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.

Explore Copenhagen from the waterside. Fore me it's the best way to experience the waterfront of Copenhagen.  places like Christianshavn, Gl. Strand , Sydhavnen  or Refshaleøen offer many beautiful things to see. you can rent boats and kayaks in many places Harbour.

My favourite place to hang out in this city (and a hidden gem)! The simple café and restaurant in Copenhagen’s rustic Refshaleøen is all about 'hygge'. La Banchina boasts one of the city’s best spots for sunbathing and jumping in the water from early spring to late autumn. And during winter, the wood-fired sauna gets you all set after a cold dip in the harbour.

Kastrup Sea Baths is a architectural pearl and a truly magical place, all year around. The Kastrup Sea Baths is free of admission and open to the public at all times. Design by White Arkitekter Photo: © Ture Andersen

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.
