Copenhagen with a baby or toddler (0-2)
With a baby or toddler, Copenhagen is a stroller city until you reach a boat or a castle. The zoo has a nursing room and changing tables, the aquarium recommends bringing a stroller, and the King's Garden is where you stop in between. Pack a carrier for the canal tour and the Round Tower.
Tips by age · 0-2
- The zoo has a nursing room by the restrooms nearest the entrance and keeps emergency diapers at the gate.
- Tivoli's baby room by Rasmus Klump's World has changing tables, microwaves and nursing chairs.
- Bring a carrier: strollers stay on the quay for canal tours and at the door of Rosenborg and Kronborg.
