It won't get more fairytale!! You can catch a ride from the gangway in the East part of the lake near Dronning Louises Bro. On the bank West of Peblingesøen you find Søpavillonen. It's a wooden house, built by the a iceskating association as there clubhouse. It's kind of crazy, because it's not every year or every two years, that the lake freez over. In this part of the lake you can iceskate, if Winter is coming. Most Thursday afternoons children learn to sail in the west part of the lake. They are sailing in Optimist dinghies. Most people walk or run around the lake. You can also sit on the bank with a cup of what ever. This place is most beautiful during dawn or sunset. You can catch the most beautiful colors in the sky.

Any of the lakes in Copenhagen is worth your time. I love when you can be by the water in the…read moremiddle of cities and the Lakes and here Peblinge Sø is one of them. I used to run around these lakes while I was living in Copenhagen and I loved it. The paths around the lakes are good and easy to run on, flat and not to hilly so it is great for beginners to run on. It is even a very romantic place to take a stroll around when the sun is setting and the sky is turning red. They are not great to bathe in though as not only is the water dirty and filled with bikes and what ever else is in the city and the lakes are to shallow to be swum in. But even if you can not bathe in the lake it is still worth having in the city as it gives a sense of space and nature even in the middle of the biggest city of Denmark.

For example, there's a fountain inspired by Morocco. They also have areas for skateboarders, bicyclists, etc. If you love design, this one photographs well with quirky lines painted on the ground.

Swimming in the Copenhagen harbor is an iconic summer thing when visiting or living in Denmark. The…read moreharbor bath (pool) near the large Fisketorvet Shopping center is quieter than its larger cousin further down the canal at Islands Brygge. There are many lanes here for swimming laps and a diving platform for kids of all ages to jump in and cool off. The "children's pool" here was a little green with seaweed and may be offputting to some. This is not a crystal clear swimming pool, but a life-guarded and contained place to safely swim right in the harbor.

Their is a big playground, mini golf (bring your own balls and putter), boulders for climbing, ballpark, and some strange looking statues. Best of all, it is neighbour to Assistensens Kirkegård, and you always have this great cemetery as background. You can look for the woodpickers and squirrels in the big old trees.

The Canal Tours trip was better. But they ARE different and both are included on the Copenhagen…read moreCard! I had a full week in Copenhagen. The city is full of canals. I like being on the water. Put me on a boat so I can explore the city while also sitting for an hour or so and I am happy gal. So on my next-to-last day in the city, needing to kill a little time before a museum opened up, and wanting to rest my feet for a spell...I hopped on a Netto boat tour. Also...because I had already done the other boat tour included with the Copenhagen Card. The boats are a little dingier and dirtier than some other tour companies. And they pack the boats full. You may not have much personal space on a busy day. But you get a full circle tour of the city from the water and you get to be on a boat for an hour. So...*shrug* So I stand by the Canal Tours being much better. But I think as long as you get to do a boat tour during your time in town, any one will do.

"Look ma, I'm on a boat!"…read more No, it's not that kinda boat, but it serves its purpose and floating along Copenhagen's canals on a clear, crisp day is really romantic. SIGH. It's so romantic, we decided to kiss every time the boat goes under the bridge. And people! there are MANY bridges on this tour, over 20 in fact, but who's counting? If you're not a romantic, the practical purpose of this tour is to catch your bearings. Whenever I'm somewhere new, I always opt for the best mode of transportation to see the city. And here, it's best seen on the water. You'll pass the famous Little Mermaid, the impressive Opera House, the upscale Christianshavn neighborhood, Vor Freslers Kirke, etc. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and costs 60 Dkk (that's only $10!) and it's the best tour given in Danish and English. Don't go to the DFS company, they charge twice as much for the same exact tour.
