Rent a boat

Play a little footie

Football is the national sport of Denmark so you can enjoy passing around a ball with some friends.

It is a great way to make friends and get some exercise under the sun.

Eat food

Spring is a great time to celebrate that winter has ended and move outside to enjoy life. Many Copenhageners do so with some food and drink in the great restaurants all over Denmark.  Here are some great places to go.

To have a unique experience, visitors can visit Kayak Bar. It is located by the bridge Knippelsbro and at the very waterline in the heart of Copenhagen. The historical surroundings gives the bar a rustic atmosphere and its floating beach and sauna make it even more special.

For those who crave street food, they can go to Copenhagen Street Food on Papirøen (Paper Island) in Copenhagen. It is the city’s first and only genuine street food market.  It is like street food heaven. There is a wide variety of street food from all corners of the world in small food trucks. The best part about it is that you can enjoy them indoors in the raw halls or in the sun overlooking the city’s waterfront. It is a great way to celebrate the end of winter.

Organic foodies and locavores can revel in the dishes served at Søren K. They make an effort to use a lot of Scandinavian, Danish, and local produce. They endorse the thought of organic food production and use fresh ingredients to make the best and most tasty dishes.

Drink coffee

Join the Copenhagen Sakura festival

This festival is celebrated on the 25th -26th of April. The festivities include a traditional tea ceremony, Japanese drum show, and demonstrations of Aikido Martial Arts.

Copenhagen was given 200 of these breathtaking Japanese trees on H.C. Anderson’s 200th birthday. The trees were planted along the waterfront of the citadel, Kastellet, in Langelinie Park. It is a marvel to behold.

Visit great places in Copenhagen

When spring brings new colors to Copenhagen, it is a great time to travel around to make the most of the spring season.

Upcoming Events Copenhagen search :

If you’re not due to head to Copenhagen for a while, don’t worry: there are several websites where you can find equally exciting events to attend. Many allow you to look up specific months or dates, or to search by type of event.

http://www.copenhagen.com/events

The city’s official website offers day-by-day lists of events, which go up to a few months in advance (but with more detail the nearer the event is, as you might expect). It’s great if you need to fill an extra day in your itinerary, or you’re planning a last-minute trip.

http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/search/whatson

Similarly, if you want to find out what’s on right now, the tourism website is a wise choice. It’s particularly useful if you’re into theatre, but it does list other events, such as food markets and the sand sculpture festival.

http://cph-tourist.dk/

To find out about some smaller events, you could do worse than check here. Via the “What’s On” sub-menu, everything is organised by month, but not very far in advance. You can’t search by category, but they mention everything from fashion, music, sports, food, Pride, theatre, Lego, antiques and cinema.

http://www.kultunaut.com/

Kultunaut is the most eclectic, and it also has the most specific search functions – particular areas of Copenhagen, type of activity (there are many – sports matches, exercise, culture, child-friendly), and various time periods. You’ll just need to give it time to change from Danish to English when the search results come up.
