In Copenhagen you are never more than 15 minutes from the waterfront, and the water runs free through the old canals and the Lakes. Life in Copenhagen is lived by and in the water. During the summer months, you will find Copenhageners seeking out the sun at the city beaches and beach bars, swimming in the clean water inside the harbour baths and kayaking around the canals. Even in winter, cool winter bathers dip themselves in the harbour. Away from the harbour you will find Copenhageners strolling around the Lakes and eating lunch by the canals with their feet hanging over the railing.
