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 / Park

Just 25 min by train from downtown Copenhagen lies an old and beautiful forest and country area inhabited by wild (but friendly) deer. It's a vast, mysterious space for getting lost in and perfect for spacing out on mushrooms if you bring friends. Stay away on Sundays as it fills up with screaming children and zombie parents. Grab an ice cream on your way back at Bakken, the old David Lynch-ish fairground located at the outskirts of the forest.

Copenhagen / Harbour

As, mentioned before, I'm a big fan of summer and the short distance to the water for a swim. Islands Brygge is situated only 5 minutes away from my studio. I often go for a dip while working. Popular amongst all the people in Copenhagen and many people barbecue and have beers during the evening there.

Copenhagen / Restaurant

Best shawarma in Copenhagen. Open until 5am in weekends

Copenhagen / Bar

Nice place in summer for drinks and food. Close to the water as I prefer it. Music and nice dancing if the company is right.
