What To Do In Copenhagen On A Summer Day

Go to one of the many flea markets about town and get yourself a good deal on nice stuff, e.g. Royal Copenhagen porcelain, like here at Kongens Nytorv.


Sit outdoors at a cafe and enjoy watching the Copenhageners walk by. 


Grab a quick lunch from one of the many takeout places in town and enjoy your meal in the sun. 



Hang out at a hotspot like Nyhavn with all types of people from tourists to hipsters. You can find other suggestions about what's fun to do in the area around Nyhavn here as well.


Be a photo buff for a day, break out the fancy lenses and cameras and shoot away.


Enjoy an old-fashioned Danish ice cream cone complete with whipped cream and a dollop of jam, like here in Nyhavn.


Have a dinner party outdoors and don't forget to chill some Asti for the occasion. 


Barbecue, Barbecue, Barbecue!!! Have grill, must barbecue!


Cross one of the many bridges in central Copenhagen and enjoy the view of the city on either side. 


Go sightseeing from the water and hop on one of the canal tour boats that offer guided tours around town.


Or you can rent a canoe and steer the boat yourself, like here in Lyngby Lake just outside Copenhagen.


Or rent a kayak in central Copenhagen, like here right near Børsen (The Stock Exchange).


And here's yet another option for exploring the city on your own by water while chilling with your pals. 


Sit in one of the many lovely parks in town, like here in Frederiksberg Have (Frederiksberg Garden).

Spring Is Here! No, This Time It Really Is


Ok, so I've written a few times that spring has finally arrived in Copenhagen and every time had had to amend this because winter apparently wasn't quite done with its stay in town. But this time, THIS TIME, it's here! The temperature finally reached over 6 degrees Celcius, the sun was out and it was warm enough to enjoy being outdoors for a long walk.

If you don't believe me, check out the photos below:

Here are some sights from Frederiksberg Have (Frederiksberg Park)...








..... and here, by one of The Lakes, Sankt Jørgens Sø (St. George's Lake), near Tycho Brahe Planetarium...


Notice the swans' nest with eggs below.


The husband didn't mind posing by this fountain on Frederiksberg Alle on this fantastic official first real spring day. Can't wait until the trees start sprouting green leaves!



And as I might have mentioned in an earlier post, once the sun comes out, the Copenhageners find their spot in it and just soak in all its warm goodness. Like so:

Now to celebrate with some additions to my spring wardrobe... It's as good an excuse as any. :-)
