Want to really feel like a local in Copenhagen? Hop on a bike and head to the canals. No matter the month of the year, you’re bound to see locals bathing in the canals. In the winter, it is a popular activity to take an ice bath and head to a sauna. And in the summer months, the banks that line the canals turn the city into one big party on hot summer days.

To get the full experience, I really recommend renting a hot tub at CopenHot and going for a chilly canal swim – it’s one of the best things to do in Copenhagen in the winter.
