Scandic Spectrum

A harbor swim beside the shopping center gives older kids a fun break when everyone is tired of stores or museums.

A good budget-conscious base when you want to be able to walk to Tivoli and the central station without giving up a family-friendly room setup.

You drive your own slow electric picnic boat, which turns sightseeing into an activity instead of another guided tour.

The rooftop pool and central station location make this a very appealing splurge with kids who actually use hotel amenities.

Climbing installations and family activities make buildings and city design feel surprisingly hands on.

A giant spiral slide inside the architecture center turns the museum into something kids actively ask to do again.
