Copenhagen's canals

The Copenhagen canals are a sight for sore eyes in the spring. Take a walk along the water, jump in a kayak or go all in with a GoBoat, where you can enjoy a floating picnic. The canal in the old neighbourhood Christianshavn is especially charming.

Bispebjerg Cemetery

In April, this place is packed with people trying to get just the right shot of the beautiful Sakura trees. If you’re really dedicated, you’ll get up before everyone else to have a moment alone in the pink wonderland. While you’re there, make sure to go by Grundtvig’s Church – its gothic architecture is just stunning
