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

Christiania attracts a lot of tourists because of its free-spirit culture and open sale of drug, but if you venture further into the area you will find some great experimental architecture, mainly developed under the idea of ‘architecture without architects’. Ordinary building restrictions did not seem to be a consideration in Christiania, and in the area you find futuristic spaceships, sustainable buildings, buildings made out of what material was available during the process, or buildings made from architecture students volunteering to try our new ideas. Now the government try to control the development with impending rules and regulations - such as the new law that nothing new can be built except roofing. The inhabitants solution is to make houses entirely out of roofing…  In the area around Christiania you find some beautiful house boats for inspiration, some small and some matching the size of an ordinary house. Here you can see converted ferries, a three storey boathouse and some that looks like shipping containers. I love exploring this whole area, as it feels like I find new, hidden gems every time I visit, at the same time as being a nice relaxing weekend stroll.

Small hotel with a nice lobby bar. I hang here for coffee or drinks with friends. A inner courtyard that reminds me a bit abut Hotel Amour in Paris.

The former shipyard at 'Refshaleøen' is a great place to explore. Go for a walk through the big beautiful industrial buildings, and visit the many newly opened cafes, beer breweries, and restaurants Photo: © Ture Andersen

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.
