Tips before you go

  • You need a Schengen visa; you usually reach Copenhagen on a connecting flight via European or Gulf cities.
  • Billund is about 3 hours by car from Copenhagen and has its own airport, so give it two days with children.
  • The best time is May to September; the weather changes, so bring a light coat even in summer.
