Large man-made sand island with beaches all round. Copenhagen’s most famous and main beach. Must go to the northern part, I enjoy going a bit further south out to the pier, which is usually less crowded and great for getting some swimming in - as you can jump straight into the sea!

Beautiful forest north of Copenhagen. UNESCO world heritage site and former royal hunting grounds. In my opinion the most beautiful nature around Copenhagen can be found here. Take the train from Bispebjerg to Hellerup and change to S-train line C terminating in Klampenborg. The park is massive and there are thousands of deers in the park walking amongst the visitors. In the middle is the Eremitage Castle along with large open plains. I recommend going straight along the main park, past the amusement park in the South of the park, and going alone the large avenue dirt path. Popular mountain biking area as well. I would say a trip usually takes 2 - 4 hours, excluding travel time.

Lousiana is a stunning and iconic institution that always features very interesting artists. Great desitination on a day-trip to see North Zealand, along with Elsinore. It’s possible to bike there as well, which can also be a beautiful ride (will take some hours though)

A modern art museum in the very center of the city which can be enjoyed at the beginning or end of a day wandering around the medieval city center. Lies by Nyhavn, one of the most picturesque parts of the city. The exhibitions change frequently but the main gallery with very large paintings in an epic setting.
