Sports and leisure activities Copenhagen

DGI-Byen is a quite amazing aquatic center. First of all for its swimming pool. A beautiful and rather original pool... because to do your laps you turn in a circle! Indeed, the pool is circular. Be careful, we do not swim in all directions. To avoid accidents, the swimming direction is compulsory and it changes every Monday! On Tuesday and Thursday evening, a wellness evening. Subdued light atmosphere and amplified water noise! Other activities await you: restaurant, sauna, bowling with 16 lanes in the center of town. Ideal for families.

A beautiful indoor swimming pool built in 1933, covered by a skylight and decorated with superb Art Deco ceramics - depicting bathers in the antique style! - signed by the Danish painter Vilhelm Lundstrøm, an artist exhibited in all the museums of the kingdom. Salt water pool for flotation, sauna and whirlpool. One evening a month is Midnight Swimming Pool. No light other than lighted candles and absolute silence! A relaxing experience for adults only! Also, on certain Sundays, access to the spa is open to families.

GreenKayaks are double kayaks, stable and easy to handle, no previous experience is required. Since you are paddling on the water, your pants may get wet, so take appropriate clothing! Certified instructors will greet you and guide you through your trip on the canal. It's called Green, because this idea comes from an environmental NGO. Along the way, you will collect floating waste on the water which will then be weighed and recorded. A nice way to have fun while acting for the planet!

CPH-Ø1 is a parkingpel. What is it? A small island consisting of a 20^m2 wooden platform with a lime tree at its center, which can be reached by kayak or GoBoat. Unique today, it will soon be accompanied by a large number of other islands - each built to host a specific activity, but all floating, with saunas, cafés, gardens or myticultural farms and so on. It's a fun (and original) way to play Robinson Crusoe, while taking a break in the waters of Copenhagen Harbour!

Copenhagen has very few natural beaches. That's why, in Østerbro, a district in full development, a bathing beach was created 12 years ago. A magnificent bathing area of 4,000 m² identifiable with the chimneys of the power plant: the small beach of blond sand is flanked by a long wooden pier of 130 m long, where you can rest on deckchairs overlooking the calm waters. Swimming is supervised in summer, but access to the beach is free all year round. Beach volleyball and kite flying are waiting for you!

Become the captain of your own boat! Let's go with GoBoats. An eco-friendly and fun way to navigate the canals of Copenhagen. No certification or sailing experience is necessary. Each boat can accommodate 8 people and has a picnic table for a convivial moment. No engine noise (the boat is electric), the silence of the water, a calm atmosphere and an ideal setting to breathe and move without any particular effort... But be careful with the surrounding navigation. Be cool but vigilant!

Swimming in the waters of Copenhagen harbor is possible! And all year round. This urban "beach" consists of five pools (two of which are reserved for children), beautiful wooden beaches and a diving board that looks like the bow of a boat. It is the proof of a certain water quality... This one is checked daily and approved by the authorities before the entry of the swimmers. In case of prohibition, a red flag is raised.
