line. If your kids wants to take the Legoland drivers license in the driving school (for kids between 7 and 13), go there as the first thing you do in the park and sign up for a time slot. Note that though the park is open until 20.00, most people leave around 18.00 - so you can get a lot of the bigger rides with no waiting at the end of the day. Be aware that Legoland can be an expensive outing for the family. Some of the attractions (fx Driving School, Goldmining) will cost you extra, and food and beverages in the parks restaurants is generally on the expensive side. The Lego Shop doesn't offer any discounts, so don't count on making a bargain. If you want to save, the park has a couple of nice picnic areas, where you can enjoy your own lunch pack. And if possible, bring your own stroller for smaller kids. The park charges 50 DKK for renting you one. But don't let waiting time and prices discourage you. The park is well worth a visit.

Its a remaining of old city that is 200-300 years old. Its partly reconstructed. Its a really nice place to spend time with family and friends. Its suitable for toddler and disable people. However, people with wheelchair won't be able to climb the wooden staircase of the old buildings. At some point its similar to a open air museum. There is a bakery that sells cookies, cakes, cinnamon breads and biscuits, which are based on 17th century old recipes,I highly recommend. It took 1.5 hours for us to explore. Its 135 DKK per adult.

We’ve seen many castles in many countries over our lifetime, but Egeskov Castle is most definitely in my top 10 list. There is something about the setting, the water surrounding it. The castle and grounds are very well maintained and the gardens so nicely laid out. There certainly is something for all members of the family. There are the classic car displays if some seldom seen cars. The massive dolls house with its intricately fashioned miniatures are a wonder and a testimony to an artistic eye for detail and quality craftsmanship. Would recommend planning to spend 4-5 hrs here to fully take in the castle and grounds. It will be hours well spent.
9. The Black Diamond - Royal Danish Library

A wonderful library that blends old and new style into a perfect architectural creation. From the outside, it looks like a diamond, and supposedly, on sunny days, the building shines like a diamond on the water. I cannot confirm this because it has been raining constantly during my stay. :) - I definitely envy students studying in Copenhagen because this is a place where you can find peace. Also, on the ground floor there is a beautiful little cafe. I took an Americano which was one of the best I had the opportunity to taste it.

The burial site of Lindholm Hoje is one of the most beautiful ancient monuments in Denmark from late Iron Age and the Viking Age. Several hundred stone circles indicate the tombs. In the museum, you can see an exhibition on the lives of the Vikings on Lindholm Hoje as well as a new exhibition on the ancient time in the land of the Limfjorden.
