A modern Venice

As told before the newly developed area of Sluseholmen reminds me of Venice with its canals, bridges and residences on both sides. There's still missing quite a bit in my opinion, as there's not many shops, cafés or restaurants so it is a very quiet area.

Every nook and cranny

In a city like Copenhagen the people seem very adapt at using every nook and cranny to find a place to relax, to reflect, to read a book or just to get some sun. This place under the Metropolis building in the South Harbour District is perfect for all of that.

Red carpet for the swimmers

The red carpet has been laid out at the harbour bath that I told you about yesterday. Hopefully it will be used a lot this weekend.

Time for a dip

As summer seems to hit Copenhagen this weekend with temperatures of up to 30C, this might be one of the more popular places. It's one of the harbour baths in Copenhagen Harbour that have sprung up during the last 5 years or so. Not too many years ago it would have been impossible to swim in the harbour unless you really wanted to catch more than a cold, but recently the water quality has improved so much that it's now perfectly OK to take a dip. This one is placed at Sluseholmen in the South Harbour district with the Metropolis building in the background.
