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

My favorite gallery in Copenhagen, located in the meatpacking area... its great for spotting up and coming talents but also established artists from around the world.

Contemporary Art Gallery in the center of Copenhagen focusing on mainly international, abstract, minimalistic art. 

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.

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!
