Baths and beaches

Just five kilometers from the centre of Copenhagen you find the new city beach with enough space for all kinds of beach life.

The beach area consists of an artificial island just off the coast, forming a lagoon with toddlers' pools and a 1,000-metre long rowing and swimming lane.

The swimming stadium in Copenhagen appears as a beautiful modern building where the suspended roof sits in state over the asphalt jungle.

Bellevue Beach, about 10 kilometres from Copenhagen City, is a 700 meters long and has both lifeguards and freshwater showers on the beach.

The beach is just off the picturesque fishing village, Tårbæk, and right next to Strandvejen at the Arne Jacobsen-designed Bellevue Theatre.

Cruises to the Copenhagen Sea Fortresses.

Halvandet is a beach bar close to the city centre complete with beach furniture and stunning cityscape views.

Play volley ball, basket, football, petanque, mini golf, or kayak polo.

Enjoy a refreshing swim right in the middle of town.

The open-air swimming pool Fisketorvet has 3 separate pools: a children's pool, a diving pool, and swimming pool.

Open air swimming right in the centre of the city. Meet local families with children, beach boys and regular swimmers alike.

On hot days, Copenhageners swim with the city's spires in free view. During the week, many locals pass the pool for a quick dip on their way home from work.
