Copenhagen summer: Hot & cool
Visit the happiest people in the world!
Spend your summer days with the happiest people in the world—come to Copenhagen, the
capital of Denmark!
Surveys show that Denmark is home to the happiest people in the world. With the arrival of summer’s mild, comfortable weather, you’ll find the charming streets of Copenhagen buzzing with friendly people strolling and sightseeing, shopping for treasures, or taking in the sunshine at one of the many cafes with outdoor service.


great destinations Copenhagen is an easy metropolis to manage—where almost everything is within walking or biking distance. If you're lucky, you can even catch one of the free bicycles available to tourists. The city center is home to Europe’s longest pedestrian shopping street and a wealth of historical, art, and design museums, the Little Mermaid, Tivoli Gardens, and Amalienborg Palace, the Queen's residence. Restaurants, cafes, bars, night clubs, concert halls, and theaters are everywhere. And the colorful canal pier of Nyhavn is a great place for people-watching and joining in the fun—day or night.

Summer is a great time to enjoy the water surrounding Copenhagen as well as the city squares and green parks. See the city from a different angle on a canal cruise, or visit one of the three sea forts at the entrance to the harbor. Or, if you'd like to get into the water yourself, jump right in! The water of the Copenhagen harbor is great for swimming. On warm days, Copenhageners flock to the revived and lively Copenhagen Harbor Swim Baths—the so-called "Copencabana" or “Islands Brygge”.
great destinations Explore trendy up-and-coming neighborhoods. Some of Copenhagen's most surprising neighborhoods are on the borders of downtown. These former working-class neighborhoods are within easy reach—walk, ride a bike, or hop aboard one of the many public buses. Go west and you’ll find the former red light district in Vesterbro, lined with cafes and design and clothing boutiques. Take an entertaining audiowalk and learn about the history of this unique area. Head north to multi-cultural Nørrebro with its trendy, cutting-edge clothing and design shops, numerous antique shops, cafes, and restaurants. To the south, toward the airport on the island of Amager, is Christianshavn with its own bohemian personality. Businessmen, artists, yuppies, hippies, and traditional families with children live side-by-side among cool cafes, great restaurants, and charming 19th-century houses lining the picturesque canals.
great destinations For lovers of art, music, and great food, Copenhagen is a summer paradise. The city’s restaurants have been awarded 12 stars by The Michelin Guide, making Copenhagen the Nordic city with most Michelin-starred restaurants. During the summer, restaurants are able to take extra advantage of locally grown ingredients, and in late August, visitors and locals will enjoy Copenhagen Cooking, a luxury food exhibition and gourmet dining experience at a much lower than usual price tag (August 22–31). In the beginning of July, during Copenhagen Jazz Festival, the city vibrates with all kinds of jazz at indoor and outdoor venues throughout the city (July 4–13). The summer’s art highlights include a fascinating exhibit of the Danish Skagen Painters, known for their depiction of life in the art colony and fisherman’s village of Skagen at the tip of Denmark (Arken - Museum of Modern Art, till June 1), and an international exhibition of art by Cézanne and Giacometti
(Louisiana, till June 29).
