When summer hits Copenhagen, the whole city comes alive. Bikes fill the streets, terraces buzz with energy, and outdoor plans are everywhere. But if you’re looking for something a little different to do with friends, here are a few creative and memorable ideas.
1. Dive into a sensory adventure at IKONO Copenhagen
Want something truly unique? IKONO Copenhagen is an artistic, immersive playground full of color where you and your friends are the main characters. Think interactive rooms, lights, textures, and one-of-a-kind settings that spark your imagination and make the experience just as fun as it is unforgettable.
Perfect for hanging out, snapping awesome pics, and letting your creativity run wild. It’s a must-do if you’re looking for original plans right in the heart of the city.
2. Bike ride through the city + canal-side picnic
Biking around Copenhagen in summer? A total must. Plan a route with your friends to Islands Brygge or Søndermarken and end it with a picnic by the water. Bring music, card games, and soak up that outdoor life just like the locals.
3. Paddleboarding or kayaking on the canals
Yep—Copenhagen is just as awesome from the water. Rent a kayak or paddleboard from places like Kayak Republic or GreenKayak and discover the city from a whole new angle. It’s active, fun, and a super refreshing way to spend time with your crew.
4. Ice cream + a stroll through Nyhavn
Sometimes, simple is perfect. Grab a gelato, stroll along Nyhavn, chat on one of the colorful benches, or check out the hidden shops in the nearby alleys. It’s a chill plan, but full of charm.
5. Outdoor culture: movies, art & concerts
Copenhagen’s summer cultural scene is packed. From free outdoor movies in the park to live music festivals and street art exhibitions, there’s always something cool going on. Dive in and explore what the city has to offer!
