If you are looking for a dog friendly destination, look no further than Denmark. And if you have kids, even better – then go to Legoland in Bilund – about 2.5 hours by spectacularly scenic train from Copenhagen.
Bilund is the heart of Lego headquarters and a center for peace, tranquility and…. a lot of creativity thanks to LEGO. Plus the bakery in the center of town is one of the few bakeries outside of Paris which matches the smell of the bakery to the taste of the items inside the bakery.
Booking a hotel room at the Legoland hotel guarantees you admission into the park. Although keep in mind, the park is not open every day. Either call in advance or look for the waving Lego figure statue. If he’s waving, it’s open. If not, try again. Again, best to call in advance. Legoland’s original theme park is not only Pølser (hot dog) friendly but also canine friendly. When you do arrive, bring your four legged travel friend with you. You will not be able to ride on the rides with your friend, but the rest of your explorations will be with canine friend in tow.
If you have a small pet, the Legoland hotel next door to the theme park may seat include your pet for dinner (up to the discretion of the waitstaff and mild mannered nature of your dog). It is not certainly unheard of to hear the question posed to a party of 3 humans waiting to be seated for dinner: “You mean party of four?” pointing discreetly at the Chihuahua who is nonchalantly patiently waiting to be noticed.
Only Turkey and France thus far compare to seating a dog at the table, but so far Denmark is beating all canine friendly standards offering a custom meal specifically for our hovering hound. “Delicious Pølser!”, twitters Littles in a dog eat dog world.
