Warm up with swimming, sauna and hot tub

Posted: 6. november 2024Reading time: 10 min.
It's too cold to jump into the water in the city's many harbour baths, but don't worry. Copenhagen has a wealth of opportunities to take a dip in the many swimming pools. Take the Metro and you'll get there quickly.

Swim in a circle in DGI Byen

If you're in the mood for non-stop lap swimming, the Aquatic Centre in DGI Byen is the perfect place. If you get off the Metro at Copenhagen Central Station, simply cross Tietgensgade to jump into the 100 metre long elliptical pool and swim away.

You can also challenge yourself in the diving pool with a five-metre high climbing wall, trampoline and diving platforms from 1.5 to 5 metres. If you're looking for more relaxation, you can also sit back and relax in the hot water pool and spa.

A swim with a historical flavour

Frederiksberg Swimming Centre is one of Denmark's oldest swimming pools, and here you can enjoy a swim under the beautiful skylight. If you take the Metro to Aksel Møllers Have, you can take a nice stroll through the park before you jump in.

The swimming pool has both regular pools for swimming, a family pool with a child-friendly temperature and a fun slide with light and sound effects on the way down. In addition, the wellness area is the perfect place to relax with saunas, steam rooms, massage chairs, foot baths and jacuzzis.

Enjoy light therapy in the spa  

Take the Metro to Poul Henningsens Plads if you fancy a swim in beautiful surroundings. Øbro-Hallen has been beautifully renovated so you can enjoy the neoclassical style with vaulted ceiling and skylights while swimming in the 25 metre long pool.

The swimming pool also features a 1-10 metre diving board, plenty of facilities for babies and children and a relaxing spa with spa, Finnish sauna and Roman steam room. You can also sit back in the light room and enjoy the special light ceiling, which is believed to have a beneficial effect on winter depression.
