Especially lovely in the autumn, Frederiksberg Have is a really grand park in the middle of the district— Freckled with ponds, streams, and an old palace atop a hill in its centre.

Up for tennis? Kløvermarkens Tennis Club is a magnificent club, surrounded by old fruit trees, located 5 minutes by bike from Christianshavn. The club was founded in 1926 and has today 12 clay courts and 3 indoor courts. Photo: © Ture Andersen

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.
