Come to Copenhagen, she said. On a bluebird day in Denmark, there is possibly no better place in the world to be. I may be biased, but Danish life in the summer is sunny and sweet. Picture this. Brilliant blue skies, dotted with candy floss clouds slowly shifting overhead. Seagulls swoop over crystal clear canals as boats parade past in every iteration. Canal cruises take the tourists, while locals set sail or putter in electric picnic boats and floating platforms.
You think I jest. Don your suit and take a dip. We all do! Original post June , update d June We have had more sunshine here in Scandinavia than any year since the Danish Meteorological Institute started recording in Doing everything you can possibly do β¦ al fresco.

Wave to the boaters who can pick up eats and drinks right from the water. In the heart of the old city, right where Holmens canal meets the main harbor is where you will find the Kayak Bar. For uncertified kayakers, there are guided tours to join or sit-upon kayaks to rent. Check their website for up-to-date prices and tour options. The setting here is rustic but they have food on offer and the sun stays late in this hard-to-beat location.
