Bellahøj Swimming Stadium

Lakes, birds and long paths make this a good biking or stroller day when you want nature rather than attractions.

Cheap crafts, stationery and tiny toys make this one of those stores kids can happily browse with a small budget.

Hummus, flatbread and small plates are easy to share and let cautious eaters build a meal out of familiar pieces.

Swings, climbing and objects from around the world turn this long public space into something kids can explore rather than just cross.

The giant banana shaped climbing wall is the obvious hook, with lawns and play space around it.

Parents get excellent coffee while the street gives you plenty of little shops and snack stops to keep kids moving.
