Activities · Inner City
The Danish Film Institute cinema on Gothersgade — retrospectives and restorations, usually with English subtitles or in English.
Activities · Christianshavn
Olafur Eliasson footbridge made of five circular platforms with masts, crossing Christianshavn Canal.
Activities · Citywide
App-based bike hire with docks across the city. Copenhagen is flat and the cycle lanes are separated, so this is the fastest way to move.
Activities · Nørrebro
Independent Nørrebro cinema showing subtitled international films, with a decent bar attached.
Activities · Islands Brygge
Solar-powered picnic boats you drive yourself with no licence, from Islands Brygge and other docks. Bring the picnic.
Activities · Multiple docks
A free kayak in exchange for collecting rubbish out of the harbour while you paddle. Book a slot, take a bag.
Activities · Islands Brygge
The original harbour bath — five pools in the harbour itself, free, with lifeguards in season. The water is clean enough to swim in, which is the whole point of it.
Activities · Harbour
Line 991/992 is ordinary public transport on the water, costs a normal ticket, and covers most of the same harbour as the tour boats.
Activities · Nyhavn
Small open boats for guided harbour tours with a drink, rather than the large loudspeaker canal boats.
Activities · Vesterbro
A wooden boardwalk that folds up and down over the harbour, used for sitting, fishing, kayak launching and jumping in.
Activities · Nyhavn
The large guided canal boats from Nyhavn and Ved Stranden — an hour past the opera, the library and the Little Mermaid.
Activities · Refshale Island
A tiny wine bar and kitchen on the water with a wood-fired sauna and a ladder into the harbour. Year-round swimming, which in February is the point.
Activities · Sydhavnen
Quieter harbour bath south of the centre, with a deep pool and a diving tower.
Activities · Harbour
Winter sea swimming, usually paired with a sauna. Several clubs and the open harbour baths stay in use through the cold months.
