Den Blå Planet

Close to the beach and metro, this is a practical budget base when you care more about access than hotel amenities.

A huge sandy beach with shallow water and long paths makes this one of the easiest full summer days in the city.

Goats, rabbits and other animals give little kids a farm visit without leaving the city.

A farm, playgrounds and staffed activities make this especially good with younger kids who want more than one thing to do.

Loft style rooms with kitchens and shared spaces work well for longer stays when you want something between hotel and apartment.

Pizza, pasta and a relaxed room make this a safe dinner when kids need food they immediately recognize.
