Copenhagen's coolest outdoor pool complex sits right in the central city's main canal.
Water quality is rigorously monitored, and the lawns, BBQ facilities and eateries make it a
top spot to see and be seen on a warm summer day, whether you get wet or not. In 2014,
plans were underway for winter-friendly saunas and thermal baths, as well as a sixth pool.
