As the summer is my favorite time of the year and that the beach is just 15 min bikeride away, I recommend Amager strand. Full of people usually though, but even so it gives a bit of an exotic touch to such a scandinavian city with the sea and the bright sand in the hot summer days.

Favourite place for a cappucino and a croissant. The best pastry in the whole city all year. In the summer the ice cream is just... nothing better!

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.

Cinemateket is a really amazing cinema. It doesn’t show any new releases, but always has an interesting program that takes starting point in either a period in the history of film, a director, an actor/actress or another theme.

The Botanical Garden is a truly unique place in Copenhagen, A place You can visit all year. the outdoor area is perfect for a hideaway from the city center. The Greenhouse it's absolutely stunning (entry fee)  Photo: © Ture Andersen
