This Copenhagen suburb is close to the attractions of the capital, allowing visitors to combine a city break with outdoor activities. Take the train into the big city to check out the entertainment, activities and sights of Copenhagen.
But there’s a lot to see in Albertslund itself, a town that focuses on families. Take a look at what’s on at Albertslund Centrum for example – bustling with a wide range of activities throughout the whole year, including the Danish ‘Fastelavn’ in February, music, runs and flea markets.
MusikTeatret Albertslund is the biggest entertainment centre on Zealand, with cinemas and a library, which hosts concerts, opera, live theatre and ballet. MusikTeatret also has an outdoor stage, where events are run throughout the summer.
If you enjoy relaxing in the countryside, the Vestskoven woods are nearby. They are a huge unspoilt area with a range of different landscapes and are a popular destination for schools in the area. Children come here to learn about wildlife and plants. Get your walking boots on and set off down the Naturstien, a footpath that leads you through different types of woodland, featuring beech, oak, ash and lime trees. The perfect way to learn more about nature in Denmark while enjoying a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If the children can’t get their fill of flora and fauna, take them to Dyregården Toftegård, a relaxed, organic farm where they can get close to chickens, cows, dogs and rabbits, not to mention trying their hand at pony riding. Take a picnic along and enjoy a wonderful day in the countryside. A delightful place for children and adults.
With such a wide range of entertainment and rural activities, you and your family will never get bored, and can enjoy the friendliness and warm welcome of the town during your holiday in Albertslund. There are plenty of opportunities here for spending quality time outdoors.
