citylikeyou — Helgoland — Copenhagen by Anders Arhøj

Copenhagen / Place

In the summertime you can take the Metro directly to the beach. And if you’re over the crowded white trash tanning and blanket sex scene, enter the hidden away mens or womens area located in the big wooden beach bathhouse. Here you can lie naked and enjoy the sun on your private parts while reading a novel or surfing your iPad. Expect lots of gays and lesbos which can be a curse or a party depending on who you are as a person.

Address
Helgoland, Øresund Metro station, Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen / Architecture

Trekroner fort is is a wonderful place, 15 minutes by boat from the city centre. The old fort is open to the public during the day, but only accessible from the water side. The current area was founded in 1786, but was not finished at the Battle of the Nest (April 2, 1801) or at the British bombardment in 1807. It was not until 1828 that construction was completed after a period of economic decline. Photo: © Ture Andersen

Copenhagen / Cinema

The Cinema Byen’s Lys in Christinia is the best cinema in town. A must see, but they are only open on Sundays at 20 o’clock and no-one knows what they will show, but no matter what, it is worth a visit. The cinema doesn’t have an address but its next to a café called Månefiskeren, and then ask from there.

Copenhagen / Shop

The showroom of Copenhagen furniture brand Frama. It is based in the former St. Pauls Apotek established in 1878. Check out their website for opening hours or head to their instagram for information about pop-up dinners and other events.

Copenhagen / Cafe

Between colony gardens in Amager lies one of my favourite local spots: Baghaven. Good food and cosiness is in the forefront. Various events with and without music gather people on the square at Diamantgangen 75. A very local experience. Great for families, children, young and old.
