Islands Brygge Harbour Bath

Quiet electric boats for up to eight that you steer yourself around the harbor, with no license needed and a quick lesson before you set off.

Lofts with full kitchens, the biggest with a second bedroom and bathroom, and a rooftop terrace with shared lounges.

Ice cream made from scratch in a tiny shop off Amagerbrogade, with pastries baked in the back and espresso from the Swedish roaster Koppi.

Three pools in the harbor itself, with springboards at 1, 2 and 3 meters, right beside a shopping mall.

Family Four rooms sleep four with a sofa bed for the kids, in a hotel on the harbor front with a rooftop bar on the sixth floor.

Budget rooms with air-conditioning, designed by the architect Kim Utzon, a short walk from Tivoli and the central station.
