We left Edinburgh on July 11th for Copenhagen! The morning started off early for us (4:30am) to catch our flight. Once we arrived in Edinburgh we made our way through check in and TSA. I did appreciate in Edinburgh that they had a line for families that seemed to move a lot more smoothly for us.
Once in Edinburgh we went right to the hotel but we had about 3x hours to wait until check in. We became aware very fast how expensive Denmark was by our taxi bill. In Copenhagen It cost about $70 to go about 5 miles and in comparison the taxi in Edinburgh from the airport to our home was 9 miles and about $25!
While we waited to check in we found a very chic and quiet lounge area so the boys could sleep for a few hours. Thankfully they both got some sleep and when they woke up it was time to check in. Our room was very small but it had everything we needed. Our room was on the 9th floor so we had a little view of the bay!
After we got settled we rented some bikes and hit the town! We had an absolute blast but I have to admit it was a bit scary at first because the bike scene is Copenhagen is intense. Bikes have not only their own lanes but also stop lights. We rode around for a bit and found an amazing park and playground.
The playgrounds in Denmark left me speechless. Most playgrounds have a paid staff during the day and also a clubhouse with kitchen , bathrooms and indoor activities if it’s raining! Toys and little bikes are left out all the time for kids to use as well.
We ended our first night with a delicious dinner at a circus themed restaurant!
