Both bridges are great examples of Copenhagen as a world-class cycling city. The School in Sydhavnen The students at this primary school have the ocean as part of their daily life. They have access to sea kayaks, wetsuits, fishing rods, and nets. If you have time, get off your bike and enjoy the tranquillity from the school’s wide wooden staircase. Photographer Signe Nors Sluseholmen Sluseholmen was previously a large industrial area. Today, it is a modern maritime community with a total of 8 residential islands with streets named after famous jazz musicians who have lived in Copenhagen. Photographer Signe Nors Fiskerihavnen Fiskerihavnen er med sine bådhuse og selvbyggerhuse et lille lokalt maritimt havnemiljø. Små fiskerbåde stikker til søs, og lak og bejdse river i næsen. Her er Neptun og havfruer spillevende. Fortsæt ud af den lille grussti og langs vandet. Photographer Sydhavnens Genbrugscenter Sydhavnen's Recycling Center Walk around on the roof of the recycling centre whose structure is formed as the number 8. A visual manifestation of Copenhagen's goal to accelerate the city's circular economy. The building is made of recycled concrete from the chimney at CopenHill. Photographer Martin Auchenberg Sydhavnstippen This green peninsula offers a wealth of experiences. Sydhavnstippen is a large protected natural area with rare orchids and birds. Perhaps you can even spot a South American alpaca. Bike along the canal and see self-built creative housing and small sheds. Photographer Ursula Bach Valbyparken Når vinden kan ses og høres i den 1 km lange allé med poppeltræer, som fører ind i Valbyparken, så vejrer surferne langs vandet morgenluft og kaster sig ud i bølgerne. I 2021 åbnede Valbyparkens helt egen badestrand, hvor der kan soles, leges og bades. Photographer Ursula Bach Valbyparken Nature Playground The massive nature playground in Valbyparken offers activities for children of all ages. Opening hours can be found at kk.dk/naturlegepladsen. Photographer Ulrich Jakobsson Valby Hallen & Vandkulturhuset Valby Idrætspark offers plenty of activities both outside and inside.

Photographer Signe Nors Vestre Kirkegård Being the country's largest burial site, Vestre Kirkegård seems infinitely large. Colloquially, the lake in front of the North Chapel is referred to as 'The Red Sea', as many former social democratic prime ministers are buried here. Photographer Signe Nors Den Gule By & Jernbanebyen A different world emerges in the form of a time pocket - Den Gule By (The Yellow City) and the newly founded hub in nine old wooden barns from 1909, Banegaarden. Today, the area hosts various events such as communal dining and salsa evenings.
